## How it works

1. **Business model**

  We develop the essential features to operate with the first sellers.
3. **First sellers**

  We support onboarding the first sellers and adjust the platform based on real-world use.
4. **Growth**

  We continue adding features as the marketplace grows and brings on new sellers.

## When it makes sense

We want to expand our catalog without investing in our own inventory.

We have a network of partners who could sell through our platform.

We pay sellers manually, and this process does not scale.

Ready-made platforms do not support our commission rules.

## Frequently asked questions

 What is the difference between e-commerce and a marketplace?

In e-commerce, you sell your own products. In a marketplace, you provide a platform where third parties sell and earn a commission on each transaction.

 How does payment splitting work?

When the buyer pays, the payment gateway automatically splits the amount between the seller and the platform. The money goes directly to each party, with no manual payouts.

 How many sellers can the marketplace support?

There is no technical limit on the number of sellers. We design the architecture to scale horizontally: as demand grows, the infrastructure scales with it.

 Can I set different commissions by category or seller?

Yes. Commissions can vary by category, seller, or order value, with specific policies for product approvals, disputes, and SLAs.

 How much does it cost to develop a marketplace?

It depends on the business model, commission rules, and integrations. We define the investment during discovery and present it in the proposal.
