Who our multi-vendor marketplace development is for
A marketplace makes sense when you can bring together sellers and buyers who would struggle to find each other alone.
B2B distributors and trade networks
Wholesalers can bring manufacturers and retailers onto one platform, with bulk pricing and credit terms set per seller. Buyers then order from many suppliers through a single account.
Regional and city marketplaces
Local platforms for groceries, home goods or artisan products depend on nearby sellers and reliable delivery areas. We build delivery zones per seller so shoppers only see what can actually reach them.
Niche category platforms
Specialist marketplaces for industrial spares, equipment rentals or handmade goods need attributes and search filters that general platforms do not offer.
Brands opening up to other sellers
An established single-brand store can add complementary third-party products without starting again. Vendors get their own dashboards while you keep control of the catalogue.
Decisions to settle before the build starts
These choices shape the dashboards and payment flow, so we work through them with you first.
Commission model
Choose between flat fees, rates that vary by category, or seller subscription plans, and decide whether commission also applies to shipping charges.
Payout timing
Sellers can be paid after delivery, after the return window closes or on a fixed cycle. The choice affects your cash flow and how refunds are recovered.
Who fulfils orders
Vendors may ship themselves, use your logistics account or send stock to your warehouse. Each option changes the order flow we build.
Invoicing and tax
Agree whether invoices are issued in the seller’s name or the platform’s. Tax treatment differs by country, so confirm the approach with your accountant before launch.
Seller standards
Set the documents you will verify, the listing quality you expect and what happens when a vendor breaks the rules.
Why work with Swift Digital 360 on your marketplace
Marketplace projects carry more moving parts than a store, and our way of working reflects that.
- Your business model stays confidential, with an NDA signed on request before you share commission plans or seller lists.
- A dedicated point of contact runs the project, so vendor rules agreed at the start are still applied correctly at launch.
- Weekly updates include a working demo of new vendor and admin features, which keeps your feedback specific.
- The build runs as a fixed-scope engagement, and later work such as new seller tools or performance tuning can move to a monthly retainer.
Pair the platform with UI/UX design for clearer buyer and seller journeys and eCommerce marketing to attract both sides after launch; we work with marketplace founders in India and across our served countries.
