Meet Md Nizam

Thank you for having me! I’m Md Nizam Uddin, Co-Founder of weDevs. Over the years, I’ve been deeply involved in the WordPress ecosystem, developing innovative solutions that empower entrepreneurs and businesses. We started weDevs with a vision to create powerful, user-friendly tools that help people build and scale their businesses effortlessly. Our flagship product, Dokan, has become one of the leading multi-vendor marketplace solutions, trusted by thousands worldwide.

While WordPress has been at the core of our journey, we realized that many entrepreneurs needed even more flexibility and a simplified experience—without the technical challenges of hosting, maintenance, or complex setups. That’s what inspired us to go beyond WordPress and create Dokan Cloud—a fully managed, cloud-based solution that makes launching and growing eCommerce businesses easier than ever.But our goal is still the same: to provide a seamless and scalable eCommerce experience.

What inspired the creation of Dokan Cloud in the first place?

The inspiration behind Dokan Cloud came from a simple yet significant challenge—many aspiring entrepreneurs struggle with the technical complexities of launching an online marketplace. Traditional WordPress-based solutions require hosting, maintenance, and technical know-how. We saw an opportunity to remove these barriers and provide an all-in-one, cloud-based solution that allows anyone to start an eCommerce business with zero coding.

Right now, we’re providing two SaaS solutions including- 

• Dokan Cloud Shop  – Ideal for those who want to launch an online store without coding or managing hosting.
• Dokan Cloud Marketplace  – Designed for entrepreneurs looking to build and scale a multi-vendor marketplace where multiple sellers can sell their products.

Both solutions remove the hassle of hosting, maintenance, and setup, allowing users to focus on growing their businesses instead of dealing with technical challenges.

How does Dokan Cloud simplify the process of launching an eCommerce store without coding or hosting hassles?

Dokan Cloud Shop and Dokan Cloud Marketplace are both fully managed SaaS solutions, which means everything from hosting and security to performance optimization is handled for you.

• With Dokan Cloud Shop, you can launch your own branded online store with just a few clicks—no need to worry about domain setup and store configuration.
• Dokan Cloud Marketplace allows you to create your own multi-vendor platform, where multiple sellers can register, list products, and sell through your site—all managed from an intuitive dashboard.

This makes starting and scaling an eCommerce business incredibly easy, even for non-technical users.

How is the increasing demand for no-code solutions influencing the development of eCommerce platforms?

No-code solutions are revolutionizing eCommerce by making it more accessible than ever. Entrepreneurs no longer need technical expertise to start an online store or a marketplace. This shift is driving platforms like Dokan Cloud to focus on:

✅ Intuitive store-building experiences (drag-and-drop customization)
✅ Built-in payment & shipping integrations
✅ Automation for order processing and vendor management
✅ Scalability without technical maintenance

At weDevs, we are continually improving Dokan Cloud Shop & Marketplace to make them even more user-friendly, so anyone can build a successful eCommerce business without coding knowledge.

What types of customization and design options are available to help users create a unique online store?

Dokan Cloud comes with a variety of pre-designed templates, page builders, and branding options. So, users can create an eCommerce site that matches their vision. We also provide intuitive store builder tools and integrations with leading third-party services. Our goal is to ensure that every eCommerce business is distinct and designed to fit its niche.

How do the powerful tools offered by Dokan Cloud help store owners grow and scale their businesses?

Dokan Cloud provides essential tools that support growth:

📊 Advanced analytics – Track sales, customer behavior, and marketplace performance.
💰 Automated commission management – Especially for multi-vendor marketplaces, where owner commissions are calculated automatically.
📦 Integrated marketing & SEO tools – To help businesses rank higher on search engines and attract more customers.
🔄 Scalable infrastructure – Whether you’re running a single store or a large marketplace, Dokan Cloud scales with your business.

How do you differentiate Dokan Cloud from other eCommerce platforms in a competitive market?

The key differentiator of Dokan Cloud is our commitment to innovation and solving real challenges in the eCommerce industry. Many platforms rely on outdated systems, but we use the latest technologies and modern coding frameworks to build a high-performance, scalable, and future-ready eCommerce solution.

We don’t just follow trends—we actively research the market, analyze user needs, and identify gaps in existing eCommerce solutions. This allows us to create a platform that eliminates technical complexities while providing unmatched flexibility for business owners. 

Dokan Cloud is designed to offer a seamless, intuitive, and growth-driven experience. Our expertise in eCommerce, combined with continuous improvements based on user feedback, gives us a strong edge in a competitive market.

How do you see the eCommerce landscape evolving over the next few years, particularly in the cloud space?

The future of eCommerce is undoubtedly cloud-driven. Businesses are moving away from self-hosted, complex setups toward plug-and-play SaaS solutions that are easier to manage. As the industry evolves, we expect to see more AI-driven personalization, seamless omnichannel experiences, and deeper integrations with Web3 and blockchain technologies.

Personalization will be a key factor in the next generation of eCommerce to create unique shopping experiences, smart recommendations, and dynamic content based on user behavior. Dokan Cloud is positioned to lead this transformation by continuously evolving and adapting to the needs of eCommerce owners.

What advice would you offer to entrepreneurs and developers looking to build innovative SaaS solutions?

Focus on solving real problems. Many SaaS products fail because they focus on features rather than user pain points. Start with a clear value proposition, prioritize usability and scalability, and always listen to customer feedback. Most importantly, stay agile—the tech landscape is constantly evolving and adaptability is key to long-term success.

Absolutely! It was a pleasure discussing Dokan Cloud and the future of eCommerce. I want to thank the amazing weDevs & Dokan community for their continuous support. Your feedback and enthusiasm drive us to keep innovating and making multi-vendor eCommerce more accessible than ever. Stay tuned—there’s a lot more to come!
