Marketplace development
Multi-vendor marketplace development
We build marketplaces where other people sell: multi-vendor stores, B2B procurement platforms and supplier networks. Two are live with full case studies, TatVivah Trends (3,000+ wedding-wear products from verified sellers) and MariBiz.ai (3,226+ maritime vendors across 121 categories). A third, Vashtara Heaven, runs multi-vendor dispatch on Shopify.
Most agencies that say "marketplace" mean a store with a vendor plugin. The difference shows up the first time a seller uploads a bad listing, two sellers end up in one order, or a buyer cannot tell a verified vendor from an unverified one. Those are the parts we design first.

What a marketplace build includes
Seller onboarding and verification, so buyers can trust who they are buying from. Both of our marketplaces had verification in from day one: verified-seller badges on TatVivah, vendor vetting on MariBiz.ai.
Seller self-service: listings, stock and orders managed from the seller's own login, with admin oversight for quality control. Buyer discovery built around how your buyers actually search. On TatVivah that is by occasion (haldi, mehendi, sangeet), not product type. On MariBiz.ai it is by port and service category.
The transaction flow your market needs. That might be a cart and checkout with Razorpay, as on TatVivah, or a request-for-quote engine with quote comparison and real-time messaging, as on MariBiz.ai.
Two marketplace models we have shipped
Retail marketplaces, where buyers check out from several sellers. TatVivah Trends is a Next.js multi-vendor marketplace for wedding ethnic wear, with verified sellers, a 3,000+ product catalogue, a 10-day returns policy built into the trust system, gift cards, wishlists and product comparison.
B2B procurement marketplaces, where buyers ask for quotes instead of adding to a cart. MariBiz.ai is built around an RFQ engine: shipowners describe what they need, verified vendors at the relevant port respond, and quotes are compared in one dashboard with messaging alongside.
What it costs
Marketplaces sit in the Platform band of our published rate card: ₹50,000–₹1,82,400, typically 4–14 weeks from content sign-off. The upper end is a build with authentication, seller and admin dashboards and payments, which is what most marketplaces need.
If you are not sure you need a full marketplace yet, a custom store with several suppliers is the Store band, ₹50,000–₹1,15,000, and can become a marketplace later. Payment terms are the same on every project: 50% advance to start · 50% at payment-gateway integration.
What we will ask you before quoting
How sellers get paid (through the platform, or directly), who owns returns when an order spans two sellers, and what a seller agrees to at sign-up. Each answer becomes screens and logic, so settling them early is what keeps a marketplace inside its delivery window.
Whether you already have sellers lined up. A marketplace needs both sides at launch. If you have buyers but not sellers, or the other way round, we will usually suggest launching a smaller first version and say so before you commit to the full build.

- How much does it cost to build a multi-vendor marketplace in India?
- On our rate card, a marketplace sits in the Platform band: ₹50,000–₹1,82,400, typically 4–14 weeks from content sign-off. Your written quote names one number after scoping.
- Have you built marketplaces before?
- Yes. TatVivah Trends (multi-vendor wedding-wear marketplace) and MariBiz.ai (B2B maritime procurement marketplace with 3,226+ vendors) are both live, with full case studies on our work page.
- Do you use a marketplace plugin or build custom?
- Neither of our full marketplaces runs on a plugin alone, because seller self-service, verification and RFQ flows fit badly into one. TatVivah Trends is a custom Next.js front end over WooCommerce and MariBiz.ai is fully custom. For a store with several suppliers but no seller logins, a platform like Shopify can be enough, as with Vashtara Heaven.
- Can the marketplace handle payments to sellers?
- That is a scoping decision: the platform can collect payment and pay sellers out, or sellers can be paid directly. The choice changes the payment integration and your obligations, so we settle it with you, and ideally your accountant, before quoting.
- Do you build B2B marketplaces as well as retail ones?
- Yes. MariBiz.ai is B2B: buyers send requests for quote to verified vendors instead of checking out from a cart, with quote comparison and messaging in one dashboard.
