Portal Cloud 9

Portal Cloud 9 turns your WooCommerce store into a full multi-vendor marketplace with dedicated seller and buyer portals, a glassmorphic mobile-first dashboard, product-centered messaging, visitor analytics, intelligent image processing, and seamless dark and light mode — all without touching WordPress admin. Key Features Visitor Analytics Dashboard Track page views, unique visitors, traffic sources, and referrer data across your entire store. Visualize trends with built-in charts, filter by date range, and identify top-performing products. All data is stored locally in your WordPress database and never transmitted to any external server. All analytics features are fully functional with no restrictions. Seller Phone Contact Tracking Every phone number click on your product pages is automatically recorded — who clicked, which product, and when. Summary cards show daily, weekly, and monthly totals alongside leaderboards for top products and sellers by inquiry volume. Sellers can message inquirers directly from the same view. Intelligent Image Processing Upload any format (PNG, JPEG, GIF) and Portal Cloud 9 automatically converts it to optimized WebP at 700x700px with a perfect 1:1 ratio. No image editing software required. Product-Centered Messaging Customers initiate conversations directly from product pages. Messages automatically carry the product image, name, and price for both parties. Sellers manage all conversations from their Inbox. Flexible Product Display Switch between Grid View and List View with a single click. Your preference is saved across sessions. Adaptive Theme System One-click dark and light mode toggle with signature glassmorphic design and Dodger Blue gradients. Preference persists automatically across all dashboard sections. Complete Mobile Responsiveness Built mobile-first with touch-optimized controls, swipeable elements, and fully responsive layouts across phones, tablets, and desktops.
