# Marketplace Builder

Build a marketplace website with AI that connects buyers and sellers. Describe who lists and who buys, and Meku generates a multi-vendor marketplace with vendor accounts, listings, and split payments built in.

Build a marketplace platform with seller onboarding, product or service listings, search, transactions, commission handling, and reviews.

## Types

- Product marketplaces
- Service marketplaces
- Rental marketplaces
- B2B marketplaces

## What Your Marketplace Includes

### Vendor Accounts and Onboarding
- Seller signup, profile pages, and a dashboard where each vendor manages their own listings and orders.

### Listings and Search
- Listing pages with images, pricing, and attributes, plus search and filters that work across every vendor.

### Split Payments and Commission
- Stripe Connect handling so buyer payments split between the vendor and your platform fee automatically.

### Reviews and Trust Signals
- Ratings and reviews on vendors and listings, with moderation controls in the admin view.

## Why Use Meku for a Marketplace

Meku builds marketplaces around your commission model and vendor rules, not a fixed plugin.

- React and Tailwind code you can read and edit

Multi-vendor marketplace development through an agency runs into the months and five figures.

## Who This Is For

For founders, operators, and developers building a two-sided platform.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What is a multi vendor marketplace?**  
A platform where many independent sellers list on one site, and the platform takes a fee on each transaction. Amazon and Etsy work this way.

**How do split payments work?**  
Stripe Connect divides each payment between the seller and your platform fee at the point of checkout.

**What does it cost to build a marketplace website?**  
Agency development usually runs into the tens of thousands. Building on Meku costs your plan price, starting with a free tier of 150 credits per month.

**Can vendors manage their own listings?**  
Yes. Each vendor gets an account and dashboard for listings, orders, and payouts.

**Where is marketplace data stored?**  
In your own Supabase database, so you control vendor, listing, and transaction records.

**Can I change the commission model later?**  
Yes. Update fees, categories, and vendor rules anytime using prompts.
