Multi-Vendor Marketplace
E-commerce platform with subscriptions and payment processing
The founders wanted to create a marketplace where businesses could set up branded storefronts, manage product catalogs, and accept payments — all within a single platform.
The Challenge
The founders wanted to create a marketplace where businesses could set up branded storefronts, manage product catalogs, and accept payments — all within a single platform. They needed subscription-based pricing for vendors, split payments for transactions, and mobile apps to capture the growing mobile commerce market.
Our Solution
We built the marketplace with Django REST Framework for the backend, React for the web storefront, and React Native for cross-platform mobile apps. Stripe Connect handles the complex payment flows — split payments between the platform and vendors, subscription billing for vendor plans, and automated payouts. Each vendor gets a customizable storefront with their own branding, product management, and order tracking.
The Results
Onboarded 500+ vendors within the first year of launch
Processes $2M+ in monthly transaction volume through Stripe Connect
Mobile apps account for 65% of total marketplace transactions
Technical Approach
Stripe Connect was essential for the multi-party payment model — vendors receive direct payouts while the platform takes its commission automatically. Django REST Framework's nested serializers handle the complex data relationships between vendors, products, variants, and orders. React Native was chosen for mobile to maintain a single team across all platforms, reducing ongoing maintenance overhead.
