E-commerce Management
Build a multivendor e-commerce platform
Kliv is an AI app builder. Describe your multivendor e-commerce platform — vendor dashboards, approvals, one checkout, commission rules, payout statements, and refunds — and it builds the real app on your own Stripe account.
Just enter your idea into the text box and AI will build it for you
What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t marketplace software you rent and configure — it’s an AI that builds software for you.
You describe the app you need in your own words, and Kliv builds it: the storefront, vendor dashboards, listing approval, checkout, orders, commission ledger, payout statements, refunds, and admin screens. What you get is a real application that’s yours. You can use it, change it later by asking, run it on your own domain, and take payments through your own Stripe account. It isn’t a template with your name on it.
On this page, that app is a multivendor e-commerce platform. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this is one.
Why build your own marketplace?
Marketplace software often brings its own idea of vendors, commissions, onboarding, and moderation. A curated market for ceramicists or woodcraft studios may have different rules: juried applications, listing approval, seasonal waitlists, and commission tiers.
Kliv builds the marketplace around your rules. Vendors, listings, cart, orders, commissions, statements, and access walls all live in your app and database.
The market’s records
A curated market needs vendor independence, one customer checkout, and a ledger everyone can trust.
Vendors and workshops
Each vendor is an organization with its own sign-ins and roles. One workshop cannot read another workshop’s sales, orders, or payout statements.
Listings and approval
New listings can wait in a moderation queue. Approve them to publish, or reject them with a note the vendor can read.
One cart across vendors
A customer can buy from several vendors in one checkout. Each vendor sees only its own order lines and the shipping details it needs.
The commission ledger
Every sale writes a commission row when it happens, whether the rate is a flat 15% or a tiered rate from your vendor contract.
Applications and onboarding
A vendor application can create the workshop, sign-in, and empty dashboard after approval. Rejections stay on record.
An example: Lena’s handmade marketplace
Here’s how one marketplace might use it. It’s only an example — you would describe your own vendors, approval rules, commission rates, checkout, and payouts.
A vendor applies
A stoneware studio submits photos and a description. Lena reviews the application, approves it, and the platform creates the workshop and invites the potter.
Listings wait for approval
The vendor uploads a dinnerware series with photos, prices, and inventory. The listings go live only after Lena approves them.
One customer buys from two workshops
A customer checks out with bowls from one studio and a cutting board from another. Payment runs through Lena’s Stripe account, and each workshop sees only its own lines.
A refund updates the ledger
A chipped bowl triggers a refund request. The refund waits for human approval, and the commission row reverses with the money.
Monthly statements use the same orders
At month end, each vendor’s statement shows gross sales, commission, refunds, and net payout from the records already in the app.
Vendors and the marketplace both see useful analytics
The vendor can see which listings convert and where buyers came from. Lena can see marketplace-level performance.
Describe the marketplace you want
Kliv builds from your description, so the more detail you give, the closer the first version. Include vendor approval, listing rules, commission rates, checkout, refunds, and payout statements. Here are three to build on:
Makers’ market
Juried vendors, one checkout, 15% commission, and monthly statements.
“Build a marketplace for handmade ceramics and woodcraft. Juried vendors manage their own listings and inventory, new listings require approval before publishing, customers check out one cart across vendors, commission is 15%, and monthly payout statements show gross sales, commission, refunds, and net payout.”
Vintage vinyl mall
Condition-graded stock and seller-specific ledgers.
“Build a multivendor record store. Sellers list vinyl with condition grades, buyers check out across sellers in one cart, each seller sees only their own orders and payout ledger, and the marketplace takes 12% commission on each sale.”
Farm collective shop
Weekly availability, Thursday cutoff, Saturday pickup, and a collective commission.
“Build an online farmers’ market. Member farms manage weekly availability, orders close Thursday at 8 p.m. for Saturday pickup, customers pay through one checkout, and the collective takes 10% into a payout ledger.”
How it comes together
Organizations are the vendor walls. Each vendor is an organization with roles for owners and staff. Row-level security scopes every query to the workshop that owns the data.
Moderation is a queue. Listings, applications, and review replies can pass through approve and reject actions with a paper trail.
Money runs on your own Stripe account. Checkout, promotion codes, refunds held for human approval, and commission records all live with the order data. Statements and disputes reference the same facts.
You can test the walls before opening day. A Scenario test can sign in as one vendor and try to read another vendor’s orders against a disposable database copy, then record the refusal.
A marketplace is a multi-tenant product. The SaaS solutions page follows the organizations, walls, and billing pattern further.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI that builds custom web apps from a description. You describe your marketplace, and Kliv builds the app you own.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Kliv builds the storefront, vendor dashboards, approval queues, checkout, orders, commissions, statements, and admin screens.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can change commission rules, vendor roles, approval flows, product fields, or payout statements by asking.
Can vendors see each other’s sales?
No. Each vendor is an organization, and row-level security scopes orders, revenue, and statements to the organization that owns them.
How do vendors get paid?
Checkout runs on your own Stripe account, and every sale writes commission rows into your database. The app produces per-vendor payout statements, and you settle transfers on your schedule.
Who approves new listings?
You do, or anyone you give the moderator role. New and edited listings can wait in a queue with approve and reject actions.
Can one customer buy from several vendors at once?
Yes. One cart can contain products from several vendors, then split the order lines so each vendor sees only what they need to fulfill.
What happens when a refund happens?
A refund can wait for human approval. When it is approved, the commission record can reverse with the refunded order line.
Does Kliv take a cut of marketplace sales?
No. Payments run through your own Stripe account. Kliv does not take a percentage of sales.
Do customers or vendors need Stripe accounts?
Customers just pay by card. Vendors do not need customer-facing Stripe accounts to use their dashboard.
Can I test the flow before inviting vendors?
Yes. The Sandbox can run test payments so you can rehearse a vendor’s first sale, refund, and statement before connecting Stripe.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. The marketplace can run on your own domain.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The code syncs to your own Git repository, and your records can be exported.
