Plaza Licensing for Brands
Want your own marketplace? License Plaza to run a branded storefront powered by our platform.
What Is Plaza Licensing?
Plaza is the platform technology behind Wargaming3D and Minihoarder. We built it as multi-tenant infrastructure so creators and brands can have their own marketplaces without building from scratch.
Think "Shopify for 3D printing" - but for your brand.
