Etsy-like
E-Commerce Marketplace for group discounts.

Global marketplace where anyone can get group discounts in any industry. Marketplace where buyers join groups anonymously to buy products for lower prices.

Sellers lower their prices when selling to large groups.
By creating groups and offering group pricing in tiers, buyers are incentivized to share the products and buy with others, which lowers CAC for sellers.

The orders are placed if the minimum group size is reached by the deadline to join.

To build e-commerce marketplace there were several key things that need to be solved:

- User-friendly interface with search and filtering options that allows buyers to easily find products they are looking for.
- Payment processing that supports authorization and charges when group is fulfilled. Integrating Stripe Connect with Express accounts to KYC and onboard
merchants and custom payout mechanism.
- Integration with tax calculation and shipping calculation APIs.
- Create and list product groups, similar to Meetup’s with basic information, photos, product variants, nested product categories, group pricing tiers with templates,
- Shipping options with processing time, group renewal options and many more.
- Checkout page with secure payment, shipping address options.
- Order management to allow order managing, tracking shipment and fulfillment, handling returns, managing inventory.
- In-app messaging and notifications for both sellers and buyers.
- Share and save functionality that creates images with custom affiliate links to promote your group as sellers. It allows color customization to match your brand and share on social media or copy the link.
- Product analytics and insights along with the seller dashboard.
- Buy now functionality, ratings, and product review system.
- Import multiple products from Shopify via CSV with images and variants and prices included.
