Build the marketplace behind the marketplace.

A prototype built by Archon Soft. Not a client project, not a shipped product, and every record inside it is sample data.

01The productMulti-sided marketplace
The problem
A marketplace looks like a shop and is not one: two products are running at once and the ledger underneath has to stay correct.
The product
A two-sided platform where a buyer sees one order, sellers see their own lines, and the operator sees the money.
The system
One catalogue with per-seller ownership, orders that split across sellers, commission and payouts derived from order events.
The experience
Browse as a customer, then switch sides and watch the same order from the seller desk.
Archon capability
Platform architecture

What building it demonstrates

  • Two distinct applications over one data model
  • Payments, commission splits and seller payouts
  • Search, faceted filtering and catalogue moderation
  • Order lifecycle shared between buyer, seller and operator

02System layersSeven layers

A screen is the top plane of a stack. What decides whether the thing survives contact with a business is the six layers under it — and those are the ones nobody shows you.

03Related shipped workShipped

A concept never claims the shipped product contains its features. What the real work proves is that this studio ships; what the concept shows is where the same thinking goes next.
