Marketplace Apps
Connect Buyers, Sellers & Services
Marketplaces are more than two people exchanging money. They need users, providers, listings, search, payments, notifications, reviews, administration and often several different app experiences working together.
Several Products in One
Marketplaces Are Really Several Products in One
At least two audiences, like buyers and sellers, plus an admin team that needs visibility and control. Getting those roles right is central to the build.
Customers
Buy, book and review.
Sellers or providers
List, sell and get paid.
Admin team
Approve, manage and report.
Functionality
Marketplace Functionality
Depending on the model, a marketplace can also include registration and verification, availability, subscriptions, refunds and reporting.
Operations
Think About the Operation, Not Just the App
A marketplace has operational questions as well as technical ones. We help surface these decisions early because they directly affect the product.
Who approves a seller?
Who handles a dispute?
When is money released?
Can a provider cancel?
What happens if an order changes?
