Buyer-Seller Marketplace Build. @marketplace-build

The Buyer-Seller Marketplace Build delivers a working two-sided marketplace: seller onboarding and profiles, listing management, buyer discovery, matching, and end-to-end transactions. The finish state is a production marketplace where real buyers and sellers can register, list, find each other, and complete a paid transaction — with moderation controls so you can operate it safely from day one.

Marketplaces fail on sequencing more than on code: supply tools, demand experience, and payment flows have to land in the right order. Scrums.com has shipped multi-vendor marketplace builds across 1,200+ delivered projects, and this sprint applies that pattern — model the marketplace first, then build the two sides against one shared transaction core.

Marketplace Data Model

Entities for sellers, buyers, listings, offers, orders, and reviews — modeled once, so every later feature builds on the same core instead of fighting it.

Discovery & Matching

Search, category browsing, filtering, and the matching logic that connects demand to supply — ranked so good listings surface first.

Transactions & Payouts

Checkout with a marketplace-capable payment provider: split payments, platform fees, refunds, and seller payout flows with clear transaction states.

Trust & Moderation

Listing approval queues, reporting, ratings and reviews, and admin tooling to suspend accounts or remove content — the controls an operator needs on day one.

1. Scope — Fix the marketplace model, the transaction flow, the payment provider, and the launch feature line.
2. Build — Build seller tools, buyer experience, and the transaction core in vertical slices, demoed as they land.
3. Handover — Production launch, admin and moderation training, and a prioritized backlog for post-launch growth features.

The Buyer-Seller Marketplace Build is a menu item on the Scrums.com delivery catalog, available at every plan tier. Add it to your plan backlog and your delivery team schedules it like any other item — scoped, tracked, and reported through the SEOP. See Delivery Plan Tiers.

Where is the scope boundary?

One marketplace vertical, one transaction flow, and one payment provider. Multi-currency, subscriptions for sellers, and native mobile apps are follow-on items, not part of the base build.

Which payment providers do you support?

Marketplace-capable providers such as Stripe Connect or your regional equivalent. Provider selection happens at scoping, driven by your geographies, payout needs, and compliance position.

What happens after launch?

Marketplaces are grown, not just shipped. Most teams continue with the Commerce Engineering Pod from the menu to iterate on liquidity, matching quality, and seller tooling.
