A marketplace is an online store that has many participating stores, similar to a shopping mall.
Amazon, Rakuten, and Yahoo Shopping are easy-to-understand examples; rather than selling their own products, their business model involves earning rent (listing fees) and sales commission from tenant businesses.
I believe I am quite knowledgeable and knowledgeable about marketplaces using WordPress in Japan, and this is because I have been creating demo sites, translating them into Japanese, and repeatedly testing and verifying them.
So what exactly is a "social marketplace"?
A marketplace is a place where many vendors gather together, and since both sellers and buyers are members, the idea is to add social networking functions like Facebook to this environment, allowing people to chat for advice, discuss hobbies in groups and on message boards, and deepen their interactions.

The integration of these is called the "social marketplace."
"WooCommerce" + "Dokan" + "PeepSo"
"WooCommerce" + "Dokan" + "BuddyBoss"
There is no integration function for "Dokan" + "BuddyBoss", but I was able to achieve this by using a different theme instead of the "BuddyBoss" theme. BuddyBoss can be used with any theme.
