E-commerce Marketplace Development
Marketplace development is a different discipline from building a single-vendor store. You need vendor onboarding, commission structures, split payments, dispute resolution, review moderation, and catalog standards — all while delivering a seamless shopping experience that hides the multi-vendor complexity from buyers. Anubiz Labs builds marketplace platforms that balance the needs of buyers, sellers, and operators.

Vendor Management and Onboarding
A marketplace is only as strong as its vendors. We build vendor onboarding flows that collect business information, verify identity, set up payment accounts, and configure shipping options in a streamlined process. Automated KYC checks, document upload, and approval workflows let you scale vendor acquisition without drowning your operations team in manual reviews.
Once onboarded, vendors get their own dashboard with product management, order fulfillment, inventory tracking, sales analytics, and payout history. The interface is intuitive enough for non-technical sellers while powerful enough for professional merchants managing thousands of listings.
Vendor tiers, performance scorecards, and automated demotions keep quality high as your marketplace grows. Top performers get featured placement; underperformers get warnings and eventual suspension.
Commission and Payment Splitting
Marketplace economics revolve around commissions. We build flexible commission engines that support flat-rate fees, percentage-based commissions, tiered structures based on volume, category-specific rates, and promotional overrides. Your finance team can adjust commission rules from the admin panel without engineering involvement.
Payment splitting is handled at the processor level using Stripe Connect, PayPal for Marketplaces, or equivalent services. When a buyer pays, funds are automatically split between the marketplace and the vendor according to the commission rules. Refunds reverse the split proportionally. We handle edge cases like partial refunds, multi-vendor carts, and delayed payouts for fraud prevention.
Unified Shopping Experience
Buyers should not have to think about which vendor fulfills their order. We build unified product search, single-cart checkout across multiple vendors, consolidated order tracking, and centralized returns processing. The marketplace feels like one store, even though dozens or hundreds of vendors operate behind the scenes.
Product deduplication, variant normalization, and catalog standardization keep the browsing experience clean. When multiple vendors sell the same product, we display a unified listing with a buy-box that surfaces the best offer based on price, shipping speed, and vendor rating — similar to how Amazon handles competing sellers.
Dispute Resolution and Trust
Every marketplace eventually deals with disputes — items not as described, late shipments, refund disagreements. We build a structured dispute resolution system with escalation tiers. Buyers and sellers can communicate through a built-in messaging system with evidence attachments. If they cannot resolve the issue, marketplace operators step in with tools to review order history, shipping tracking, and communication logs before making a binding decision.
Trust signals like verified seller badges, buyer reviews, transaction history, and response time metrics help buyers make informed purchasing decisions. We build these systems to be resistant to manipulation — fake review detection, velocity checks, and anomaly alerts protect your marketplace's credibility.
