BuddyPress Add-on Plugin

BuddyVendor

Your BuddyPress community and your multi-vendor marketplace run as two separate sites with no connection between them. BuddyVendor links BuddyPress or BuddyBoss profiles with Dokan, WCFM, and WC Vendors so vendors can showcase products on their community profile and new product listings and reviews automatically appear in the activity feed.
