This enables you to host more than one front-end store on different domains and manage all admin operations from your single Administration panel.

With multi-store support you can launch several online stores using a single integrated system. You can create unique online stores for multiple brands, products, B2B, B2C, affiliates, co-branded stores and more. You can also quickly launch micro-stores for promotional campaigns.

Multi-vendor and drop shipping

Multi-Vendor
Multi-vendor and drop shipping support enables you to sell online without having to stock inventory or ship orders. When drop shipping is enabled, each product is assigned to a particular vendor whose details (including email address) are stored.

When an order is placed an email is sent to the vendor of each product in the order. The email includes the products, quantities, etc. The vendor then ships the item to the customer on behalf of the merchant, who typically pays each of their vendors at the end of the month.

Products from multiple independent vendors appear in the common product catalog and your website visitors can shop at one web store even if your products are supplied by hundreds of different vendors from all over the world. Each vendor could be provided with an administrator panel access to manage their products, review sales reports and order details regarding their products. Vendors do not interfere with each other’s activity.

When a sale is made, all money will go straight to your account. Afterward, a store owner will manually distribute a payment to each vendor according to the order history.

Each vendor has its own admin panel where he can manage his catalog and see placed orders.

Search engine optimization

Seo
Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website in search engine results. SEO helps to ensure that a site is accessible to a search engine and improves the chances that the site will be found by the search engine. Our search engine optimization gives you higher search rankings, meaning more free traffic to your store.

Search engine friendly. OmniSoft combines all the features necessary to improve SEO efforts. A store owner has full access for managing of keyword tags and customized URLs. This will give your site more weight with Google when it comes to ranking your site against similar sites.

Sitemap. There are two popular versions of a site map. OmniSoft supports both of them. An XML Sitemap is a structured format that a user doesn’t need to see, but it tells the search engine about the pages in a site, their relative importance to each other, and how often they are updated. HTML sitemaps are designed for the user to help them find content on the page, and don’t need to include each and every subpage. This helps visitors and search engine bots find pages on the site.

Microdata. Integrating microdata into your website’s code offers a number of potential advantages. First, microdata can give the search-engine spiders more context for the type of information on a website and the way the site should be indexed and ranked. Another benefit of microdata is the creation of “rich snippets,” which display more information on the search result pages than traditional listings. OmniSoft also supports Twitter and Open Graph (Facebook) META tags.
