How to Create a Marketplace: Build a Multi-Vendor Website
Interested in creating an online marketplace? You’re in the right place, and your timing is impeccable: Online marketplaces are rising in popularity and success. The top 100 global marketplaces have more than doubled their gross merchandise value (GMV) since 2018, with projections that they will reach $3.832 trillion in 2024.
From customer reach to revenue growth, starting a marketplace has proven upsides. But entrepreneurs should know that creating an online marketplace isn’t the same as launching any old ecommerce website. Multi-vendor marketplaces use a unique business model that revolves around one thing: solving a problem for both buyers and sellers.
This guide explores the fundamental steps to take to create a marketplace website from scratch.

What is an Online Marketplace?
An online marketplace is a platform that connects buyers and sellers. Marketplaces aren’t responsible for manufacturing products, fulfilling services, or owning inventory. Instead, they are a one-stop shop for buyers to access multiple sellers offering products or services.
Notable marketplaces include Amazon, Uber, Airbnb, Wayfair, Faire, StockX, and eBay.
The Most Important Features to Create a Marketplace Website
The marketplace model has several notable differences from first-party commerce. First-party commerce refers to companies selling and fulfilling their products or services.
Marketplaces, on the other hand, engage in “third-party commerce.” While first-party commerce has one seller, marketplaces have many sellers. A marketplace’s primary function is to connect buyers and sellers, not to manufacture and distribute products.
Multi-vendor marketplaces have three distinct features:
1. Marketplace Vendor management
Marketplaces don’t own their inventory. Instead, marketplaces rely on vendors for inventory and, in many cases, shipping, and fulfillment.
As a result, vendor management is a significant part of the marketplace merchant/operator’s job. Maintaining consistency and quality across tens or hundreds of vendors requires a high level of governance. Marketplace operators achieve this by:
- Distributing service level agreements that govern vendors
- Setting parameters for product information and presentation
- Providing vendors with a portal to manage their shops
2. Vendor payouts
The ability to take payments from customers is a common denominator across all ecommerce websites. But when it comes to marketplaces, you also need to be able to pay out your suppliers. This requires different financial technology. Timely vendor payouts are critical to a healthy supply. When vendors can trust that they’ll be paid the right amount and paid on time, they’re more likely to keep selling on the marketplace.
Calculating and orchestrating payouts can quickly overwhelm manual accounting methods as marketplaces grow. The best way to manage payouts is by augmenting the process with fintech purpose-built for multi-vendor marketplaces.
3. Multi-vendor checkout
Unlike first-party commerce, a single marketplace transaction can contain items from several vendors. Buyers expect to have one shopping cart and checkout experience for everything in their cart – regardless of who the sellers are. As a marketplace operator, you need to be able to break down the order into separate orders for your sellers on the backend, including notifying the vendor of the sale, calculating the vendor payout, and communicating shipping details back to the buyer.
Marketplaces manage these logistical challenges by adopting technology that can trigger alerts between systems for point of sale, inventory, shipping, and email automation.
How to Create an Online Marketplace: A 10-Step Guide
Step 1: Define your marketplace idea and vision
Your marketplace vision sets the foundation for your business. In short, it should establish the “why” of your marketplace. Be clear about your marketplace vision before conceptualizing your minimum viable product (MVP).
To define your vision, answer the following questions:
What kind of marketplace entrepreneur are you?
There are three types of entrepreneurs, according to Emyth Revisited. First, there’s a true entrepreneur, a visionary who’s always chasing an idea. Second, there’s a manager driven by data, efficiency, and getting a product to market. Third is a technician with a preexisting understanding of the domain, products, and consumer. Determine which one you are to understand your strengths — and then hire for your weaknesses.
What’s your why?
Are you building to sell or building to scale? Understanding why you’re building your marketplace will help you determine the business’s growth trajectory and how you allocate your budget. If you want to IPO, you’ve got to be in it for the long haul. If you’re building your business for cash flow, you want to ramp up the marketplace in as few as five years.
Solving problems for buyers and sellers
Since marketplaces are two-sided, operators have to solve an appealing problem for both supply and demand. Your marketplace might provide clear value to one side. But appealing to the other side might require creativity. For example, if a marketplace is an obvious sales solution for suppliers, adding a “buy now, pay later” feature could establish product-market fit with buyers.
Timing
You can have an amazing idea, but if the timing is wrong, success will be very difficult to achieve.
Take Instacart, the grocery delivery marketplace, for example. In 2019 they were losing $25 million every month. At the time, grocery delivery wasn’t commonplace for consumers, and many felt attached to doing their own grocery shopping. But when the pandemic hit the next year, suddenly grocery delivery became essential. In April 2020, they made a $10 million dollar profit. By the end of 2020, they had $350 billion in grocery sales.
This is an extreme example of the impact of timing— after all, it’s not every day that a pandemic sweeps the globe. But, the role of timing in every business is undeniable. This isn’t always something that’s easy to predict, but tools like user interviews and keeping a pulse on the industry at large can help navigate timing.
Competitor analysis
Identify the direct marketplace competitors and non-marketplace competitors in your space. Get real about what they do well — and determine how your marketplace can do it better. There are ample opportunities to modernize traditional industries with the marketplace model because it is relatively young.

