Bonus: Marjory and Classeo, two of our clients, will explain our added value in concrete terms 🙂
Creating your own marketplace requires a tailored action plan to avoid start-up mistakes. This plan should be designed according to the organization’s specifics (size, structure, management, etc.), correlate with your product offering and be adapted to your pricing and marketing positioning.

How does it work?
The role of a marketplace is to collect funds from third parties, specifically sellers identified on your marketplace. However, it is not legal to collect or retain these funds without being a TPP (Third-Party Provider).
Digiteal, as a TPP and a PSP (Payment Service Provider) authorized by the National Bank of Belgium, has the right to handle funds in transit (from buyer to seller) for marketplaces.
As seen in the diagram below, split payment service refers to splitting (at a predefined percentage agreed upon by the parties) the sum sent by the buyer among the “sellers”.
Digiteal is not the first PSP Classeo has used. According to Classeo, the advantages of Digiteal include cost but also the payment reconciliation function (improved accounting).
The best payment solutions offer easy-to-integrate application programming interfaces (APIs). Digiteal, for example, provides a richly documented API that greatly simplifies integration on different platforms, whether these are custom-built or based on pre-existing technologies.
What’s more, some payment platforms benefit from partnerships with key players in the marketplaces ecosystem to offer simplified integrations to their users. Digiteal, for example, has forged a partnership with Marjory to facilitate these connections.
Finally, sellers who wish can also generate payment links, known as “Pay by Link”, either automatically or manually. These links can then be transmitted to customers to initiate the payment process.
Below is an exclusive webinar, hosted by Marjory, featuring two of their partners, Classeo and Digiteal. It took place in September 2022 and is titled “How to Build a Profitable Marketplace?”
To summarize the key points from this insightful video content, we’ll provide you with advice and things to anticipate when launching your new marketplace (duration: 26:26)!
