The Challenge

The client needed a robust marketplace platform to onboard hundreds of vendors, manage complex product catalogs, handle multi-currency payments, and deliver a fast, mobile-first shopping experience—all while competing with established players.

Our Solution

We built a microservices-based marketplace with separate vendor dashboards, buyer portals, and a centralized admin panel. Key features included automated vendor onboarding, dynamic pricing, real-time inventory sync, Stripe Connect for split payments, and an AI-powered product recommendation engine.

Split Payment System

Automated revenue splitting via Stripe Connect with instant payouts and dispute management.

AI-Powered Search

Elasticsearch integration with typo tolerance, filters, and personalized product recommendations.

Verified purchase reviews, vendor ratings, and automated review fraud detection.

Order updates, stock alerts, and promotional push notifications via Firebase.
