Marketplace Software Questions Buyers Ask

Short answers to the questions that come up while comparing Marketplace products. Open any profile above for pricing, reviews and alternatives.

Is selling on a marketplace worth the commission?

Selling on a marketplace is worth the commission when it brings customers you could not reach as cheaply yourself. Compare the commission with your customer acquisition cost on your own channels and watch repeat purchases, since many marketplaces keep the customer relationship.

How do I choose a marketplace to sell on?

Choose a marketplace by audience first: where do your buyers already search? Then compare commission, listing fees, payout terms, dispute handling and whether the platform allows you to build direct relationships with repeat customers.
