FOR FOUNDERS & BUSINESSES

Have an Idea for a Marketplace? Let's Build It.

Whether you're starting a new marketplace business, adding a marketplace to an existing company, or exploring social commerce, we'll help you find the right agency to turn your idea into a working product.

Tell Us About Your Marketplace

No commitment. Just a conversation about what you're looking to build.

YOUR MARKETPLACE IDEA

Our Technology. The Right Agency.

Building a marketplace involves much more than creating a website. You need sellers, products, customers, payments, orders, inventory, commissions and potentially social and creator-commerce functionality — all working together. We've built the underlying technology to support all of this.

You bring the idea.

Tell us what you're trying to create, who it's for and how you want it to work.

We help define the technology.

We'll help you understand what's involved and how our marketplace platform can support your requirements.

We connect you with an agency.

Where there's a good fit, we'll introduce you to an agency from our partner network that can help design, build and launch your marketplace.

WHAT CAN YOU BUILD?

More Than Just a Marketplace

Our platform supports traditional marketplaces as well as social and creator-led commerce experiences. Create the type of marketplace your business needs.

Multi-Vendor Marketplaces

Connect multiple sellers with customers through a single marketplace. Support products, sellers, orders, payments, reviews, discounts and more.

Social Commerce

Build commerce around content and community with video, comments, referrals and rewards.

Creator Commerce

Enable creators to recommend products, generate sales and earn commissions through content and reviews.

B2B Marketplaces

Create marketplaces connecting businesses, suppliers, buyers or specialist providers.

Niche & Community Marketplaces

Build marketplaces around a specific industry, audience, location or community.

Existing Business + Marketplace

Add a marketplace model to an existing business rather than starting from scratch.

WHY USE OUR PLATFORM

Don't Build the Marketplace Infrastructure From Scratch

A marketplace is significantly more complex than a standard ecommerce website. Our platform already provides the underlying marketplace engine.

Commerce Infrastructure

Products, sellers, orders, cart, payments, reviews, discounts, customer accounts, saved payment methods and saved addresses.

Marketplace Infrastructure

Seller management, vendor administration, commission configuration, inventory synchronisation, marketplace analytics, webhooks and API access.

Social Commerce

Video, comments, referrals, rewards, creator commissions and video reviews.

This means your agency can spend more time building your marketplace rather than reinventing the technology underneath it.

SOCIAL COMMERCE

What If Your Marketplace Was More Than a Catalogue?

Modern commerce doesn't have to start with a search box. Your customers can discover products through video, recommendations, creators, reviews, community and purchase.

That's social commerce.

START SMALL

You Don't Need to Build Everything on Day One

One of the biggest mistakes marketplace founders make is trying to build the finished product before proving the business.

Your first version might only need

Customers, sellers, products, search, checkout, orders, payments and basic seller management.

Once you've proven demand, you can add

Video, creators, referrals, rewards, advanced analytics, AI-powered discovery, additional integrations and mobile experiences.

Build the marketplace your customers need today.
Keep the technology ready for tomorrow.
