Mercata - Launch a Multi-Vendor Marketplace in your Community

All Local Initiative

The need to have local businesses in one marketplace has never been more clear.  During the pandemic many local businesses have been scrambling to get a online store operational (costing thousands), or even worse, have been forced to close altogether.  Their customers are getting their essentials from the mainstream multinational marketplaces that favor large corporations and even foreign manufactures.

THE PROBLEM

Major online seller marketplaces have dominated national and international shipped product sales, but have not yet mastered the art of local sourcing and local pickup and delivery. 

THE SOLUTION

Mercata lets you easily setup a marketplace that is only for use within a city’s limits.  This empowers local businesses to sign up and offer their products at the local level.  Curbside pickup and delivery are now within their reach!

Mercata: A World-Class Platform

Multi vendor marketplaces have been around for years.  E-Bay and Amazon are two names that come to mind when people think about ordering something online.   But why not go to you own city’s online marketplace?  Because it doesn’t exist right? Our team at Kapptive Studios has developed a turn-key marketplace platform that entrepreneurs, online media outlets or even city leaders can partner with to get local businesses back to work.

Features

Our Mercata platform comes jam packed with features that you would expect from any other big name marketplace. We give you all of the tools to manage the system easily allowing you focus on signing up new businesses, while the platform does its job.

CUSTOMIZATION

Our platform is custom coded by our team to perform on desktop and mobile.  Customizations can be made by request. 

REPORTING

Store Insights with Reports
and Statements. Vendors can see store sales report in details and also get a complete overview of their store’s performance

EASY WITHDRAW SYSTEM

We use Stripe to manage all sales and automatic payments.  Each sale on the system; Mercato will accept payment from the customer, deduct the admin fees and instantly pay out the balance to the seller. 

COMMISSIONS

Charge commission globally, by vendor, or on a single product. A fair commission model allows all parties to share the success of your marketplace!

ONLINE RESTAURANT ORDERING

Mercata’s restaurant ordering is second to none. We allow customers to order hot foods through the marketplace and restaurants get a custom tablet dashboard to manage incoming orders. 

EACH STORE IS SEPARATE

Every store can individually customise their own settings, branding, pickup and delivery options, open times, etc.

Each vendor can chat and answer questions from customers in the store admin messaging system dashboard.
