Marketplace Platform

Classifieds and marketplace platforms, built for the Kingdom

A marketplace is not a store with more sellers. It is moderation, trust, disputes, payouts and a liquidity problem — and the software has to answer all five before launch day.

Start a project
Listings at scale
Categories, attributes, search and filters that stay fast past a million rows.
Trust and moderation
Verification, reporting, fraud signals and a moderation queue your team can actually work.
Payments and payouts
Escrow, split settlement, seller payouts, refunds and dispute handling.
Arabic-first
Arabic search, Arabic listing forms and RTL throughout — the primary experience, not the secondary one.
Why it matters

Marketplaces fail on trust and liquidity, not features

Everyone who asks for "a site like Haraj" starts with the listing form. The platforms that survive start with what happens when a listing is fake, a buyer disputes a payment, or a category has sellers and no buyers. We build for those three first, because they decide whether the rest ever matters.

No moderation tooling, so fraudulent listings are removed by hand until the team gives up.

Payments sit directly between strangers, with nothing holding funds while a dispute is resolved.

Search is a database LIKE query, and it collapses the week the catalogue gets interesting.

What we build

Four platform shapes

Classifieds
Free or paid listings, promoted placement, direct buyer–seller contact. Revenue from promotion and featured slots.
Multi-vendor commerce
A single checkout across many sellers, with split settlement, per-seller shipping and consolidated returns.
Service marketplaces
Quotes, scheduling, milestone payments and two-sided reviews — closer to a workflow product than a catalogue.
B2B trading platforms
Verified companies, RFQs, negotiated pricing, credit terms and ZATCA-compliant invoicing.

Frequently asked

Can you really build something like Haraj?
The mechanics, yes. The audience is the hard part — no build creates liquidity. We will help you plan a category-by-category launch rather than a national one.
How much does a marketplace cost?
Every project is scoped and quoted individually. Tell us what you need on one call and you get a fixed written quote within 48 hours — free, with no obligation.
Do we need a mobile app at launch?
In this category, usually yes — Saudi marketplace usage is overwhelmingly mobile. A responsive web v1 plus apps in phase two is a defensible route.
What about regulation?
Marketplaces touching payments or e-commerce have registration and e-invoicing obligations. We build to them and will tell you when you need a specialist lawyer instead of a developer.
Can it start small?
It should. One city, one category, real sellers, then expand. The architecture assumes growth; the launch should not.
