  • Dokan plugin only lets create online multivendor marketplaces. It doesn’t empower you to create single-store eCommerce websites. Dokan Cloud will solve this limitation.
  • Since WordPress is a self-hosted platform, you have to manage your hosting, security, and performance all by yourself. The Dokan Cloud is a SaaS product, so, you don’t need to worry about all these things. Just sign up to the Dokan Cloud and you’re pretty much there to start selling your products without any hassle.

So, if you’re looking for an easy-peasy eCommerce solution without the WordPress fuss, Dokan Cloud is your ticket to stress-free selling.
