Marketplace operating model
More than multiple sellers. One accountable commerce operation.
The storefront is only the visible layer. A dependable marketplace also needs catalogue authority, seller permissions, commission evidence, payment reconciliation and clear ownership when an order does not follow the happy path.
01
Vendor control
Application, document review, approval, suspension and role-scoped seller access.
02
Catalogue governance
Shared categories, rich attribute groups, variants, media rules and administrator product approval.
03
Commercial rules
Global, category, vendor or product-level commission with traceable order and settlement calculations.
04
Order orchestration
Split orders by vendor while keeping one clear customer journey, status history and support view.
05
Payments & refunds
Gateway integration, webhook verification, reconciliation and refund states designed around the settlement model.
06
Shipping operations
Vendor or platform fulfilment, shipping zones, rate methods, labels, tracking and delivery exceptions.
07
Customer communication
Secure SMTP email plus purposeful WhatsApp notifications for orders, approvals, dispatch and support.
08
Ownership & operations
Self-hosted code, backups, monitoring, documentation and an upgrade path your business controls.
Architecture before platform
Choose the marketplace foundation around the business model.
We compare fit, extension dependence, customization cost, internal capability and long-term ownership before recommending a stack.
01
Laravel commerce foundation
Bagisto
A strong fit when Laravel ownership, custom business workflows and modular marketplace development matter.
02Enterprise commerce ecosystem
Magento
A strong fit for deep catalogue capability and mature commerce operations using a carefully selected licensed multivendor extension.
03Angular / Next.js / NestJS
Custom stack
The responsible choice when the marketplace model, interfaces or integrations are too distinctive for extension-led architecture.
Licensing clarity: Magento marketplace extensions and other premium modules are selected and licensed transparently. Their licence terms are separate from ownership of the custom code we deliver.
Ongoing platform work
Three marketplace paths, chosen for three different requirements.
These are active implementations, shared as current platform experience—not presented as completed case studies or final outcome claims.

igeet.comHow we work
Senior delivery with fewer unknowns.
A multivendor marketplace is not a normal online store with an extra seller form. It is an operating system for merchants, catalogue teams, customers, payments and fulfilment. We begin by defining who may sell, how products are approved, where commission is calculated, who receives money, how returns affect settlements and which team owns each exception. We then choose Bagisto, Magento with a licensed premium marketplace extension, or a custom application according to that operating model—not according to platform fashion.

Before we begin.
The answer depends on catalogue complexity, vendor operations, integrations, budget, internal skills and the amount of genuinely custom workflow. We document those trade-offs before recommending a platform.
Yes. Vendor permissions can cover profile management, products, inventory, orders, shipping and reports, while platform administrators retain approval and governance controls.
Commission can be configured globally or by vendor, category or product. We design the calculation, refund impact, reporting and settlement workflow together so finance can reconcile every amount.
Yes. We integrate secure payment gateways, verified webhooks, shipping methods and tracking, WhatsApp events and authenticated SMTP delivery with logs and failure handling.
Yes. The application is self-hosted and the custom source code, deployment documentation and operating knowledge are handed over. Third-party premium extensions remain subject to their vendor licences.
Yes. We design APIs, product data and operational boundaries so mobile applications, seller growth and new integrations can be added without rebuilding the commerce core.
