Bring Buyers and Sellers Together on One Platform.
We build multi-vendor marketplaces for B2C and B2B commerce, with seller onboarding, catalogue management, commission-based payouts, and trust features that help both sides transact with confidence.
Trusted by teams building what's next
Marketplaces grow by attracting both sellers and buyers, and each side needs a different experience. Sellers want fast onboarding, simple listing tools and payouts they can predict. Buyers want wide choice, accurate listings, trustworthy reviews and a checkout that feels like a single store, even when an order contains items from five vendors.
As a marketplace software development company, we build the mechanics that make that work: seller onboarding with KYC, catalogue moderation, multi-vendor carts, split payments, commission rules, payouts, ratings and dispute resolution. We build on Medusa, commercetools or custom services depending on your catalogue and business model, and we often start with a focused MVP in one category.
Money movement is the hardest part. We integrate marketplace payment products such as Stripe Connect, Adyen for Platforms and Razorpay Route so that collection, commission, refunds and seller payouts are handled by a licensed provider, with Algolia or Typesense powering search across millions of listings and Shippo, Aramex or Delhivery handling shipping.
Seller verification, consumer protection and data handling are designed to support India's Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, UAE consumer law, GDPR and CCPA, PCI DSS and the KYC obligations of your payment provider. The outcome is a marketplace that both sides trust and your operations team can run without manual reconciliation.
Self-serve seller sign-up with business verification, document checks and bank account validation, routed through your payment provider so compliant sellers go live faster.
Multi-vendor carts, commission rules, refunds, holds and scheduled payouts through Stripe Connect, Adyen for Platforms or Razorpay Route, with full reconciliation.
Category-specific attributes, bulk upload, product matching and moderation queues that keep listings consistent, searchable and within your policies.
Fast faceted search across large multi-seller catalogues on Algolia, Typesense or Elasticsearch, with ranking that balances relevance, seller quality and margin.
Verified reviews, seller scorecards, returns, refunds and dispute workflows with clear timelines, evidence capture and escalation to your operations team.
Seller disclosures, grievance officer workflows, consent management and tokenised payments built to support consumer protection, data protection and PCI DSS rules.

Run the marketplace, not just the software.
The problems we most often help multi-vendor marketplaces organisations solve, and design every engagement around.
Long forms, manual KYC and unclear approval steps slow supply growth, and every week a seller waits is a week of catalogue the marketplace does not have.
Commissions, taxes, refunds, chargebacks and payouts across many vendors are complex, regulated and easy to get wrong without the right payment provider.
Inconsistent titles, duplicate products and missing attributes hurt search, conversion and buyer trust as the number of sellers grows.
Buyers need confidence in sellers and reviews, and sellers need fair rules on returns and disputes, or either side leaves for another channel.
Marketplaces need sellers to attract buyers and buyers to attract sellers, so launch scope, category focus and tooling for early supply really matter.

