Capability case study
Marketplace Systems
Two-sided platforms that hold together at the edges.
- Multi-role auth
- Stripe Connect-style payments
- Messaging
- Moderation tooling
The challenge
Marketplaces fail at the edges: onboarding both sides, handling payments and disputes, keeping listings honest, and giving admins the controls to run it all. The build is less about pages and more about carefully designed roles and flows.
How we approach it
- 1
Define every role — buyer, provider, admin — and the exact journey each takes.
- 2
Design onboarding that gets providers live quickly without letting quality slip.
- 3
Model payments properly: commissions, payouts, refunds, and disputes from day one.
- 4
Build admin tooling early — the operations team is the third user of every marketplace.
- 5
Launch with one niche and one geography; expand from evidence.
What a typical build includes
- Multi-role platform with tailored dashboards per role
- Listings, search, and messaging between parties
- Payments with commission and payout logic
- Reviews and trust mechanics
- Full admin control panel
