Two Different Businesses, One Word
A single-brand store owns its stock, sets one price and ships from its own warehouse. A marketplace owns none of that. It has to onboard sellers, hold money it does not own, split it correctly, and referee the disputes when an order goes wrong.
Most marketplace projects that stall were scoped as "a store, but with more sellers". The catalogue is the easy half. Payouts, commission rules, returns and seller trust are where the months go, so that is where we start the estimate.
- Commission, settlement and refund rules agreed before we build the cart
- Catalogue modelled for your real variants, not a demo dataset
- Load tested against your worst hour, not your average one
What We Build For Retail
The systems behind an order, from the first search to the settled payout.
Custom Storefronts
Headless or full-stack storefronts where the catalogue, search and checkout are yours to change without waiting on a platform release.
Multi-Vendor Marketplaces
Seller onboarding, listings, commission models, split settlement and the dispute workflow that has to sit behind all of it.
Checkout & Payments
Multi-gateway checkout with saved instruments, wallets, UPI, EMI and one-tap repeat purchase — plus recovery for the ones that drop.
Order & Inventory Management
One view of stock across warehouses, stores and channels, with allocation rules that stop you selling what you cannot ship.
Subscriptions & Loyalty
Recurring orders, plans, store credit and tiered loyalty, including the dunning logic that decides whether a subscriber churns.
Commerce Apps
Android and iOS shopping apps with push, deep links and a checkout that behaves the same as the web one.
What Decides Whether It Holds
Retail platforms are judged on the four days a year when everything happens at once.
Search & merchandising
Faceted search, synonyms and ranking you can tune, because the search box is where most revenue is won or lost.
Split payments & payouts
Marketplace settlement with commissions, taxes, holds and reconciliation that an accountant will sign off.
Shipping, tax & returns
Rate calculation, multi-carrier labels, returns and refunds handled as one flow rather than three bolt-ons.
Speed under load
Core Web Vitals on the storefront and a checkout that stays up when traffic is ten times normal.
Fraud & abuse
Card testing, refund abuse, fake sellers and coupon farming — caught by rules you control, not a black box.
Attribution you trust
Server-side events and clean order data, so marketing spend is judged on what actually converted.
Platforms And Rails We Work With
Some clients want a platform extended, others want it replaced. We are not paid to prefer one, so the recommendation follows your catalogue size, margin and roadmap.
Talk to our teamHow We Deliver
Sequenced so the money path is proven long before the sale season it has to survive.
Audit the funnel
Catalogue, journey and drop-off reviewed against your real order data before anything is designed.
Commerce core
Catalogue, cart and checkout built first, with the pricing and tax rules your finance team confirmed.
Payments & fulfilment
Gateways, settlement, shipping and returns connected, then reconciled end to end against test volume.
Load test, then launch
Peak-hour load rehearsed on staging, with a rollback plan, before we go live — never during a sale.
