FAQ

How do multi-vendor marketplaces work?

At its core, a multi-vendor marketplace is a platform where vendors can come together to sell their products or services to a curated customer base. Platform solutions of this type (they are often called ā€œtwo-sided marketplacesā€) can offer ample choices to the customer and high volume growth to vendors. The best part about marketplaces is the network effect. This means more buyers lead to more sellers, leading to more buyers, and so on. Once such a system sets in, it creates a great advantage for a company.

What is a marketplace example?

In fact, there are now hundreds of marketplaces you could potentially leverage to reach new customers. The most well-known examples are:

  • Amazon
  • Walmart
  • eBay
  • Wish
  • Etsy
  • Alibaba
  • Google Express

There are also niche online marketplaces like Bonanza and Fruugo, fashion-focused marketplaces such as Zalando and Fullbeauty, bargain-focused marketplaces such as Tophatter, and the list goes on.

How much does it cost to create a custom marketplace?

It should be understood that calculations at the initial stage can never be precise. Basically, the cost of custom marketplace development is defined by such factors as the projectā€™s complexity and location of the marketplace development company. For example, if you decide to outsource your marketplace project to an IT company from Eastern Europe, the price for a fully-fledged solution will vary between $50Kā€“$250K. At the same time, a marketplace solution created by developers from Western Europe will cost you approximately $100Kā€“$500K. Finally, if you decide to turn to a US-based firm, be ready to spend no less than $250Kā€“$900K.
