And before launching, every companies will have to choose how to build the markeptlace, internally or externally. If companies decide to choose to use an existing software, they will have to choose the most adapted marketplace solution.
How to take the right solution ?
First advice we can give to every companie looking for marketplace solution is to list all the required features ; divided into priority levels.
Or if you and your company are not familiar with features, start to make a list with every action you would like to handle on the markeptlace.

Once you get this, you will be able to contact the marketplace’s providers and discuss your needs. It will give you a first idea of what you can expect from each marketplace solution.

To complete the first phase, your second objective is to be sure that you'll get the best user interface. It is not necessary to have the best feature if users do not use your platform because of its complexity.
The purpose of your marketplace is to make your users stay and to use it. So take time to understand how the different marketplace solutions work and privilege the most intuitive one.
If you want to launch a marketplace every provider should understand that you would like to create it the fastest as possible in order to catch up the market at the right time.

Of course, there is a financial question when speaking about marketplace creation. And you are the only decision maker. Take the time to study every proposal and face it to your requirements.
The offers form all marketplace providers would be different and that is why you will get variant price estimates. Be careful with the potential additional costs.
