How do marketplaces make money?

Most marketplaces charge a commission on each transaction (5-20% is common). Some also charge listing fees, subscription fees for sellers, or premium placement fees. VibeDream includes Stripe Connect for handling multi-party payments.

Is a marketplace hard to build?

Marketplaces are more complex than single-sided apps, but VibeDream handles the complexity. It generates all the essential features: user accounts, listings, payments, messaging, and reviews. The main challenge is building the community, not the technology.

How do you handle payments between users?

VibeDream uses Stripe Connect to handle marketplace payments. Money flows from buyer to your platform, you take your commission, and the rest goes to the seller. This is the industry standard for marketplace payments.

What niche should I build a marketplace for?

The best niches are ones where you have domain expertise or access to one side of the market. Local services, specialized skills, niche products, and B2B services all work well. Start narrow and expand.
