I build bespoke marketplace platforms: multi-vendor marketplaces, service booking platforms, B2B exchange tools and the internal dashboards that run the operation behind them. One person, start to finish. A marketplace is not a complicated website: it is a product with at least two sides that need to trust it, a payment flow that has to work without failure, and a data model that gets expensive to fix if it is wrong from the start.
Marketplace software development is the design and build of platforms that connect two or more user groups: buyers and sellers, clients and service providers, renters and owners. The platform earns by facilitating those transactions, typically through a commission or listing fee. What sets marketplace builds apart from general software is the architecture: multi-tenancy by design (each seller's data and storefront must be isolated but visible to buyers), payment splitting and commission logic, seller onboarding and KYC where regulated, trust and review systems, and the operational tooling the platform owner needs to manage disputes, payouts and quality.
I build on tools that handle two-sided economics cleanly: Next.js and React for the front end (including seller storefronts and buyer discovery), Supabase for database and row-level security, Stripe Connect for split payments and commission, GoCardless for recurring marketplace models, Make.com and n8n for seller onboarding automation and operational workflows.
Multi-vendor marketplace platforms. Separate seller storefronts within one platform: seller accounts, product or service listings, inventory management, buyer-facing search and discovery, and the admin panel the marketplace operator uses to manage the whole. Built on Next.js and Supabase with row-level data isolation between vendors.
Payments and commission logic. Stripe Connect integration for split payments, commission deduction, seller payouts and escrow-style flows where payment releases on delivery confirmation. GoCardless for subscription and recurring marketplace models.
Seller onboarding and verification. Onboarding flows with identity verification, document upload, profile setup and approval workflows so you control who goes live on your platform and when.
Service marketplace and booking platforms. Platforms that match clients with service providers: scheduling, availability management, booking confirmation, cancellation handling and the review layer that builds trust between strangers.
B2B exchange and procurement platforms. Quote-request, tender and purchase-order flows for B2B marketplaces where the transaction is not a simple add-to-cart but a negotiation between parties.
Marketplace analytics and operations dashboards. The operator-facing tools: GMV by period, seller performance, dispute tracking, payout reconciliation and the metrics your growth team needs to see without pulling them from five different places.
Multi-tenancy and data isolation. How seller data is isolated, what a buyer can see across sellers, and how the operator views it all. Built right from the start so you do not leak data between vendors or build yourself a query nightmare.
Trusted payment architecture. Whether money is held, split immediately or released on a trigger. Stripe Connect handles most of this, but the commission model and payout schedule are agreed in scoping, not retrofitted.
Marketplace builds are where agency handoffs cause the most damage. The front-end developer does not know why the payment model is built the way it is. The back-end developer does not know what the seller onboarding flow needs to show. The project manager knows neither. I work differently. One person, start to finish: we work out the data model, the payment logic, the seller journey and the buyer experience before any code is written, I design and write it in short feedback loops so you see the platform taking shape and can correct the experience before it is baked in, it ships tested and documented with payment flows verified end to end, and you get the code and full ownership.
It is the design and build of platforms that connect two or more user groups, typically buyers and sellers or clients and service providers. The distinguishing technical factors are multi-vendor data architecture, payment splitting and commission logic, seller onboarding and trust systems, and the operator tooling to manage it. It differs from general software in that getting the architecture wrong early is genuinely expensive to fix.
Yes. I integrate Stripe Connect for split payments, marketplace commission deduction, seller payouts and escrow-style release flows. The commission model and payout schedule are agreed in scoping, not retrofitted.
Yes. I build onboarding flows with document upload, identity verification where required, profile setup and operator approval workflows. For regulated categories, KYC is in the architecture from day one.
Every build is scoped and quoted on a free call. Fixed-price quotes up front, no surprises. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Yes. You get the code, the repository and full ownership. No lock-in.