Step 2: Choose your marketplace business model
Your marketplace business model determines how you will earn revenue. Importantly, your revenue model identifies which side of your marketplace will pay: the buyers or the sellers.
There are many marketplace revenue models to choose from, but the most popular are:
Commission model marketplace
The marketplace charges a take-rate on the sale of goods, typically from the seller. Another way to charge commission is by a fixed fee on each transaction. Example: Amazon.
Subscription model marketplace
Buyers or sellers get access to the marketplace by paying a set fee on a recurring basis. Example: UpSplash.
Listing fee model marketplace
The marketplace charges sellers a fee to list a product or service. The seller pays regardless of whether the listing sells. Example: eBay.
Determining who pays (Buyer or sellers)
Typically, the side that pays is the side more incentivized to pay. For example, if the marketplace operates in a demand-constrained market, there is more supply than demand. Since demand is rare, the marketplace charges sellers because they offer access to demand. The opposite is also true. The buyer should pay if there is a shortage of supply.

Marketplaces use different revenue models than first-party commerce websites. Here’s what to consider when choosing the best model for your marketplace. Read the article →
Beyond the business model, founders also need to decide on their business entity. It affects liability protection, taxes, and your ability to raise capital. According to Arjun Mahadevan, CEO of doola, two of the best structures to consider for a marketplace are are a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or a C-Corporation.
An LLC is a flexible option that offers personal liability protection and simpler tax reporting, making it ideal for smaller teams or early-stage marketplaces. On the other hand, a C-Corporation is typically better for businesses that plan to scale quickly or attract venture capital, as it allows for stock issuance and is generally more attractive to investors. Both of these structures have distinct advantages depending on your business goals.
Step 3: Determine how to finance your marketplace
There are several ways to finance your marketplace, from bootstrapping to debt-to-equity investments.
Bootstrapping your marketplace build
Bootstrapping refers to using your savings or leveraging assets to fund your business— meaning you get no outside investment. While this means you take on more of the risk, it also means more freedom.
If you’re in a position where you need funding from other sources, you have two main options: Debt and equity.
Create a marketplace with debt financing
Debt refers to bank loans, lines of credit, and funding that must be paid back with interest. Note that debt is rarely an option for businesses just starting out because the riskier you look to the bank, the higher your interest rate will be.
Create a marketplace with equity financing
Equity financing refers to selling a small portion of your business (also known as ‘shares’) to investors to raise capital. Equity funds don’t need to be repaid, nor do they accumulate interest. Investors only make money when you turn a profit.
Marketplace investors
While venture capitalists are often the first types of investor to come to mind, there are many types of investors you can seek marketplace funding, including:
- Friends and family
Friends and family know who you are, believe in your abilities, and may provide enough capital to get you started. Just ensure that you outline the risks to them — they’re not professional investors. - Angel investors
Angel investors are private investors interested in your industry, supporting small businesses, or helping founders. - Institutional investors (venture capitalists)
Institutional investors are professional investors who invest using funds from outside sources with profit top of mind. - Strategics (corporate investors)
Strategics are corporations that will invest in maturing businesses, often with the intent of eventually buying them.
While it takes more work to become a venture-backable marketplace, the effort can be worth the reward.
When it comes to choosing which route is best, it depends on the type of marketplace you’re starting, your stage, and the resources available to you.

