Can we start with a small vendor set?
Yes, and we usually recommend it. Early increments focus on onboarding and money movement with a handful of vendors before the buying experience is scaled.

A marketplace is a different business to a store
Running a marketplace means running two products at once: the buying experience, and the operating system your vendors work in. Most marketplace projects fail on the second one — onboarding, data quality, order routing and money movement.
We build both sides, and we build the money path carefully: order splitting, commission rules, settlement timing, refunds and reconciliation are designed before the buying experience is polished.
What a marketplace build includes
Vendor onboarding and verification
Application, verification, contracting and activation flows, with staged permissions as a vendor progresses.
Catalogue governance
Vendor-submitted products, attribute standards, moderation queues and duplicate handling so the catalogue stays searchable.
Order routing and multi-vendor carts
Splitting a single buyer order across vendors, with per-vendor fulfilment, shipping rules and status aggregation.
Split settlement and commissions
Commission models, payout scheduling, adjustments, refunds and reconcilable financial records.
Vendor-side analytics and tooling
Sales, fulfilment and performance reporting, plus the day-to-day tools vendors need to operate without contacting support.
Trust, disputes and quality controls
Performance thresholds, dispute handling and policy enforcement built into the operating model.

Frequently asked questions
How is a B2B marketplace different from a B2B store?
In a store you own the inventory and the commercial relationship. In a marketplace you operate the platform: multiple vendors sell, orders split, and settlement, governance and vendor tooling become core system requirements.
