Ecommerce Consulting
Multi-vendor marketplace development, built for your niche.
A multi-vendor marketplace lets many independent sellers list and sell on one platform while you own the brand, the customers and the commission. WebKhabir plans and builds B2C, B2B and niche marketplaces on WooCommerce, Shopify, Laravel and headless stacks, with vendor onboarding, commission rules, split payouts and vendor dashboards.

You want to own a niche marketplace instead of paying fees on someone else's.
Vendors are managed on spreadsheets, email and WhatsApp.

FAQ
Questions brands ask us
Still have a question? for an instant reply.
How do I build a marketplace website like Amazon or Etsy?
Start with a clear niche and revenue model, then build vendor onboarding, product listings, split payments, order handling and reviews. Launch with a small set of quality vendors and add features as the marketplace grows.
Which platform is best for a multi-vendor marketplace?
Smaller marketplaces launch quickly on WooCommerce with Dokan or WCFM, or on Shopify with a marketplace app. Large or highly custom marketplaces are better built on Laravel or a headless stack. We recommend one after scoping your vendor numbers, catalogue size and features.
How does a multi-vendor marketplace make money?
Common models are a commission on each sale, monthly seller subscriptions, listing fees, featured placement and advertising. Most marketplaces combine two or three.
How are payments split between vendors and the marketplace?
Payment gateways such as Razorpay Route and Stripe Connect split each order automatically: the vendor's share goes to the vendor and your commission stays with you.
Can you build a B2B marketplace?
Yes. B2B marketplaces add features such as bulk and tiered pricing, request for quote, approved buyer accounts, credit terms and GST or VAT invoices.
What is the difference between a multi-vendor and a hyperlocal marketplace?
A multi-vendor marketplace sells products from many sellers to customers anywhere, shipped by courier. A hyperlocal marketplace connects customers with nearby stores for delivery within hours, with delivery zones and a driver app. See our hyperlocal marketplace development service.
