Marketplace Development questions
How do marketplace payments work?
The buyer pays through the platform, the payment provider splits it, your fee goes to you, and the seller's share is paid out on a schedule. Stripe Connect handles identity checks and payouts.
Should we use a marketplace platform like Sharetribe instead?
For validating an idea quickly, a platform like Sharetribe can be a smart start. Custom development makes sense when you need workflows those platforms can't support or you're ready to scale.
How long does it take to build a marketplace?
A focused first release typically takes 12 to 20 weeks, depending on whether it handles products, services, or bookings.
Can you build mobile apps for the marketplace too?
Yes. We often launch on the web first, then add apps once the model is proven.
