Digital Experience & Growth
Multi-Vendor Marketplace Development
Product marketplaces where many sellers list and ship goods through one storefront, with seller onboarding, catalogue moderation, commission rules, split settlements, seller dashboards and compliance for marketplace operators.
Capability overview
What multi-vendor marketplace development involves
A multi-vendor product marketplace behaves like a large online store where each product may come from a different seller. The operator manages the brand, catalogue quality and customer experience, while sellers manage stock, pricing and fulfilment. Getting the rules and tools right for sellers is as important as the shopping experience.
We build on platforms such as Adobe Commerce with marketplace extensions, CS-Cart Multi-Vendor, Medusa or custom stacks, depending on scale and flexibility required. Marketplace operators in India also need to meet obligations under the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, such as seller information display and grievance handling, and handle GST TCS requirements.
