Digital Experience & Growth
Marketplace Development
Two-sided service and rental marketplaces that connect customers with providers, such as tutors, clinics, equipment owners or contractors, handling discovery, booking, trust, payments and payouts.
Capability overview
What marketplace development involves
Service marketplaces sell time, access or expertise rather than boxed products. Customers need to find a trustworthy provider who is available when they are, and providers need a steady flow of bookings and prompt payment. The platform's job is to reduce the risk on both sides so transactions happen on it rather than around it.
We build marketplaces for services, rentals and appointments, with provider verification, availability calendars, location-aware search, booking and cancellation rules, reviews and split payments using marketplace features from gateways such as Razorpay Route or Cashfree Easy Split, with payouts released after service completion.
