These serve different strategic goals. Selling on Amazon gives you immediate access to 300M+ active buyers but at the cost of data, brand control, and margins. Building your own marketplace creates a long-term platform asset with network effects. Many Scale D2C clients do both — using Amazon for acquisition and their own marketplace for retention.
A custom marketplace platform requires: vendor/seller management system, product catalog and search, commission and payment splitting engine, dispute resolution, reviews and ratings, buyer and seller dashboards, and marketing tools. We build these on headless frameworks for maximum flexibility.
We implement centralized inventory management using tools like Linnworks, ChannelAdvisor, or custom-built middleware — synchronizing stock levels across all marketplace channels and your own ecommerce store in real time to prevent overselling.
We work with Walmart, eBay, Etsy, Lazada, Shopee, Tmall, JD.com, Zalando, Otto, and regional marketplaces across Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East — giving us genuine international marketplace expertise.
