Build the matching engine, the trust layer, and the payouts that make a marketplace work.
Two-sided platforms, real-time matching, escrow + payouts, ratings + disputes. We've shipped the systems that make a marketplace credible from the first listing. Built end to end, and you own the code.
The patterns we ship for marketplace teams
Marketplaces are not CRUD apps. The hard parts are real-time, financial, and emotional all at once. Here is the stack we've shipped before.
Real-time matching
Search, ranking, auction, or bid-style matching with WebSocket fan-out. Latency is the product.
Escrow + payouts
Stripe Connect, Adyen MarketPay, or Mollie Connect. Funds held until the work is done, split correctly, payouts on schedule.
Ratings + disputes
Mutual rating windows, dispute workflows, evidence collection, and the operator queue that resolves them.
Trust + safety
Identity verification, fraud signals, marketplace integrity rules, and the moderation surfaces the safety team works from.
Affiliate + referrals
Multi-tier referrals, attribution, payout to the right side. The growth loop without the leaky math.
Operator console
Listings, users, payouts, disputes, manual override, audit log. Everything the team needs to keep the platform honest.
Recent work, built and shipped.
Four featured projects Stacklane delivered end to end. Engineering, design, and brand on one cadence, with no internal hires required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you build the matching engine that connects supply and demand?
Yes. We build real-time matching (search, ranking, availability) tuned to how your two sides actually behave. You own the code, so the logic that makes your marketplace work stays yours.
How do you handle payments between buyers and sellers?
We build escrow, split payouts, and payout scheduling on top of providers like Stripe Connect or Mangopay, including refunds and chargebacks. We build it and run it, so you are not stuck maintaining payment plumbing alone.
What about trust and safety: ratings, disputes, and fraud?
We build the ratings and reviews, the dispute flow, and the moderation and fraud checks that keep both sides safe. These sit in an operator console so your team can step in when needed.
Can you add referrals and an affiliate program?
Yes, referral tracking, affiliate links, and commission payouts are standard builds for us. Because it is a subscription, we can add them when growth calls for it and pause when it does not.
