FAQ

Marketplace questions

Answers for foundry owners, accountants and sales teams.

What is a multi-vendor marketplace?

A platform where many sellers list products or services and buyers purchase from them in one place, with the marketplace earning commission or fees.

How are vendor payouts handled?

Through payment gateways that support split settlements, so each vendor's share is paid out automatically after the agreed period.

How does GST work for marketplaces in India?

Marketplace operators usually collect TCS under GST on sellers' net taxable supplies and file returns for it, and income-tax TDS rules can also apply. We build the reports; your CA confirms current rates.

Can vendors manage their own products and orders?

Yes. Each vendor gets a dashboard for listings, stock, orders, returns and payouts.

How do you keep listings quality high?

Listings can be moderated before going live, with rules for images, descriptions and categories, plus ratings and reviews.

Can we charge different commissions?

Yes. Commission can vary by category, vendor, product or promotion, with listing or subscription fees too.

Custom build or marketplace platform?

Platforms speed up launch for standard models. Custom builds suit unusual models, services marketplaces or heavy scale. We compare both.

Do you build mobile apps too?

Yes. Buyer and vendor apps can run on the same back end.

How long does a marketplace take?

As an estimate, 14 to 30 weeks for a first release, depending on payments, vendor tools and apps.