Step 4: Develop user personas for sellers and buyers
Successful marketplaces create an experience that caters to user needs. To focus your marketplace on users, start by understanding sellers' and buyers’ motivations, pain points, needs, and expectations.
Create ideal customer profiles (ICPs) for your marketplace
Your ideal customer profile (ICP) refers to the buyers and sellers that perfectly fit your marketplace. While your ICP might change after launch, it’s important to take the time to outline who you believe you’re making the marketplace for.
Understanding buyer and seller motivations
Your buyers and sellers will likely encompass more than one persona. Lay out who they are, including demographics, psychographics, behavioral traits, and preferences.
Acquiring this information will require some effort. Be prepared to set up informational interviews, get involved on message boards, and ask questions in community groups.
Segmenting target markets and prioritizing user groups
You'll likely notice competing preferences once you’ve created personas for your ideal sellers and buyers. Instead of trying to go after everyone at once, split your users into tiers and prioritize them one at a time. How do you decide who to target first? For the initial iteration of the marketplace, consider the following:
Lowest friction to join
Who is marketplace participation a no-brainer for? You want to build the marketplace for those most likely to use it.
Willing to tolerate bugs
The users you’re building for should be willing to participate in the marketplace’s development — warts and all.
Incentivized to pay for the platform
Develop the marketplace for users so fed up with their problem that they’ll pay to fix it.
Advocacy potential
Users who cannot live without your product will most likely advocate for it and help generate buzz.

Step 5: Outline the marketplace’s minimum viable product
A minimum viable product (MVP) represents several firsts: the first step in building the marketplace of your dreams, the first step towards validating your marketplace idea, and the first iteration of your marketplace. So, what is an MVP exactly?
An MVP is the most basic version of your marketplace that you can launch while delivering value to your users. It contains only essential functionality and should be geared toward testing. The goal of an MVP is to validate your assumptions and facilitate a quick go-to-market.
How to create your marketplace MVP roadmap
Once you’ve identified your high-priority ICP personas, you can outline the product requirements for your MVP.
1. Map out your MVP functionalities
Start by listing your non-negotiables. An MVP should only contain the functionality essential to relieving your ICPs’ pain points—nothing more, nothing less. This helps facilitate a faster go-to-market so you can start the feedback loop.
Use our MVP roadmap template to start this process.
2. Work backwards
Organize functionality into now, next, and later. Save big ideas for later versions. For example, if you aim to offer “pay by crypto,” start with credit card processing and mobile payments and work up to crypto in the future.
3. Don’t be reactive
Just because a competitor starts offering same-day delivery doesn’t mean you have to. Stick with nailing the basics. There’s no rush to add on bells and whistles — but there is a rush to validate your core concept.

Step 6: Build marketplace supply
As a marketplace, you have two customers: buyers and suppliers. Supply is typically the hardest part of the marketplace to get right. Not only do you have to find them, but you must also convince them to join, onboard them, vet their products, and keep them engaged.
Finding and engaging marketplace suppliers
Ultimately, you want suppliers to come to you. But early on, you’ll likely have to seek them out.
- Tap into your network: To find vendors for your marketplace, look to your extended network. Seek out connections on your social channels. Reach out to past colleagues to facilitate warm introductions. Approach vendors selling on similar marketplaces.
- Join community groups: Reddit, Facebook Groups, and other online forums can be hotbeds of potential suppliers. You can engage these forums to spread the word about your marketplace while e-meeting prospective suppliers and learning more about their needs.
- Industry events: If you have the resources, consider participating in conferences and tradeshows. You want to be wherever your target seller engages, especially if they’re in an environment conducive to innovation or discussions about their industry.
Offering value to marketplace suppliers
Once you’ve found your suppliers, your job becomes to get vendors to join your marketplace. Initially, it’s unlikely you’ll have any proof of ROI. To counteract this, remove friction to join and give sellers success as quickly as possible.
Some strategies to do this include:
Giving them a “bird in hand”
Build out “ghost supply.” Ghost supply is live marketplace listings without an assigned supplier. You can offer prospective suppliers any ghost supply sales in exchange for signing up as a vendor.
Claim your listing
Create the supplier's listing. Show them what joining would be like and how easy it would be to make revenue.
Offer them marketing
Cover the cost of advertising the supplier’s listing on your marketplace. This two-birds-one-stone approach generates sales for the prospective supplier while promoting your marketplace.

Step 7: Create a customer experience for your marketplace buyers
Before you launch your marketplace, it’s critical to think through the customer experience you want to provide. While the details are different for every marketplace, one thing is unanimously true: all marketplace customer experiences must prioritize adding motivation and removing friction in the buyer’s journey.
Below are some things to think about as you define your customer experience.
Designing an intuitive marketplace user experience
Your home page is the only thing 100% of your customers see. Ensure its look, feel, and copy speak directly to your users. From a technical perspective, your website should load quickly, be easy to navigate, and present relevant search results quickly.
Optimizing checkout
Checkout is the highest friction point in the buyer journey. The fewer clicks between “add to cart” and “pay now,” the better. Ensure you offer preferred payment methods, like credit card, debit, or buy now, pay later, and don’t feel you have to reinvent the wheel. Use a payment provider that is both pre-built and familiar to customers, like Stripe.
Marketplace searchability and filtering
Since marketplaces offer more listings than first-party commerce sites, search is a critical function. To get it right, you need to understand what’s important to your users.
Take the marketplace Tall Size for example. As a marketplace for tall women, garment length is very important to their customers. Co-founder, Nicole Murphy, understood this when designing the stores’ UX. More than just the inseam of jeans or sleeve length, she knew that it was critical for customers to be able to search by non-standard measurements, like the width of the shoulders or the torso length on a one-piece.
Understanding your customers’ behaviors can help create filter and search options that define the buying experience for your customers.
Create your marketplace’s customer support
Give customers a way to contact you. Email customer service and an FAQ webpage may be enough when you’re starting out. Over time, you can scale your customer service channels to include chatbots and phone support.

