BUILD TO LAST: MULTI-VENDOR MARKETPLACE DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES AND HOW TO
NAVIGATE THEM

By Oksana Mikhalchuk
5 min Sep 5, 2022


INTRODUCTION

The multi-vendor commerce model has dominated the market for a long time due to
lower operating costs, more straightforward, centralized customer management,
and up-and-running order fulfillment. In 2021, Amazon made $469.8 billion, and
Etsy reported a market value of $21 billion. Most sellers opt for a marketplace
instead of investing in their independent stores —  for instance, nine out of
10 top US retailers are marketplaces. Before the unprecedented pandemic-induced
e-commerce boom, online marketplaces accounted for 58% of global online sales. 

 

Of course, this attracts commerce-savvy entrepreneurs and enterprises with
e-commerce potential to dip their toes into the marketplace model. With the
market so heavily saturated and full of tried-and-tested offers, what can you
expect? Let’s explore the biggest challenges. 

 


WHAT IS A MULTI-VENDOR MARKETPLACE AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT FROM E-COMMERCE
PLATFORMS?

Usually, a marketplace isn’t directly affiliated with manufacturers, goods
providers, or vendors and acts as middleware. A multi-vendor marketplace can
have tens of thousands of sellers consolidated in a single place, sometimes
offering goods and services that fall under similar categories like electronics,
art, or industry-specific equipment. Sometimes, the multi-vendor platforms are
all-encompassing, like Amazon or Taobao. 

 

From the customers’ point of view, the algorithm for choosing the vendor and
purchasing process stay relatively similar. However, the main difference from a
traditional e-commerce single-brand store is in the internal requirements.
Owners of multi-vendor marketplace are obliged to:

 * Build a solution that is scalable for its vendors. Even in the most niche
   markets, the manufacturers and sellers might have thousands of products and
   work with both B2B and B2C models. Any scale limitations, qualitative or
   quantitative, that contradict their business model might scare businesses
   away.
 * Ensure unified yet flexible logistics and shipping standards. The complexity
   may cause chaos and difficulties while architecting and developing the
   platform. Leaving the shipping options limited 
 * Validate all vendors joining the platform. While working with business
   entities, you would need to acquire and process much more information to
   accept them into the marketplace than you would need with an individual. 
 * Ensure compliance with the fintech provider for every registered
   vendor. Depending on what region or economic sector you serve, you will have
   to account for their target audience’s needs. For example, B2B vendors might
   need bank transfers compliant with the existing regulations.
 * Provide high load capacity. This is a standard requirement for any digital
   commerce entity, but for multi-vendor platforms expectations skyrocket.
   During high season, such as on Black Friday or the Christmas sales, many
   retailers struggle to operate as usual due to high demand. Imagine this
   situation, but scaled to tens of thousands?


CHALLENGES OF DEVELOPING MULTI-VENDOR PLATFORMS AND THEIR MANAGEMENT 

All of the above pose potential challenges. But before tackling them, many
mid-size and large enterprises face their first stumbling point — a lack of
internal resources and in-house expertise for fully-fledged marketplace software
development and support. Which issues can it cause in the planning and
architecting stage and later during platform management?


1. COMMERCE: BUYING AND SELLING EXPERIENCE 

Besides all commerce components needed for driving online sales and promotions,
like catalog checkout, SEO tools, and various marketing integrations, a
multi-vendor marketplace is expected to be equipped with robust product
management, return workflows and a mobile-first experience (preferably with
advanced web app functionality).

 

But these are all solvable and integrable technicalities, and there are
successful examples on the market. What you will have to think about to make
your offer appeal to vendors is customizable price tiers (since B2B buyers might
order in bulk) and variable postal fees (mainly if your marketplace is not
limited to a single product category). 

 

 

Regarding customer experience on multi-vendor marketplaces, users tend to use
search a lot, along with comparison tools, to make informed decisions. The
marketplace hosting thousands of vendors should also have a powerful ranking
system to ensure the best match according to the search keywords and fair
competition among vendors with similar offers. 


