Hi,
If you want to have multiple stores in a single website ; it will require a multi-vendor component.
Because you don't want the different stores to manage or access products of the other stores.
Thanks to HikaMarket ; you can have other accounts who will be able to manage their products, categories, orders, discounts, etc ; directly from the front-end of the website.
They won't have access to the backend, they won't have access to the configuration or to elements you don't want them to have.
All the stores will be on a single website but each store can have his "vendor page", showing and selling their products.
You will be able to get some fees on the sales or let them paid for a subscription.
They could be paid directly, you can be paid directly or you can use a special payment gateway to pay several accounts in the same time.
If you want to know more about the HikaMarket possibilities, I recommend you two documentation pages:
