Client portal development for marketplaces.
When customers keep emailing to ask where things stand, the fix is rarely another email. A client portal gives every customer a private, logged-in view of their own documents, status, and payments, and gives your team one organized place to answer them. We design and build portals that fit how your business actually works, working remotely from our Providence, RI studio for clients across the US and Canada. A marketplace is less a website than an economy with a storefront on top. Sellers need onboarding, listings, payouts, and a dashboard worth opening; buyers need search that works, a cart that handles several vendors in one payment, and enough visible trust to pay a stranger. The build serves both sides, and neither should feel the weight of the other. For marketplaces, two portals matter: a seller dashboard for listings, orders, payouts, and messages, and a buyer account for order history, disputes, and saved sellers. Payout logic and platform fees are built in with Stripe Connect or a comparable split-payment system.

Why marketplaces reach for this.
Sellers who list once and never come back
A clunky onboarding form and a dashboard that buries orders leave vendors with half-finished shops, and thin inventory is the first thing a buyer notices.
Checkout that splinters across vendors
When items from three sellers turn into three separate payments, three shipping estimates, and three confirmation emails, the cart is abandoned before the last one loads.
Trust that has to be earned twice
A buyer is trusting the platform and a stranger at the same time, and without visible seller profiles, reviews, and a plain-language dispute policy, neither side feels safe enough to transact.
Client portal builds start from $8,000. Every project is quoted to its scope.