Step 8: Choose your marketplace technology
There are so many moving parts to a marketplace. It’s a task that’s impossible to perfect without the right technology stack to keep operations efficient and purchases flowing.
Marketplaces are more complex than single-vendor ecommerce stores and, therefore, require more advanced technology. Below are some types of software to consider.
A marketplace platform
A marketplace platform is the foundation of your marketplace. It’s your command center for operations and is responsible for routing information between adjacent fintech and logistics systems. Your marketplace platform sets the groundwork for the seller experience and the products on your website.
Choosing a marketplace platform is not a decision to take lightly. The platform you choose will impact budgeting, scalability, and operations, either imposing limitations or providing opportunities as your marketplace develops.
The alternative to using a marketplace platform is to custom-build your marketplace.
Fintech for marketplaces
When it comes to finances, it’s critical to choose a reputable technology. Marketplaces may require several solutions to fulfill the financial side of marketplace operations, which includes payments, payouts, and taxes.
When it comes to payments, make sure you choose an established, PCI-certified software that offers at least basic payment options, like debit, credit, and mobile checkout.
Remember: receiving funds is only one side of marketplace payments. Be sure to also choose a payment processor that automates seller payout processes, including commission calculations, batched payouts, and pushing out funds to sellers. For example, Stripe Connect.
Taxes are also an important peice to consider when choosing your technology. As the merchants of record, marketplaces are responsible for remitting taxes. In many cases, you’ll have to remit taxes both in your operating jurisdiction and in your sellers’ operating jurisdiction. Look for marketplace-specific tax software that determines taxability, applies accurate rates, and streamlines regional compliance.
Logistics technology for marketplaces
Logistics technology encompasses the tools that manage the movement of goods from sellers to buyers. When shopping online, buyers expect fast and reliable delivery experiences, and technology plays a big role in powering that. Some logistics technology to consider, depending on your marketplace, include:
- Warehouse management systems: For marketplaces that hold inventory, warehouse management systems communicate sales to warehouses and track fulfillment.
- Order management systems: Order management systems centralize order processing, notify sellers of orders, and communicate seller tracking information to buyers.
- Customer relationship management (CRM): CRMs centralize customer information from sellers and buyers and automate communication between parties at different times in the marketplace journey. CRMs go beyond logistics, as they contain everything from contact information to buying preferences and purchasing habits. Some marketplace platforms will also act as a CRM.
Product information management
PIMs bring all marketplace product information together in one location and set standards for presenting that information. PIMs ensure buyers are directed to the right product and see consistent information.
PIMs are responsible for:
- Data collection
- Organization
- Enrichment
- Categorization
- Normalization
The software you need will depend on many factors, including the type of marketplace you’re building, your resources, your budget, and your need for scalability. We’ve compiled a list of our favorite marketplace software here.
Should you build or buy your marketplace technology?
The first technology challenge marketplace founders will face is the buy vs. build dilemma. To start, ask yourself the following questions:
- Do you currently have a viable marketplace? If not, how soon do you want to get one running (and how soon will your money run out?)
- Have you validated your business model? If not, are you willing to invest in a platform you may have to scrap?
- Where exactly do you need to differentiate? Does your back-end experience need to be unique? Or just your front-end experience?
Marketplace software: build vs. buy
Building is highly customizable, but it’s also expensive and time-consuming. If you build a marketplace with a development company, you must continually invest and maintain any customization you make; it’s an ongoing expense.
Pre-built marketplace platforms, on the other hand, are more rigid, but they’re built based on market discovery and industry trends. They already know the market and the tools operators need to get started. Buying allows you to focus on testing and validating the marketplace instead of being consumed by the technology.

