Marketplace App
Development India
We build two-sided marketplaces end-to-end — brand, product design, and the full engineering stack. Trust layer, payments, verification, and local SEO included. Not optional extras.
Trust & payments infrastructure
Razorpay Escrow for service marketplaces, Razorpay Route for split payouts. OTP-gated delivery, penny-drop bank verification, dispute flows — the layer that makes buyers and sellers trust each other.
Dual-role account model
One user, two modes — buyer and seller without separate logins. We've built and shipped this; we know where it goes wrong and how to avoid it.
Provider/seller verification
Document upload, manual approval flow, admin dashboard for ops. Not a checkbox — a real verification layer that keeps the marketplace to genuine participants.
Discovery & smart matching
Search with filters for budget, location, category, availability. Geolocation-scoped results. Designed for the specific supply-demand match your marketplace makes.
Programmatic local SEO
Every city, sector and category gets its own indexable URL. Hundreds of pages, zero manual content. The fastest way to own long-tail local search in your category.
WhatsApp & notification flows
WhatsApp Business API for booking confirmations, host-explorer communication, and status updates. 98%+ open rates vs SMS. DPDPA 2023 compliant.

Live Site ↗How long does a marketplace MVP take to build?
3–5 months for a production-ready MVP with payments, dual-role accounts, and basic trust infrastructure. A "fast" 6-week build without those layers will need a rebuild within a year.
What does it cost?
A proper marketplace with escrow or Route payments, verification flows, and programmatic SEO runs ₹8–18 lakh for the first version. We write a detailed breakdown in our blog post on marketplace costs — worth reading before you talk to any agency.
Do you build native apps?
We recommend starting with a well-built mobile-responsive web app (Next.js + Tailwind). It ships faster, costs less, and tells you whether the product works before you invest in native. We build native (React Native) once you have product-market fit.
Which cities do you work with?
We're based in Chandigarh / Mohali and have shipped products for the Tricity region. We work with founders remotely across India and internationally — most of our client communication is async over WhatsApp and video calls.
Can you take on equity instead of fees?
For early-stage startups we're open to a fee + equity conversation. Reach out and we'll discuss it.
