Project overview
A two-sided marketplace platform: vendor onboarding, individual storefronts, unified cart and checkout, split payouts, ratings and reviews, and an operator-side dashboard. The kind of platform that becomes the backbone of a niche commerce category.
The brief
Target client
Niche commerce founders building category marketplaces (artisan goods, B2B parts, services, etc.).
Business problem
Off-the-shelf marketplace tools (Sharetribe, Marketify) feel rigid and look generic. Custom builds price most founders out.
Business value
A marketplace that looks owned, scales with vendors, and lets the operator focus on category growth instead of platform maintenance.
