Reviews
Fantastic bunch of people to work with!
We have been working with Simtech over 2 years now and it has been a great journey. Team help us on achieving our milestones without any hitch. I see Simtech Dev as a long term partner for us.
Dhamindu Don
General Manager at UNIXMO
The result is exactly as planned
Simtech is the company that has integrated a new design on our website, created by our designers. The result is exactly as planned, Simtech's professional team was transparent, reliable, responsive, flexible and fast in their work, for which we are immensely grateful.
Enisa Palamar
CEO of The Real Luxury
Simtech Development is always fast and in time. They solved every problem without an extra-budget.
Features and design were very important for us when we were choosing the platform. In Multi-Vendor, the admin-panel is easy to use, you can change the look and feel without coding, you can change many, many things from the admin panel such as the design or the commission rates and so on. And the price: the cost-value ratio is fantastic. So, at the end I would chose it again

CEO Kayamo
I appreciate it very much
I appreciate it very much because I work with my clients in a similar way. Summing up, I am very happy and thank you for that.
Mariusz Szymanowski
President GRUPA NOVA SP. Z O.O.
I have no experience in web development but wanted to build a marketplace
After doing some research, I decided to hire a freelancer to make some customizations for my MVP. This was a terrible experience. It was difficult for me to find developers who knew how to make the customizations I wanted and Simtech knew how.
Jay
CEO of giverise.ca
Fantastic bunch of people to work with!
So first of all, I really just feel safe as I know I can always lean back on Simtech and my own relationship manager here at Simtech when I have issues with my website or server. For someone like me who has no clue about coding nor hosting, this is brilliant. Moreover, this allows me to really focus on my main business. Also, since I moved from my own hosting account to Simtech’s Cloud Hosting, a lot has been made easier for me.
Sophie Brunner
CEO Urbankissed
I chose SIMTECH because they are very professional compared with other vendors
What I liked most was their patience and the extra mile service that they provide. I’ve tried other vendors in the market, but seriously… they are not worth it. I still prefer SIMTECH overall.
Sanji
CEO of HKMF
Their knowledge about our e-commerce solution was very impressive
The only integration that 100% worked and reached our expectations of security was Simtech Development’s one. This development was one of the best decisions that we made, the sales increased by 150% in one month alone! In the next 3 months, we sold almost 80% of what we sold for the last year!

FAQs
What features to include in a marketplace?
When answering this question, you should understand that any feature your marketplace has should be valuable for users and make their engagement with the platform more convenient. We offer the full scope of ecommerce marketplace website development services. For starters, focus on the major functions every multi-vendor marketplace must have:
- Signup process
- Vendor dashboard
- Search and filtering
- Payment gateways
- Wishlist and shopping cart
- Analytics dashboard
- Messaging and reviews
How long does it take to create an online marketplace?
It takes about 2 months to develop an MVP — a minimum viable product. The first version of the marketplace will include the basic functionalities. It is enough to launch and test the platform with real users.
Generally, it takes around 2-6 months to finalize and release the project. If you need marketplace portal development with B2B features the duration of your project might be longer.
How much does it cost to create a custom marketplace?
It is almost impossible to give an exact price. We encourage individual approach and estimate each project with its requirements and tasks on an individual basis. Development from scratch or based on an existing solution, integrations and customizations, and design are all factors to consider. B2B marketplace development is usually more expensive that B2C marketplace development. If you already have an idea, don’t hesitate to book a call with us to get a rough estimate.
How do marketplaces work? What is a marketplace example?
A marketplace is an online platform that brings together vendors and buyers. Sellers display their products or services on the platform available for purchase. Buyers find the needed item, add it to the shopping cart and process to checkout. The marketplace integrated with payment gateways and shipping services allows customers to select the most convenient way of payment and delivery.
Popular examples of marketplaces are Amazon, AliExpress, and eBay. We offer custom enterprise marketplace development to meet your any business requirements.
How do I make a profit from the marketplace?
An owner of the multi-vendor marketplace acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers. Here’s how you can make money: get a commission from every transaction made, charge sellers a fee for every ad posted, implement a subscription model, and charge users monthly or yearly fees.
