Multi-Type Software Marketplace Build

Job ID: 40043750

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I am setting up an online marketplace dedicated exclusively to software downloads. The platform must be able to list and sell multiple kinds of software rather than locking me into a single category, as I intend to feature BIM software plugins first and then expand to other niches such as productivity tools, dashboards, or educational titles later on.

Core functions I need delivered:

• Seller onboarding: self-service vendor dashboards where publishers upload binaries, screenshots, version notes and pricing.
• Catalog & search: category, tag and keyword filtering that can easily accommodate new software types as they are added.
• Secure payments & fulfilment: Stripe and PayPal integration, automatic licence-key or file download delivery, purchase history for buyers, and VAT/sales-tax handling.
• Customer accounts: wishlist, update notifications and simple refund request flow.
• Admin console: product approval queue, configurable commission rates and real-time analytics.

Tech stack is up to you; modern frameworks such as Laravel, Django or Node/Next are all acceptable, provided the codebase is clean, documented and easy for another developer to extend.

Acceptance criteria
– A live staging site where I can create a BIM plugin listing, run a test purchase and receive the download link/key.
– Source code and deployment instructions.
– Brief hand-off session or screencast walking through key admin and vendor features.
