Many sellers, one checkout, payouts that run themselves.

Sellers sign up, verify and list their products. Buyers check out once across many sellers; payments are split, your commission is kept and each seller is paid automatically.

The problem

“We want sellers to list on our platform — and payouts to run themselves.”

What is a multi-vendor marketplace?

A multi-vendor marketplace is an online store where many independent sellers list and sell their products. Buyers shop and pay once across sellers; the platform splits each payment, keeps its commission and pays every seller automatically. Sellers sign up with KYC, manage their own products, orders and shipping, and see their payouts in a dashboard.

Built around your workflow: this demo is a starting point — screens, fields, rules and integrations are made to fit your business.

Paying sellers

Before: Spreadsheets and transfersWith the system: Split at checkout

How the system works · how we measured

A built marketplace uses the payment gateway’s split settlements: each order’s money is divided by seller, the commission kept and payouts made on schedule.

01 · The problem

What problem does it solve?

A founder wants a marketplace for handmade crafts from 300 makers across India. A single-seller store would mean buying all the stock; spreadsheets of payouts would not scale past twenty makers.

Makers need to list products themselves, see their orders and get paid on time, while the platform keeps a commission and handles disputes.

  • Manual payouts

    Spreadsheets and bank transfers for every seller.

  • Onboarding friction

    Sellers set up by the platform team.

  • Split shipments

    One order, three sellers, three couriers.

  • Trust

    Unverified sellers and fake products.

02 · The solution

How does Multi-vendor Marketplace fix it?

  1. 01

    Self-serve sellers

    Sign-up with GST or PAN verification, bank details and a dashboard for products, stock and orders.

  2. 02

    One checkout

    Buyers pay once; the order is split by seller behind the scenes.

  3. 03

    Payouts that run themselves

    Payment-gateway split settlements: your commission kept, the rest paid to each seller on schedule.

    Quality and trust

What is a multi-vendor marketplace?

A multi-vendor marketplace is an online store where many independent sellers list and sell their products. Buyers shop and pay once across sellers; the platform splits each payment, keeps its commission and pays every seller automatically. Sellers sign up with KYC, manage their own products, orders and shipping, and see their payouts in a dashboard.

How are payments split between sellers?

Through the payment gateway’s split-settlement feature: each order is divided by seller, your commission is kept and the rest is paid on the schedule you set.

What about GST and TCS for marketplaces?

Marketplaces have specific obligations, such as collecting TCS on sellers’ sales. The platform records what’s needed; your CA confirms the setup.

Can sellers ship themselves?

Yes — sellers can ship with their own courier or use your courier partner, with labels from their dashboard.

Can it be B2B?

Yes — with price tiers, minimum order quantities, quotes and credit terms for business buyers.

How do you stop bad sellers?

KYC at sign-up, listing review, ratings, and the ability to pause a seller while a dispute is resolved.
