What Is an Online Marketplace?
An online marketplace is an eCommerce portal where multiple vendors come on a common portal to sell products or services. This eCommerce model is also called the multi-vendor eCommerce website.
Different vendors/sellers register on the multi-vendor site where they upload, display, and sell their products or services. The sellers pay a commission to the marketplace owner for using the readymade platform and its other services which may include customer support, logistics, etc. The portal and its policies, transactions, etc. are managed by the marketplace admin/operator.
How To Build A Marketplace:
Here’s a small tip: a prototype along with technical requirements will be useful when you start developing your product. So, it sometimes makes sense to hire a professional to create an online marketplace prototype of high-quality. However, you can also do this yourself. If you decide to do it by yourself, read our extensive guide on prototyping. It explains everything step-by-step so that you can successfully build your own prototype, even if you have no relevant background.
The prototype is the best way to present an idea to a co-founder or first employee, generate interest from your first users, and attract early investments.
This stage helps ensure that everyone correctly understands the goal and functionality of the product they build.
A minimum viable product, or the MVP, is a product with just enough features to attract early users. The main idea behind the MVP is to get the application into the hands of the target audience as soon as possible. After releasing the MVP, you will rely on user feedback and must be ready to make steady improvements.
Sometimes the MVP reveals a sad truth – that the assumptions you made during the market analysis are false, and the idea wasn’t as brilliant as it first appeared. You now have a chance to change the direction slightly and adjust the idea to meet the real needs of the market – or give up. In the latter case, early failure means cheap failure.
