The stages of creating a custom marketplace

1

Project planning

We analyze the niche, business model and competitors. Defining the main functions of the marketplace: integration of payment gateways, logistics, and a rating system. We prioritize tasks to optimize the budget and deadlines.

2

Architecture design

We carry out UX interface design and create a platform diagram (structure, personal account) the marketplace. We are developing adaptive wireframes in Figma, taking into account scenarios for buyers, sellers and administrators. We approve the logic of the basket, filters, and analytics.

3

Design development

We visualize interfaces, for example, product cards with videos, notification systems. We are testing prototypes for ease of navigation and speed of order processing. We add branding elements and adapt the design to mobile devices.

4

Functional development

We are building a server part with support for high loads and a scalable database. We implement secure transactions, AI, filters, a multilingual interface and a content management panel.

5

Testing the marketplace

We perform automated and manual software testing. We check the operation of the platform at peak load. We are testing data security, payment correctness, and synchronization with delivery systems. We fix bugs and configure caching to speed up downloads.

6

Release and support

We are deploying the marketplace on the server and providing technical support. We set up activity monitoring, process the first orders, and connect chat support.

Why do I need to create a custom marketplace?

If a business needs a convenient online space where customers, partners, and suppliers can work, it's worth considering creating your own marketplace. It is a full-fledged platform that can be customized to suit business specifics, automate processes, and easily scale as it grows.
 

What is included in the functionality of a modern marketplace

  • Personalized accounts. Wish lists, order history, individual recommendations, chat with the seller, flexible roles (buyer, seller, administrator).
     

  • Intelligent search and filtering. Search by category, price, rating, availability, brands, and other parameters for quick and accurate selection.
     

  • Reliable and secure payments. Integration with payment gateways, support for different currencies, protection of personal data and transparency of transactions.
     

  • Analytics and automation for owners. Sales reports, conversion funnels, stock performance, user behavior, automatic order and inventory management.

We implement all these functions taking into account the needs of the business and the tasks of the client. For example, in the AfriCash project for Bayer, we have created a marketplace that unites farmers, traders and agricultural workers into a single digital ecosystem. The platform has helped automate agricultural trade and simplified access to goods, training, and loans.