Step 9: Implement trust-building strategies
Trust is the cornerstone of any marketplace. Building trust from the start is much easier than rebuilding it after losing it. To earn trust, proactively bake it into your marketplace’s systems by:
Verifying vendors and establishing standards
Ensure your vendors are who they say they are by performing an identity check or interviewing them as you would any employee.
Also make sure to have vendors sign service-level agreements that set out the terms of service. These contracts set your expectations in stone and help ensure consistent service as your vendor roster expands.
Using social proof
User reviews are self-policing. Good sellers are rewarded by buyer confidence, and bad sellers are weeded out by lack of sales.
Establishing clear and effective communication
Establish buyer expectations by having clear product descriptions and accurate details. The goal is that the products delivered match the products advertised. Frequent touchpoints, like “order received” and “order dispatched,” assures buyers they’re getting what they paid for.
Protecting against fraud
Protect marketplace users by using a payment processor that is PCI or 3DS certified. Additional fraud protections are escrow, two-factor authentication, know your vendor (KYC), and anti-money laundering (AML) checks.

Step 10: Market your marketplace website
Once you’ve launched your marketplace, how will people know to visit it? It’s easy to forget about marketing when you’re stuck in the trenches of creating your marketplace.
Here are the marketing strategies we recommend using when you’re getting started.
Leverage existing communities and networks
Start by spreading the word about your marketplace to people interested in your success: your personal and professional network. Join conversations in community forums, participate in groups where users engage, and attend networking events to tell your story so prospects can follow your success.
Set up your social media
Prioritize the channels where your users are active. It’s better to create consistent, high-value content on a few channels than be present on all channels but with half-baked posts.
Develop engaging content marketing
The goal with content is to become an authority on your marketplace’s area of focus. To do this, go back to your ICP personas. Center your content — social media posts, blog posts, podcast episodes, videos, Reddit responses — around solving their pain points.
Optimize for marketplace SEO
Search engine optimization is the process of capturing organic search traffic by improving your website. SEO ensures that when someone searches for “1960s credenza,” the search engine lists your vintage furniture marketplace at the top of the results.
Basic SEO includes:
- Conducting keyword research
- Using keywords in your website headings, subheadings, and product descriptions
- Filling out meta descriptions on your website backend
- Customizing URLs
- Completing all the steps in our marketplace SEO checklist
Collaborate with partners
Adjacent companies and suppliers with the same ICP are the perfect partners for collaboration. Work together on promotions, blog posts, webinars, referral programs, and other marketing campaigns that reach your combined audiences. You can consider paid partnerships with influencers or affiliates if your budget allows.
Create buzz for your marketplace with public relations (PR)
PR refers to strategic communications that engage the public and create buzz. When launching your marketplace, consider announcing your marketplace launch in a press release and performing media outreach by pitching relevant media publications. (Need help writing a pitch? Start with this template)

Overcoming the Challenges of Creating an Online Marketplace
Similar to starting any business venture, creating a marketplace comes with challenges. The more aware you are of these challenges, the better prepared you’ll be.
Managing marketplace costs
80% of businesses that launch a marketplace incur unexpectedly high costs during their build. Unanticipated costs are the number one killer of start-up marketplaces. Entrepreneurs typically lose control of costs when they custom-build a marketplace platform or modify a system designed for first-party ecommerce. Custom builds and modifications require the constant attention of developers to deal with integrations, custom features, upgrades, and updates.
Balancing marketplace supply and demand
On one hand, marketplaces oversaturated with competition will turn sellers off. On the other, marketplaces with insufficient supply are unattractive to buyers. Maintaining the delicate balance between buyers and sellers is critical to keeping the marketplace active, which means operators must be 1. armed with the metrics to see which way the tides are turning and 2. agile enough to solve for the side that requires attention.

Maintaining focus on the core mission
On a quest to cover a large scope of aspirations, it’s easy to lose sight of the details that make a marketplace experience positive. An example would be over-automating processes in an industry that values in-person interaction. It’s easy to get excited — and then distracted — by visions of grandeur for your marketplace. Your challenge is staying true to your core: solving a problem for buyers and sellers.
Watch Operation Marketplace: Finding Your Focus with Adam Gellert
Addressing technical challenges
The foundation of every multi-vendor marketplace is a technology stack that runs like a well-oiled machine. Managing technology integrations is challenging enough when dealing with numerous applications of your own. But, in many cases, marketplace platforms must also integrate with vendor technology.
Finding product-market fit
Many entrepreneurs pursue a marketplace concept only to find that they cannot validate their concept, and they must pivot to meet the market’s needs. Entrepreneurs get into trouble when they get tunnel vision on a concept that misses the mark. The key is to iterate until you’ve found an undeniable product-market fit. Be confident knowing that overhauling an MVP is a plot twist in many successful origin stories.
