What is a Marketplace?

A typical marketplace model consists of buyers and sellers, with the platform as a means to connect both. Marketplaces do not generally own any supply, do not provide products or services directly, and (eventually) handle the money being exchanged. Simply put, a marketplace provides a platform where supply and demand efficiently find each other and transact successfully.

A marketplace has many moving parts, such as the user’s identity, the players’ reputation, payments, trust and safety, frictionless ness, and transparency.

A founder has to drive supply and demand and create opportunities that solve problems for both parties with efficiency, scalability, flexibility, and network effects.

Marketplaces are hard to build. During the initial phase of a marketplace, there is neither supply nor demand available. At Mindbowser, we work with entrepreneurs to not only guide the technology but also build the right business strategy with the support of our marketplace development services. Launching a marketplace requires building the two sides of the platform. On one side, you have to onboard the customers, and on the other, the vendors.

Cost to Develop Marketplace App Development

Creating a marketplace needs a team of designers, front-end and back-end developers, DevOps experts, technical leads, a tester, and an Agile Scrum Manager. A full team of 5-7 people with a burn rate of approximately 20K USD monthly can launch an MVP in around 6 months.  The exact cost and timeline may, of course, vary depending on the needs. 

You can take help from a mobile app development company and create a marketplace platform. Hiring freelance developers and utilizing open-source software or generic site builders is also a possibility but comes with its own set of risks related to scalability, availability, and reliability. 

A Design Sprint-like exercise can be done at the start to finalize the user experience and user flow and define priorities for the platform development phase. Also having a strong foundation built would mitigate the risk around scope creep, expectations, and delivery quality.

How Does a Marketplace Works?

A marketplace allows vendors to bring out their products and services in front of their targeted customers. The multi-vendor platform can offer ample choices to the customer and high volume growth to vendors. The best part about marketplaces is the network effect. This means more buyers lead to more sellers, leading to more buyers, and so on, the cycle continues. Once such a system sets in, it becomes hard to compete and it creates a great advantage for a company.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I build a marketplace app?

It depends on your situation. If you have the finances, writing programs from scratch is presumably the best method. Alternatively, employing the open-source solution, choosing a site builder, utilizing a no-code marketplace platform, creating a custom marketplace development with a group of no-code solutions, or building a marketplace on the lid of an API-enabled marketplace SaaS platform can be favorable. Foundationally, the steps remain the same- Start with an idea, design a prototype, test it, develop it and launch it.

How long does it take to develop a marketplace app?

It relies on your requirements and goals. According to the intermediate market costs, creating a marketplace app could follow a different track. Around 6 months’ time can be considered for MVP launch.

How do you build a B2B marketplace?

A B2B marketplace is a marketplace where both the buyers and sellers are businesses. Even Alibaba and Amazon have B2B aspects. B2B marketplace is not technically different from a conventional marketplace/ B2C marketplace. Hence the steps to building a B2B marketplace remain the same- Start with an idea, design a prototype, test it, develop it and launch it. 

What is marketplace MVP?

An MVP allows validating with the aimed audience. Unlike a completely-featured development that is made to serve all, MVP is a limited feature launch meant to test with real users with a mindset that post-launch changes would be required to improve the offering. A useful MVP should still be substantial enough to create value and not have any glitches. It should include only the significant features. The elements should be competent in solving the customers’ most critical issues.
