One connected foundation

A storefront is only the beginning.

Customer ordering, merchant operations, delivery, and administration need to work from the same order.

  • Customers

    One place to browse stores, place an order, and follow its progress.

  • Merchants

    Catalogs, hours, stock, and incoming orders for every store.

  • Drivers

    Order assignment, delivery workflows, and customer tracking.

  • Marketplace admin

    Stores, zones, fees, reporting, and payout configuration.

A marketplace needs a storefront, checkout, merchant workflow, delivery workflow, and administration that work together. Customer, merchant, and driver experiences connect to the payment and payout setup behind the marketplace.

The work continues after launch: customer ordering, merchant operations, delivery, and payments all need a connected foundation. Build your marketplace experience on top of that operating infrastructure.

From discovery to delivery

A connected experience,
from browse to delivery.

Give your customers a familiar way to explore local stores, place orders, and track delivery — on your branded website and iOS or Android apps.

  • Hours and stockKeep store availability and item availability aligned with operations.
  • Order handlingGive each merchant a workflow for incoming orders and preparation.

Choose the stock authority before automating fulfillment.

A multi-vendor order-management system needs an explicit source of truth for each merchant’s catalog and availability.

Assign stock ownership to Ordering.co or the merchant’s connected POS or inventory system. For each connector, agree whether updates are imported, exported, or exchanged, which products and locations they affect, and how a failed or delayed update is detected. Do not assume every integration has bidirectional stock sync.

For example, sell the last unit in the stock-owning system and verify the customer-facing availability before accepting another order. If the update fails, name the operator who pauses the product or service and reconciles the outstanding orders.

Native merchant order handling and configured driver assignment are different from external warehouse or POS fulfillment. Identify the event that starts each automated handoff, the status returned, and the person handling a rejection. Confirm these boundaries per connector rather than treating auto-fulfillment as one universal action.

Marketplace control

You set the rules
of your market.

Manage stores, zones, fees, and reporting from one operating console. Define the commercial model, then confirm how payments and payouts should work.

  1. Commission per store or categorySet commercial terms for your merchant relationships.
  2. Delivery and service feesAlign customer charges with service zones and order conditions.
  3. Featured placement and promotionsPlan how merchants are discovered and promoted.
  4. Merchant subscriptionsDiscuss recurring merchant participation as part of your business model.

Commercial choices are not a promise of native billing automation. Confirm product support, payment provider requirements, and current platform charges before setting public prices.

Frontend and custom workflows

Review open-source frontend code, custom implementation, and dedicated development scope. Bring unusual merchant, delivery, or customer workflows into the discussion early.

Discuss dedicated development for the integrations and custom features your market needs, with responsibilities and scope agreed for your project.

Bring your own cloud

Enterprise deployment can run in your AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, or Railway account, under one contract at a fixed rate for an agreed term. Discuss infrastructure, support, and service responsibilities with the team.

Enterprise cloud options use the same marketplace backend. Deployment, infrastructure, and service responsibilities are scoped separately.

Branding and customization do not imply ownership of the backend or platform source. Licensing, infrastructure, support, and custom work require their own scope.

Common questions

Questions before you launch.

What is a multi-vendor marketplace platform?

It connects several merchants to a customer ordering experience under one marketplace brand. Ordering.co provides the customer-facing storefront and apps, merchant tools, delivery workflows, and marketplace administration described on this page.

Can I use my own brand?

Yes. The marketplace supports a branded web and app experience. Confirm the white-label coverage for customer apps, driver app, receipts, and notifications in your selected package.

Can customers order from more than one business?

Yes. Customers can use a multi-business cart and a single checkout on the marketplace website and app, with delivery or pickup timing per order.

How do payments and payouts work?

Define customer payment methods, merchant relationships, fees, and payout requirements with the implementation team. Multi-card payment and payout configuration need to be checked against the chosen payment setup. The example above is illustrative, not a settlement guarantee.

Can I use my own drivers?

Yes. Work with your own fleet, third-party delivery providers, or a mixed model. Match dispatch configuration, service zones, provider coverage, and account requirements to your operation.

What can each merchant manage?

Merchant tools cover catalog, menu, hours, stock, and incoming orders. Check printer, KDS, and POS compatibility and any integration work required by each store.

Are merchant subscriptions and promotions included?

They are commercial models to discuss, not a universal promise of automated subscription billing or paid placement. Confirm the native tools, integrations, and custom work needed for your model.

What do I need before launch?

Prepare your brand and territory, merchant menus and hours, commercial terms, payment and payout setup, delivery coverage, and support responsibilities. For apps, confirm project configuration, build, testing, and publication requirements.

How much does it cost, and how long does launch take?

Review current pricing and discuss your marketplace scope. No fixed price or launch timeframe is promised here; the answer depends on your package, implementation, integrations, and launch readiness.

Can I customize the platform or use my own cloud?

Discuss API and webhook integrations, open-source frontend code, custom development, and Enterprise cloud options. These are separate scope decisions; branding does not grant backend ownership.
