Overview

A marketplace is two products in one codebase

A marketplace is two products — the supplier side and the buyer side — running on the same data, with the same authentication, but with different mental models, different jobs to be done, and different success metrics. The work is to design both products and the platform underneath them without one starving the other.

We build marketplaces with a strong core (parties, listings, transactions, payouts) and the two products (supplier and buyer) shaped against the actual users. The supplier side is optimised for "list fast, get paid reliably"; the buyer side is optimised for "find what I need, trust the transaction". The platform underneath both is what makes the operation runnable.

This is the wrong engagement if you only have one side of the marketplace, or if the supplier and buyer are the same entity. For that, a SaaS product is a simpler answer.

  • Two-Sided Product Thinking — The supplier and buyer experiences are designed as two products, not one.
  • Operational Tooling — The admin console is part of the build, not a future idea.
  • Payment Reliability — Payments, holds, payouts and the reconciliation that survives an audit.
  • Search That Works — Full-text search, faceted filters and the recommendations that lift conversion.

FAQs

Questions we get asked

Something not covered here? Ask us directly.

A focused marketplace with one category, a single currency and a simple payout cycle ships in 12–16 weeks. A larger marketplace with multi-category, multi-region and a complex payout cycle runs 16–24 weeks. The timeline is set after the discovery, not before, because the scope depends on the categories and the operations.

A sign-up flow that collects the documents and the data, a KYC step that runs against the vendor you choose (or a manual review if the volume is low), and an approval workflow that the operations team can run from the admin console. The flow is part of the build, not a separate system.

Payments via Razorpay or Stripe, with a hold and payout cycle that matches your operation (T+1, T+7, monthly). Refunds, partial refunds and the reconciliation that ties to the bank statement are part of the build, with a written runbook for the operations team. We do not leave the payout flow as a manual export.

Yes, when the data model is right. We design the catalogue against attributes, not a fixed schema, so a new category is a configuration change rather than a code change. The same applies to a new region, a new currency and a new payout cycle — they are configuration, not a rewrite.
