Is a marketplace right for you?
When You Need to Build a Marketplace
A marketplace earns on every transaction without holding inventory or delivering the service. If you want to connect two sides of a market and take a cut — you need a platform built for that model.
You want to connect buyers and sellers
- A marketplace earns on every transaction without holding inventory
- Off-the-shelf platforms can't model a two-sided business natively
Your niche is underserved by Amazon or Etsy
- Vertical marketplaces for specific industries win on trust and relevance
- A focused platform attracts both sides faster than a general one
You need a custom commission or pricing model
- Flat fee, percentage, subscription, or hybrid — SaaS tools lock you in
- A custom build lets you define exactly how you monetise each transaction
Trust and safety are central to your model
- Reviews, identity verification, and dispute resolution define the experience
- Generic platforms can't build the trust infrastructure your niche requires
Marketplace types we build
Every Marketplace Model, Built to Order
We build the architecture around your business model — not the other way around.
Multi-vendor e-commerce platform where multiple sellers list physical or digital products. Includes seller storefronts, product moderation, split payments via Stripe Connect, and order management.
Connect service providers with buyers — freelancers, consultants, tradespeople, or professionals. Features include availability calendars, booking flows, service packages, and escrow payments.
Peer-to-peer or B2C rental platforms for assets, spaces, or equipment. Real-time availability calendars, deposit handling, damage protection flows, and host/guest review systems.
Wholesale and procurement platforms connecting businesses. Account-based pricing, bulk order workflows, RFQ management, verified supplier profiles, and net payment terms.
Real-time service dispatch platforms — drivers, couriers, cleaners, or field workers matched to customers instantly. Geolocation, live tracking, dynamic pricing, and driver apps included.
Platforms for selling digital products — templates, courses, plugins, stock assets, or software licences. Instant delivery, licence key management, revenue sharing, and creator dashboards.
HIPAA-compliant platforms connecting patients with doctors, therapists, or specialists. Telemedicine integration, appointment scheduling, insurance verification, and secure record sharing.
Course and tutoring platforms connecting educators with learners. Cohort or self-paced enrolment, live sessions, progress tracking, certificate issuance, and instructor revenue splits.

How we work
From cold-start strategy to go-live in 4 phases
Week 1
Discovery & marketplace design
We map both sides of your market — who the buyers are, who the sellers are, how trust works, and what the commission model looks like before writing a line of code.
Weeks 2–3
Architecture & UX design
Two-sided data model, payment flow, onboarding funnels for both sides, and UI/UX wireframes reviewed and approved for sign-off.
Weeks 4–N
Sprint-based development
Core marketplace loop built first (list → discover → transact → review) then extended with admin tools, notifications, and analytics in fortnightly sprints.
Launch phase
Seeding strategy & go-live
Seller onboarding flows, buyer acquisition pages, payment go-live, and a cold-start seeding plan to get your first transactions on the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
A starter marketplace with core buyer/seller flows, listings, search, and Stripe Connect payments takes 8–16 weeks. A full-featured platform with mobile apps, messaging, and advanced analytics takes 16–28 weeks. Enterprise platforms with AI recommendations and KYC can take 28–36+ weeks.
We use Stripe Connect for most marketplaces — it handles split payments, seller onboarding, compliance, and automatic payouts in 40+ countries. We can also integrate PayPal Commerce, Adyen, or a custom escrow model depending on your business requirements and geography.
We help design the cold-start strategy as part of the scoping phase — typically by launching supply-side first (easier to acquire), building a curated beta with hand-picked sellers, and designing the UX to show value to buyers even before the marketplace is fully stocked.
Yes. We build buyer-facing and seller-facing apps separately or as a unified app with role-based views. We use React Native for cross-platform delivery (iOS + Android from one codebase), or native Swift/Kotlin if performance requirements demand it.
Yes. We integrate with Stripe Identity, Persona, or Onfido for document verification, selfie matching, and KYC compliance. This is common for service marketplaces, financial platforms, and healthcare providers.
Yes — 100%. Full IP transfer and NDA are signed before any work begins. The source code, database schemas, and all documentation belong to you from day one.
We build any commission structure: percentage of GMV, flat transaction fee, seller subscription tiers, featured listing fees, lead fees, freemium with paid upgrades, or hybrid models. The business logic is fully custom — not constrained by a template.
We offer monthly retainer support covering bug fixes, feature additions, and infrastructure management. Most marketplace clients keep a small dedicated team to iterate on the product as the network grows.
