Marketplace development
When you have a hundred sellers instead of one shop: settlements, commissions, separate inventories, a shared gateway — and a customer who should see none of it.
When a marketplace is right — and when it is not
If you sell your own goods you do not need a marketplace; a custom online shop does the job at a third of the price. A marketplace makes sense when independent sellers trade on your platform and you take a share of each transaction: a local market, a services platform, industrial B2B, or a brand bringing its suppliers together. The moment people learn a template will not do is usually the month they have to settle with three sellers and the spreadsheet gives up.
How we build it
Back end on .NET 10 with clean architecture and CQRS on the hot paths (search and cart), front end on React/Next.js with server rendering for SEO, and PostgreSQL or SQL Server depending on your infrastructure. Every seller has their own panel, every order is split per seller, and settlements are computed from that split. Automated tests on the money — that is where mistakes are expensive.
What you get
Seller panel
Onboarding, products, stock, orders, sales reports — sellers work without you.
Order splitting and settlements
One cart, several sellers, several shipments. Configurable commission, periodic settlement with a bank export.
Search and filters
Category, attribute, price, seller; fast across tens of thousands of products.
Payments and wallets
Shared gateway, seller wallets, per-seller refunds.
Admin panel
Seller and product approval, commissions, disputes, platform-wide reporting.
SEO and speed
Server-rendered product and category pages, structured data, green Core Web Vitals.
A real case
What a marketplace costs
A realistic range for a marketplace with a seller panel, settlement and payments is 450m to 1.2bn toman. What moves the figure: the number of roles, settlement complexity, integration with a warehouse or ERP, and a mobile app. The estimator gives you your own range in two minutes.
Questions
How is a marketplace different from an online shop?
A shop has one seller: you. A marketplace has several independent sellers with their own panels, stock and settlements, and you take a share of each transaction.
How long does it take?
A marketplace with seller panel, settlements and payments usually takes 3 to 5 months; a usable first version in 8 to 10 weeks.
How are sellers paid?
Every order is recorded per seller, commission is deducted, and at the chosen interval (weekly or monthly) a bank batch file is produced.
Do we need a mobile app?
Not at the start; the server-rendered web version works fully on phones. An app is justified when user behaviour asks for it — and it can be built later on the same API.
Who owns the code?
You. Code, documentation and credentials are handed over at the end; support is separate.
Can it connect to our warehouse or ERP?
Yes, through an API. That is usually the part templates cannot do and the part that justifies a custom build.
