    Payment Gateway

    I think a good model to follow would be the gaming marketplace G2A, who developed their own payment gateway (G2A Pay). They say they have something like 12m users which means the marketplace and gateway feed off each other.

    Great user experience & convenience to consumers made online marketplace most demanded business concept over the last few decades. If you are planning to start an online grocery store it’s using concept of “Marketplace” where user access vendor’s products which are not owned by you. It’s a bigger concept than regular ecommerce website as it could offer many advantages. The real time information of each product is presented to users in online marketplace.Consumers don’t like to use app from single retailer and looks for app offers broader product range than single store. This is the major appeal why you should consider opting for ecommerce marketplace instead of regular store.

    Nicely written article by exlcart321. I just wanted to add one point into this. Whenever you are considering having a successful multi-vendor marketplace business, you need to be very good in support. This is one area which needs to be very strong because you'll have a lot of issues raised no matter how good you are managing your business. Your support team need to take responsibility on the behalf of your vendors. Your first priority is to satisfy your customers if you are serious about making your business successful. And in this case you have to deal with two types of customers - one who are purchasing from your website and others are your vendors. You need to act a perfect mediator between both types of customers.

    A multi-vendor e-commerce site should be used for sending traffic to your main site and you should use every single one of them that doesn’t charge you anything more than a percent of the sales.

    But they should never take the place of your main site.

    The reason being is quite simple.

    1.) We are seeing more and more platforms banning people for political views that were voiced outside their platforms.

    2.) We have seen platforms hoard buyers data and then use that data to launch their own products.

    3.) Having your own platform allows you to offer services to your clients that go far beyond competing for whose got the best price.
