Integration between CasperVend and Marketplace Listings
tracked
Jesiris Resident
I’d like to know if there is currently any way to link CasperVend vendors with Marketplace listings — meaning, when I add a new product to the Second Life Marketplace, it would automatically appear in one or more of my CasperVend inworld vendors.
My idea is to create an inworld gallery-style store, where all products available on the Marketplace are also visibly displayed inworld using CasperVend vendors. Ideally, I’d love to be able to:
💡 Automatically sync my Marketplace inventory with selected CasperVend vendors.
💡 Choose which products appear on each vendor (e.g., categorizing them by theme, product type, etc.).
💡 Allow customers to buy directly from the vendor inworld, while still being counted as a Marketplace sale (or at least maintaining stock/pricing consistency).
Why this would be useful:
💡 Creators wouldn’t have to duplicate every product manually between the Marketplace and inworld stores.
💡 Promotes better inworld shopping experiences, while benefiting from Marketplace organization.
💡 Keeps product info, prices, and availability consistent across platforms.
💡 Encourages hybrid shopping behavior — browsing inworld, buying wherever is more convenient.
💡 Saves time for merchants who manage large catalogs.
If something like this already exists, I’d appreciate some guidance on how to set it up. If not, I think it could be a powerful feature worth considering for future development, especially as Second Life continues to support both inworld and web-based commerce.

I must say, it's mildly annoying that there's no way to see the responses people made to a post you make once it's been merged into another.
Anywhom it still would be nice to be able to have in world vendors directly hooked up to my marketplace listings.
It's nothing against casper directly since they're just working in the limitations of object contents, but I much prefer being able to use folders over funneling everything into multiple chains of boxes since it allows me to keep things organized.

Didn't LL purchase CV a while ago. As a creator and consumer, I can promise you I will buy from the MP before I buy from CV if at all possible. CV does not guarantee the product will always be listed or redeliverable. It requires land to hold a box full stop. I have personally taken extended breaks from SL and abandoned all land in the process meaning all shop fronts (paid or gifted) as well as inventory has poofed.
My main complaint about having to use both systems especially if they are both owned by LL is that the forms aren't the same for product listing. I am not asking for a lot here but ffs at least choose the same keyword layout.
It's doesn't take much time to copy over a listing to the second location. what takes the longest is removing the , or space from the keyword section. I cus both parties every time i get to this part. That alone needs to be fixed.

As someone who's shop only really exists on the marketplace, it would be nice if there was a way to have in world vendors that can be set up to directly connect to our marketplace listings.
Honestly I kind of assumed they would of done this after acquiring caspervend, but it still seems to otherwise be an entirely separate thirdparty system.
And as someone that likes being able to organize my product contents with folders, having to shove everything into multiple chains of boxes was always such a tedious choke point before marketplace got the ability to do self and mass redeliveries.

Do you realise that if you do this you'll pay 10% on inworld sales too?
Spoons Delcon
Cube Republic for most of us that amount is negligible considering the cost of holding land. Yes you can get a 16m parcel and put a box on it or just pay a small fee with every sale. personal preference. I can see how 10% would matter more with multiple account distributions though or high sales volume
Cube Republic
Spoons Delcon True. Also maybe a small cost compared to having to do the same thing 3 times over.

I really like this idea. So.e way to pick MP items to put in which vandor and the vendors tied to the MP so changes on MP are reflected in the vendor would be fantastic. No boxes piled up with stuff in them for vendors or maintaining separate vendors with no redelivery options would be a huge improvement.

I wish they had redelivery huds or terminals for all products

Why does this need to be CV integrated only? Can we not just make the process for posting to MP easier? I really dislike the idea of forcing anyone who does not use CasperVend to still deal with the clunky and difficult MP posting system we have already. And I agree, this post seems AI generated.

I'd personally like them to just get rid of the in world scripted redelivery boxes and instead make that pull from the same place the marketplace pulls its inventory from. That would probably do what most of this seemingly AI generated suggestion has. Then they could just use a setup page that is similar to what is used to setup marketplace listings to set up your vendors, that would take care of the rest of it. Which would be nice to see.
There is some integration, but not much, which includes statistical sales tracking through Caspervend. That covers the ability to include marketplace listings already, so most of the third suggestion to some degree exists.

Syncing redelivery boxes and marketplace is a good idea.
Spoons Delcon
Mochi Sakura CV already includes ability to sync with MP for redelivery. it just doesnt go both ways. Sync CV to MP then redeliver through CV and check the box to include MP items
