Roles and permissions
Buyers, sellers, operators, and support staff each get their own view of, and actions on, the same transaction.
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.
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.
Buyers, sellers, operators, and support staff each get their own view of, and actions on, the same transaction.
Commissions, split payments, subscriptions, deposits, and payouts that match how your marketplace earns money.
Search, filters, availability, and matching rules that help each side find the right counterpart quickly.
Reviews, verification, disputes, refunds, and an admin panel your operations team can work in every day.
Launch the smallest version that can take a paid order, then grow it based on what buyers and sellers do.
Map the sides of the market, the transaction, and how the platform makes money.
Outcome Transaction model and MVP scope
Design each role’s journey and the backend that enforces the rules.
Outcome Clickable prototype and architecture
Listings, matching, checkout, payouts, and the admin tools needed to operate.
Outcome A marketplace that takes paid orders
QA, payment testing, monitoring, and a controlled rollout.
Outcome A live platform
Mobile apps, new categories, integrations, and automation.
Outcome A roadmap driven by usage
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 |
Yes. The engagement covers the transaction, matching, payment, payout, and operational workflows those products depend on, on web and mobile.
Yes. We can take an early marketplace to production, or take over one that is already in use and hard to extend.
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.
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.
