Multi-Vendor Marketplace Platform - Skyrocket Your eCommerce Business

 

 

What is a Multi-Vendor Marketplace Platform?

 

Multi-Vendor is an on premise e-commerce marketplace platform. It assists a vendor in marketing their products online, even doing business globally. On a multi-seller website, every seller has their own backend panel and a digital storefront—their very own micro store with all the necessary eCommerce business features. 

Our marketplace PHP software enables you to offer sellers payment plans and take commissions for their sales automatically. You also have the digital marketplace open-source code at your disposal to customize the platform the way you want: just hire developers and modify the platform precisely to your business needs.

Business to Business (B2B)

 

• A B2B marketplace is a website where businesses sell goods or services to one another, helping connect manufactures, retailers, vendors, and wholesalers.

• This creates new challenges in the form of delayed payments, more transaction options, and, consequently, the need for a highly robust platform.

• The basket quantities and transactional values tend to be higher, too, and they demand the most secure, stable set-up - something we specialize in.

 

Business to Customer (B2C)

 

• A B2C marketplace platform is the most common of the three systems and is something you’ve likely encountered before.

• It connects businesses to customers and allows customers to easily buy products or services.

• The sellers will want to gain great reviews, build trust, and inherit kudos from buyers while growing their business on your platform. They typically include features like stock management, delivery tracking, and payment gateways.

 

Customer to Customer (C2C)

 

• C2C marketplaces are built for customer-to-customer transactions, where individuals sell goods or services to one another, and not businesses.

• Etsy & eBay, which sell products or services through a classified or auction system are good examples of this.

• C2C marketplaces make their revenue from fees charged to sellers for listing items for sale, taking a commission per transaction, or adding promotional features to their listing ability.

Things to Keep in Mind While Developing a Marketplace

 

 

Developing a Multi-Vendor eCommerce marketplace involves a complex structure as there are a lot of things to consider. Due to its complexity, it is better to leave the development work to a professional and experienced mobile app development company. Let’s look at the things to keep in mind during the development process:

User Experience: There should be easy navigation of products, with a well-defined categorization and an appealing UI and visuals which will lead to a better user experience.

Originality: The concept of the app or the marketplace should be unique and should stand out in order to gain more users. It should not be a straight-out replica.

Set out Pros and Cons: Explore the options, look through all the other applications in the market and make a list of pros and cons. This will help you make a high-end finished product.

Communication Flow: Pre-decide the flow with the development team, employees, vendors, stakeholders, and customers.

Platform: Choose the right platform for app management, based on your budget. Select the best features to meet the future requirements of your users.

To improve the app, you need to provide a personalized shopping experience to the users. Make a strategy of allowing almost any vendor to sell anything using your marketplace. 

Apart from these basic factors, there are several technologies and tools which will make your app provide a satisfactory experience to the users. For everything to work out, you need to hire an app development company, experienced in Multi-Vendor eCommerce app development.

Key Aspects of Building a Multi-Vendor Ecommerce Platform

 

Research and Plan

 

• Before starting the development process, remember that it is necessary to do the market research and plan accordingly. Start the process by analyzing the customer’s behavior, their needs, and requirements and determine the user’s expectations in regards to the kind of services or products you are trying to sell. Gather feedback through market research, and then make a plan about budget, MVP, features, and technologies you need.

 

Choose the Operating System

 

• The next step is to determine whether you want a Native or Cross-Platform operating system. Determine your target audience and see which one they prefer the most. Understand their geolocation and see the location where android or iOS influences. And lastly, keep in mind that even though iOS apps take less time to develop, android apps have the broadcast reach.

 

Must-Have Features for the App

 

• The features and functionality of your app will determine its success. This means you need to make an app that is easily used and has all the features that a customer needs. Keep in mind the following features – Registration & Login, Push Notifications, Filters & Search Bars, Real-Time Order Tracking & History, Multiple Payment Options, Easy Checkout, Category Management, Offers & Discounts Management, and Feedback & Support.

• There are many other advanced features that you can consider like, AI, Machine Learning, Virtual Assistant, Chatbot, AR, Voice Command, etc.

 

UX/UI Design of the App

 

• App’s design and look is the first thing that attracts users and influences them to spend more time on the app. But if the design is attractive yet complicated and users will not understand or access the app easily, you will lose them. Therefore, make sure to make the app pleasing-looking with soothing colors, schemes, and visuals but make it easy to access. Focus on – App Prototype Design, UX/UI Design, and Color & Appearance.

 

Final Cost of App Development

 

• Carefully evaluate the cost of the entire process so you can determine a close estimation of the total cost. As the team includes many experts like a project manager, app developers, designers, etc. you need to consider their per hour or project hiring costs. Keep in mind that the final cost cannot fully be determined as the needs and requirements change during the development process.
