Launch Your
Multi-Vendor Marketplace
We design and code transactional peer-to-peer marketplaces. Stripe Connect automated splits, merchant KYC dashboards, geographical search filters, and dispute managers built for startup scale.
Startup Reality Check: The Chicken-&-Egg Problem.
Marketplaces fail when buyers find empty catalogs or sellers find zero demand. Run our database liquidity simulator to see how geo-filters, auto-verification, and payout speed secure marketplace balance.
Automate Vendor KYC Onboarding
Manual Checks (Slow)Sellers wait days for manual document validation. Many drop out before uploading their listing inventory.
Advanced Geo-Search (PostGIS)
Text Match OnlyNo localized filters. Buyers browse nationwide posts, finding items too far away, causing cart drop-offs.
Instant Escrow Payout Sprints
Monthly Batches (Lag)Sellers wait 30 days for cash releases. Disgruntled vendors migrate back to standard direct listings channels.

Got Questions? We Have Answers.
Review the common engineering and compliance queries marketplace founders discuss with our core development leads during scoping.
We configure Stripe Connect Custom or Express integrations. When a buyer checks out, a single payment intent is authorized. Stripe holds the funds, deducts your platform fee (commission percentage), subtracts credit card processing fees, and automatically routes the net balance to the seller's linked bank account.
We leverage Stripe Connect's hosted onboarding dashboards. Merchants provide their business registration details, ID scans, and tax info directly to Stripe. This saves you from storing sensitive tax documents on your database, ensuring compliance.
Absolutely. We design secure database tables linking ratings to finished orders. Buyers can rate merchants for fulfillment reliability, and merchants can grade buyers on communication, preventing user abuse.
We utilize PostgreSQL with PostGIS extensions. By saving merchant addresses as coordinates, our backend runs spatial indexing queries that calculate exact distances instantly, displaying listings within a specified search radius.
Yes. All custom database ERD diagrams, secure Stripe webhook code routers, and app store configurations are transferred to your Git repository upon project launch, granting you complete intellectual property rights.
