How do sellers receive payouts?

Sellers accumulate a balance from sales. On the payout schedule (weekly, biweekly), the system initiates transfers to the seller's connected bank account or PayPal via Stripe Connect or Wise.

Can buyers leave reviews for sellers?

Yes. After order delivery, buyers receive a review prompt for both the product and the seller. Reviews are published after a moderation window and affect the seller's overall rating.

How does the search and filter system work?

Products are indexed with their attributes, categories, and seller data. The search uses PostgreSQL full-text search with faceted filters for category, price range, rating, and location.

The Challenge

Why building a Marketplace from scratch is hard

Building a Online Marketplace Platform from scratch requires months of development time and significant engineering resources. Teams struggle to coordinate frontend, backend, database, and authentication while managing marketplace-specific business logic, integrations, and role-based access rules.

What's Included

Everything your Marketplace needs

ProjectCode generates a production-ready Marketplace with all the modules your team needs from day one.

Multi-vendor storefront with independent seller dashboards

Product listings with variants, attributes, and rich media

Buyer cart, checkout, and order management

Commission and payout management per seller

Dispute resolution and buyer protection workflow

Review and rating system for sellers and products

Admin catalog moderation and seller verification

Search with faceted filters and relevance ranking

Architecture

How it's built

The generated Marketplace follows production-grade architecture patterns.

React 18 + TypeScript frontend with role-based dashboards tailored for marketplace workflows

NestJS REST API with dedicated marketplace modules, DTOs, validators, and service layer

PostgreSQL relational schema with normalized tables for all marketplace entities

JWT + Google OAuth authentication with granular permission gates per role

Real-time Socket.IO events for live marketplace status updates and notifications

Managed hosting with one-click deploy, custom domain, and auto-SSL

Database

PostgreSQL schema designed for Marketplace

ProjectCode generates a normalized, indexed PostgreSQL schema with the right tables and relationships for your use case. You own the schema and can evolve it freely.

sellers (id, user_id, store_name, slug, logo, commission_rate, payout_method jsonb, status, verified_at)
products (id, seller_id, title, description, price, compare_price, variants jsonb, images jsonb, category_ids jsonb, status, inventory)
orders (id, buyer_id, status, items jsonb, seller_ids jsonb, subtotal, commission_total, shipping, total, created_at)
payouts (id, seller_id, period, gross_sales, commission, net_amount, status, paid_at)

FAQ

Common questions about building a Marketplace

Each seller has a configurable commission rate. When an order is placed, the platform automatically splits the payment, retaining the commission and crediting the seller's balance for the next payout cycle.
