Marketplace MVP development for two-sided platforms

Booking platforms, service marketplaces and listing sites need two sets of users working from day one. We build both sides, plus the payments in between.

What's included

  • Separate flows for buyers and sellers (or clients and providers)
  • Listings with photos, categories, search and filters
  • Bookings, availability and scheduling
  • Online payments, split payments and payouts
  • Reviews and ratings
  • Admin tools for approvals, disputes and reporting

Proof it works

SportCliq, a sports booking marketplace we built, connects players with venue owners for planning and booking. It is live at app.sportcliq.com.

How the 14 days work

  • Days 1–2, Discovery: we agree the one job your product must do, the scope and a fixed price.
  • Days 3–5, Design: you review a clickable prototype of every screen before code is written.
  • Days 6–12, Build: two sprints, each ending with a live staging link you can test.
  • Days 13–14, Launch: device testing, go-live on your domain and full code handover.

Price and timeline

Marketplaces usually fit Velocity ($560–$1,060 (about ₦870,000–₦1,645,000)) or Orbit ($1,190–$2,000 (about ₦1,845,000–₦3,100,000)), depending on payments and the number of screens. Split payments and payouts are itemised in the quote builder.

What you own at the end

You own the code repository, designs, database and every account (hosting, domain, payments, analytics) once the final payment is made. Every build includes 14 days of free bug fixes after launch and written handover notes so any developer can continue the work.

Frequently asked questions

Can you handle split payments for a marketplace?

Yes. We integrate split payments and payouts so each provider is paid automatically, with Paystack, Hydrogen, Bachs or Stripe.

How do I solve the chicken-and-egg problem?

We help you scope a first version that serves one side well, often with admin tools so you can seed supply manually while demand grows.

How long does a marketplace MVP take?

Usually 2–3 weeks, depending on payments, bookings and the number of screens.
