SaaS & marketplace development

Marketplace development for B2B, multi-vendor, and service platforms

Listings are the easy part. We design and build the rules underneath: who can do what, how buyers and sellers are matched, how money is split and paid out, and what happens when an order goes wrong.

  • Payments and payouts designed in from day one
  • Web and mobile on one backend
  • An MVP scope that can grow into the full platform

The hard part of a marketplace is the rules between its sides

Every marketplace has at least three sides: the buyer, the seller, and you as the operator. Each needs a different view of the same order, and each can break the business if the rules are wrong.

We build B2B marketplaces, multi-vendor commerce, service and booking marketplaces, and rental platforms. The transaction model comes first because it decides the architecture. The catalog and the interface follow from it.

What the product has to carry

01

Roles and permissions

Buyers, sellers, operators, and support staff each get their own view of, and actions on, the same transaction.

02

Payments and payouts

Commissions, split payments, subscriptions, deposits, and payouts that match how your marketplace earns money.

03

Matching and search

Search, filters, availability, and matching rules that help each side find the right counterpart quickly.

04

Trust and operations

Reviews, verification, disputes, refunds, and an admin panel your operations team can work in every day.

How we build a marketplace

Launch the smallest version that can take a paid order, then grow it based on what buyers and sellers do.

Custom marketplace or off-the-shelf software?

Ready-made marketplace software is a sensible way to test demand. Custom development pays off when your rules are the product.

Consideration Off-the-shelf marketplace software Custom marketplace
First launch Fast, if your model fits the template Scoped to an MVP, then extended
Transaction rules Limited to what the platform supports Built around your pricing, approvals, and payouts
Ongoing cost Recurring license or per-transaction fees You own the code and pay for hosting and development
Integrations Plugins and whatever the vendor exposes Direct integrations with your ERP, CRM, and payment providers
Best for Validating a standard model A model that is your competitive advantage

Frequently asked questions

Do you build B2B and multi-vendor marketplaces?

Yes. The engagement covers the transaction, matching, payment, payout, and operational workflows those products depend on, on web and mobile.

Can you start from an existing marketplace prototype?

Yes. We can take an early marketplace to production, or take over one that is already in use and hard to extend.

What should a marketplace MVP include?

Enough to complete one transaction end to end: onboarding for both sides, listings or profiles, search or matching, checkout, payouts, and a basic admin panel. Reviews, advanced search, and mobile apps can follow.

How do marketplace payments and payouts work?

We integrate a payment provider that supports split payments and seller payouts, then build commissions, refunds, and reporting on top. The right provider depends on your markets and business model.
