Custom Platforms
Marketplaces, donation platforms, booking and ticketing systems, member portals — platforms where money moves between multiple parties. Splitting a payment is easy. Proving every split was right is the actual work, and it is what we build for.

Money Between Multiple Parties Is a Different Sport
A store moves money from one buyer to one seller. A platform moves it between buyers, sellers, the platform itself, and the processor — with fees, commissions, refunds, and chargebacks each needing an answer for every party. Get one rule wrong and you either leak margin or pay sellers money you never collected. We model the full money flow on paper first, then build the platform around it, with a ledger that can prove every cent's journey.
- Full money-flow model agreed before architecture
- Commission and fee rules computed server-side
- Refunds and chargebacks handled per party, not globally
- Ledger entries for every movement of money
- Reporting that finance can reconcile without a spreadsheet
Stripe Connect, Chosen Deliberately
Stripe Connect is powerful and unforgiving: the charge model you pick decides who carries refund liability, whose name is on the statement, and how onboarding feels for sellers. Most broken marketplaces we inherit picked a model by copying sample code. We start from your liability and compliance position, pick the model that matches, and build onboarding, KYC handling, and payout schedules around it — so the platform scales without a payments re-architecture at the worst possible moment.
- Charge model matched to your liability position
- Seller onboarding with KYC states handled properly
- Payout schedules aligned to your cash-flow rules
- Refund and dispute flows correct per charge model
- Migration path if you are already on the wrong model
Dashboards That Match the Bank Statement
Sellers forgive an ugly dashboard. They do not forgive numbers that disagree with their bank account. Every seller-facing figure we show — sales, fees, refunds, pending payout — is drawn from the same ledger the payouts are generated from, so the dashboard, the payout, and the bank statement always tell one story. That single decision eliminates the support tickets that quietly kill marketplace teams.
- One ledger feeding dashboards and payouts alike
- Pending vs available balances shown honestly
- Per-order fee breakdowns sellers can verify
- CSV exports that match totals to the cent
- Organiser and vendor views scoped to their own data
What You Get With Custom Platforms
Stripe Connect Architecture
Destination charges, separate charges and transfers, or on-behalf-of — chosen for your liability model, not copied from a tutorial.
Commission & Fee Splits
Percentage, tiered, per-category, or negotiated-per-seller — computed server-side and logged with every order.
Payout Validation
Every payout reconciled against orders, refunds, and fees before it leaves — because a wrong payout is a trust-ending event.
Seller Dashboards
Sellers, vendors, or organisers see their sales, fees, and payouts in real numbers that match what lands in their bank.
Booking & Ticketing Logic
Inventory that cannot double-book, holds that expire correctly, and refund rules that match your cancellation policy.
Member & Donor Portals
Recurring giving, membership tiers, and self-serve account management built on the same hardened billing core.
Our Process
A proven process that delivers results, on time and on budget.
Model the Money
Who gets paid what, when, and who eats each fee — modelled and agreed on paper before any architecture.
Architect the Platform
Connect account structure, order flows, and data model designed for your liability and compliance position.
Build & Reconcile
Splits computed server-side, every money movement logged, payouts validated against a reconciliation ledger.
Launch in Stages
Pilot sellers first, real transactions verified end to end, then controlled rollout with monitoring in place.
Is This Service Right for You?
Founders and organisations building a platform where more than two parties touch the money — multi-vendor marketplaces, donation platforms with fee models, booking systems paying out to providers, ticketing with organiser settlements. Especially those burned by a marketplace plugin that fell over at real volume.
