A marketplace is harder to build than a shop, because you’re building for three groups at once — buyers, sellers and yourself. JahaSoft has built three: a buy-and-sell portal and a global business directory for a UK client, and a coin dealing marketplace. We know where these go wrong.
Every component engineered for dual-sided liquidity, automated moderation, and reliable transactions.
01
Each seller gets their own dashboard, catalogue and orders; you control the platform, the fees and the payouts.
02
User-posted listings with location filtering, categories, paid promotions and verified seller badges.
03
Claimable business profiles, reviews, lead capture forms and category rankings.
04
Faceted filters, location radii, category drill-downs and spelling tolerance. Bad search kills marketplaces faster than bad design.
05
Review queues, spam detection, duplicate suppression and automated flagging so your team doesn’t drown in approvals.
06
Phone verification, identity badges, dispute handling and reporting mechanisms.
Most marketplaces fail not because the code was bad, but because they couldn’t solve the chicken-and-egg problem: buyers won’t come without sellers, and sellers won’t list without buyers.
Before you write a single line of scope, ask: which side do you already have? If you don’t have one side locked in before launch, budget more for acquisition than for development. We’ll tell you honestly whether your launch plan is realistic.

Solving supply or demand first through seed listings, direct outreach, or exclusivity deals before opening the platform.
We have built three marketplace and directory portals and supported them in live use — we know the daily headaches of spam and scam listings.
A balanced deployment where customer acquisition budgets match technical platform scope for sustainable traction.
Marketplace and directory platforms are custom builds requiring complex permissions, payout logic and searching. Prices depend on scope. Current starting prices are on our price list, and we confirm today’s figure on WhatsApp.
Straightforward answers about marketplace costs, custom code vs scripts, seller payouts, filtering, and our own live platforms.
