A marketplace connects two sides, buyers and sellers, and needs trust and clear payments to work well.
Start your marketplace projectMarketplaces are two-sided by nature: someone lists something (a product, a service, a room) and someone else finds and books it. That means you need listings, search or browsing, and a way for both sides to trust each other, often through reviews or verification.
Payments in a marketplace usually flow through the platform rather than directly between the two people, so the money can be held until the transaction is confirmed. This protects both sides and is worth planning for early.

Most marketplaces hold payment until the transaction is confirmed, then release funds to the seller. This is a well established pattern a developer can set up for you.
That's normal. Many marketplaces launch with a small, curated set of listings and grow from there.