We design seller and buyer experiences together, because a marketplace that serves only one side does not reach liquidity.
Split payments, commissions, refunds and payouts are built on licensed marketplace payment products and reconciled to the cent.
Seller disclosures, KYC, grievance workflows and tax invoicing are product features, not afterthoughts.
We launch focused marketplace MVPs in one category, on an architecture that scales to many categories and markets.
New categories, seller tools, markets and payment methods are added by the same senior team as you grow.
What organisations in this sector gain when the software is built around their workflows rather than the other way around.
Third-party sellers expand the catalogue without the working capital and warehousing of owned stock.
Self-serve onboarding and listing tools bring sellers live in days rather than weeks.
Commission, refund and payout logic runs automatically, removing manual reconciliation and seller disputes.
Verified sellers, authentic reviews and clear dispute handling improve conversion and repeat purchase.
Commissions, subscriptions and advertising create revenue streams that grow with marketplace volume.
Search, pricing and demand data across sellers shows where to expand categories and recruit supply.
Transparent, sprint-based and built around decisions you can see. You know what ships, when, and why at every step.
Start Your ProjectWe define the launch category, seller and buyer segments, take rate, fulfilment model and the liquidity metrics that will show the marketplace is working.
Payment provider, money flow, seller KYC, tax invoicing and consumer protection obligations are agreed before design, because they shape the whole product.
Buyer, seller and operator journeys are prototyped and tested with real sellers, including onboarding, bulk listing and payout statements.
Two-week sprints building buyer, seller and admin products together against payment and shipping sandboxes, with reviews by your marketplace team.
Payout reconciliation tests, search relevance checks, fraud scenarios, load testing for sale events and a penetration test before launch.
Seed supply in one category, launch, then expand categories, markets and seller tools based on liquidity and conversion data.
Chosen per project for longevity, hiring depth and fit with your existing systems, never by fashion.
AI IN MULTI-VENDOR MARKETPLACES
We use AI in marketplaces where scale makes manual work impossible: normalising seller listings, ranking search fairly, catching fraud and fake reviews, and helping sellers list faster, with human review for policy decisions.
Explore our AI engineeringThe shifts we design for so a product launched this year is still the right product in three.
Focused marketplaces in categories such as auto parts, industrial supplies and resale are winning on expertise and curated supply.
Business buyers expect consumer-grade marketplaces with account pricing, approvals and credit terms built in.
Rules such as India's E-Commerce Rules and the EU Digital Services Act require seller traceability, disclosures and grievance handling.
Marketplaces increasingly offer seller payouts on demand, working capital and buyer BNPL through partner providers.
AI now normalises seller listings, generates attributes and detects duplicates, making catalogue quality manageable at scale.
Sponsored listings and seller advertising have become a major revenue line for marketplaces with strong first-party data.
There is no honest single number. Scope, integrations and compliance drive the budget, so we price against a written scope after discovery. The factors below are what move it.
Product, rental, service and B2B marketplaces each need different checkout, fulfilment and payment logic.
Multi-currency payouts, escrow-style holds, refunds and tax invoicing add design and testing effort.
Bulk upload, seller APIs, analytics and advertising tools grow the seller portal into a product of its own.
Millions of listings need search infrastructure, moderation tooling and AI enrichment to stay usable.
Each country brings consumer protection, KYC, tax and e-invoicing requirements to configure.
Buyer web, buyer mobile, seller portal and operator console share a backend but each needs design and testing.
| Engagement | Typical scope | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| Validation MVP | One category, buyer web app, seller portal, split payments through one provider, basic moderation. | 10 to 14 weeks |
| Production platform | Buyer mobile apps, seller onboarding with KYC, search, reviews, disputes, shipping integrations, operator console. | 4 to 7 months |
| Enterprise or multi-market | Multiple categories and countries, B2B features, seller advertising, AI catalogue enrichment, analytics. | 8 to 14 months, phased |
Revenue models we have built billing, reporting and growth loops for. Most products combine two or three.
A percentage of each transaction, often varying by category, seller tier or promotional programme.
Monthly plans for sellers that unlock lower commissions, more listings or premium tools.
Sellers pay for placement in search results, category pages and recommendations.
Warehousing, pick-pack and shipping services offered to sellers at a margin.
Paid memberships for free delivery or buyer protection, or service fees on each order.
The engineering disciplines every project in this sector draws on. Each has its own page with process, stack and FAQs.
Founders and product leaders on what it is like to build with Creuto.
“Their ability to translate complex operational needs into simple, usable tech was refreshing.”
Creuto's WMS improved inventory accuracy, reduced stock wastage, and expedited order dispatching. The system's traceability made audits less stressful and contributed to smoother warehouse operations. The team was structured, communicative, and responsive. Overall, the collaboration was successful.

Straight answers about multi-vendor marketplaces software projects. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
Ask our multi-vendor marketplaces teamIt depends on the marketplace model, the payment and payout complexity, the depth of seller tooling, catalogue scale, the number of apps and the markets you launch in. A single-category MVP is a materially smaller investment than a multi-market B2B and B2C platform. After discovery we provide a fixed-scope proposal with a clear breakdown.
A validation MVP in one category typically takes 10 to 14 weeks. A production platform with mobile apps, seller KYC, search, reviews and shipping integrations usually takes four to seven months. Multi-category or multi-market marketplaces are delivered in phases over eight to fourteen months.
It depends on where you operate. India's Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules require seller disclosures, grievance officers and clear return policies. The EU Digital Services Act requires trader traceability. UAE consumer law, GDPR, CCPA and PCI DSS also apply, and your payment provider sets seller KYC obligations. We map the full set in discovery.
We integrate marketplace payment products such as Stripe Connect, Adyen for Platforms or Razorpay Route. The buyer pays once, the provider splits funds between sellers and your commission, handles seller KYC and pays out on a schedule you configure, while our platform keeps a reconciled ledger of every order, refund and fee.
Marketplace app development usually means the buyer-facing mobile or web app. Marketplace software development covers the whole system: buyer apps, seller portal, operator console, payments and payouts, search, moderation and compliance. We deliver both as one connected platform.
Yes. We build B2B marketplaces with company accounts, account-based pricing, requests for quote, bulk and repeat ordering, purchase approvals, credit terms and invoicing that meets VAT, GST or ZATCA requirements.
Yes. Sellers get their own portal for listings, bulk upload or API integration, inventory, orders, returns and payouts, with moderation queues and approval workflows for your operations team to keep the catalogue within policy.
Yes. We often launch focused marketplace MVPs in one category and city or country, using a proven commerce engine and marketplace payment provider, then expand categories and markets once liquidity is proven.
Tell us what you are building. We will help you scope it, design it, and ship it, with a senior team accountable end to end.
