Two-sided platforms connecting buyers and sellers, or clients and providers — with vendor onboarding, mobile money payments, commission handling, and the trust features marketplaces live or die on.
Marketplaces are hard: you're building for two sides at once, handling payments between strangers, taking a commission, and building enough trust for people to transact. We build marketplace platforms — product marketplaces, service marketplaces, rental platforms — with vendor management, split payments, commission handling, reviews, and the mobile money integration essential for the Ugandan market.
We define your two sides, how money flows, your commission model, and the trust mechanisms — the decisions that make or break a marketplace.
We architect vendor management and the payment/commission/payout flow, which is the trickiest and most important part.
We build the buyer and vendor experiences plus admin tooling, in phases with regular demos.
Split payments, mobile money, commission handling, plus reviews and dispute tools.
We help think through the launch — marketplaces face a chicken-and-egg problem, and the tech should support your go-to-market.
We iterate based on real buyer and vendor behavior as the marketplace grows.
Marketplace MVP: $15K–$35K. Fuller platform: $40K–$90K+. Retainer: $2K/month.

A focused marketplace MVP: $15,000–$35,000. A fuller platform with advanced vendor tools, split payments, and dispute handling: $40,000–$90,000+. Marketplaces are inherently more complex than single-vendor stores because you're building for two sides.
We build split-payment flows: the buyer pays, your commission is deducted automatically, and the vendor is paid out. We use mobile money and cards, with escrow-style holding where appropriate to protect both sides.
Yes. Automatic commission handling is core to marketplace monetization — we deduct your configured commission on each transaction and handle vendor payouts accordingly.
Through ratings and reviews, verified vendor profiles, secure payment handling, and dispute resolution tools. Trust is what makes a marketplace work, so these aren't optional extras.
That's the hardest part of any marketplace, and it's mostly a go-to-market challenge, not a technical one — but we build the platform to support strategies like seeding one side first, and we'll share what we've seen work.
Product marketplaces (multiple sellers), service/freelance marketplaces (clients and providers), and rental/booking marketplaces. We tailor the flows to your specific model.
A marketplace MVP: 4–7 months. Fuller platforms take longer. We usually launch with core buyer/seller/payment features and expand from there.
Yes. Retainers from $2,000/month for continued development, since marketplaces need ongoing iteration on both the buyer and seller sides as they grow.