2. FINTECH: REGULATORY COMPLIANCE, COMMISSION FEES, AND PAYMENT OPTIONS 

It’s logical to assume that the more payment options there are for the customer,
the less buyer friction there is. Major payment gateways have perfected their
integrations for business, and managing numerous choices is not a problem.
However, as a marketplace provider you have to remember that marketplaces have
to prioritize scalability and variability for their sellers. Multi-vendor
marketplaces face additional regulatory requirements, and payouts are not
linear. There are commission tiers for the vendors, checkouts with multi-vendor
support, and complex tax regulations for B2B parties involved.

 

Ensuring this complex ecosystem works correctly for all participants requires
tools, integrations, and, most importantly, time to tie it together. Remember
that the platform version you’re building now is never final — depending on
laws, regulations, and market trends, you will probably be required to comply
and evolve sooner or later, which means more development costs. 


3. LOGISTICS: ORDER FULFILLMENT AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Logistics seems pretty straightforward when it comes to e-commerce platforms.
You ensure the ordered good’s stock and quality to ship them on time. Instead,
your focus is on connecting buyers to sellers and facilitating sales. With
marketplaces, you have to ensure the vendors you vet can keep up with the
shipping standards you offer. 

To make logistics work in a multi-vendor environment and prevent
miscommunication, you need to establish centralized control over order
fulfillment flows. Order management and product information systems (OMS, PIMS)
exist to facilitate vendor contract management and have access to vendors’
relevant data.

 
 
 
4. Security: fraud and web attacks

 

Statistics say e-commerce retailers deal with an average of 206,000 web attacks
per month, which is expected to rise. Since the marketplace is usually the
overseeing structure over vendors, it will be held accountable first for any
security breaches and policy violations. 

 

There is a widespread set of security protocols typically associated with
e-commerce: Data Loss Protection (DLP) solutions, the Payment Card Industry Data
Security Standard (PCI DSS), DDoS protection, and security patches. Depending on
your development team’s capacity, continuous support and troubleshooting might
be expensive.


5. QUALITY CONTROL: LACK OF VISIBILITY AND TRANSARENCY

As a platform provider, you are solely responsible for buyers’ and sellers’
positive user experience and digital commerce functionality. Many marketplaces
struggle and fail because of a limited view of vendor performance and selling
experience. Without performance insights, further platform development lacks
directions on what could be improved. 

 

From the vendor’s point of view, the lack of transparency in processes can be a
problem. Without performance benchmarks and by which criteria your store is
ranked among others, it’s hard to fix inconsistencies. Combined with minor
usability issues, such as fake reviews, poorly filled product cards, or a
checkout that is glitchy or takes too long, it might lead to a bad customer
experience and negatively affect your marketplace’s reputation. 

 

To avoid quality pitfalls on all levels, you need to establish the standards
vendors are expected to meet, including the financial regulations and
legislation of the regions your vendors operate in. For example, there might be
specific goods and services being sold which are restricted in certain regions,
or payment services that are unavailable in some countries. The challenge is to
define and select the right indicators to measure service quality across
multiple providers and to have a uniform and consistent view. 

 
 
Final word
 
The number of requirements and third-party risks continues to evolve and
multiply, and it’s essential to stay focused and avoid running into additional
costs. Building complex custom enterprise solutions, especially as multifaceted
as multi-vendor marketplaces, is like renovating a house. Starting with one
budget and path in mind, you might find yourself deep in a bottomless pit of
adding more extensions to your initial plan. To keep on the right track, try
incorporating two ideas: 
 * Focus on adding value. What is the unique offer your marketplace brings to
   the table? What is your selling point for attracting vendors compared to your
   competitors? Will the buyers find it convenient to use regularly?
 * Look for tried and tested multi-vendor functionality. You might be tempted to
   reinvent the wheel and start building software from scratch, but why if there
   are existing successful business models and integrations ready for you to
   use?
