Software we ship for Marketplaces teams
Marketplaces are deceptively hard. Stripe Connect escrow, two-sided UX, search and discovery, reviews, ratings, dispute workflows, regulatory edge-cases — most agencies undersell the complexity, ship a prototype, and leave you to learn the hard way. We've shipped enough marketplaces to know exactly what breaks.
- B2B marketplaces (services / trades / supply)
- Consumer marketplaces (DTC, peer-to-peer)
- Vertical SaaS-enabled marketplaces
- Sourcing & procurement platforms
- Recruitment / talent marketplaces
- Rental / booking marketplaces
What we've learned shipping for Marketplaces
The boring infrastructure decisions that decide whether your product scales or stalls.
01
Stripe Connect Express done right
Onboarding flow, escrow holds, instant payouts, dispute handling, 1099 reporting. The whole payment substrate that decides whether your marketplace scales or stalls.
02
Cold-start liquidity tactics
Auto-bid notifications, admin seed-bids, identity verification (Persona, Onfido), warm-launch tactics. The non-engineering stuff that decides whether the marketplace flywheel spins.
03
Search + matching that converts
Algolia geo-search, faceted filters, smart matching algorithms. The 30% UX improvement that decides who comes back vs who tries a competitor.

Marketplaces development — your questions answered
The questions we get on every first call — answered.
- Express for 90% of marketplaces — Lattice-branded onboarding, no PCI burden, hosted UX. Standard if your sellers are already on Stripe. Custom only if you're building a fintech-grade payments layer with money transmitter licensing. See our Lattice Trades case study for the rationale.
- A real dispute workflow — contractor opens dispute, evidence upload, admin mediation, resolution within 5 business days. Plus chargeback handling on the payment processor side. Critical infrastructure for any marketplace operating at scale.
- Yes — from simple skill + location matching to ML-based recommendation engines. We'll usually start simple (Algolia + custom rules) and add ML only when the data justifies it.
