Launch a marketplace, not just a store.
Bring many sellers under one storefront, with a single checkout that pays each one automatically — and give every seller a real store of their own underneath.
One storefront. Many sellers. One checkout.
Shoppers browse a single catalog spanning every seller, fill one cart across multiple merchants, and pay once. Payments run on Stripe: each seller is paid their portion automatically and you keep your commission — no manual splitting, no payout spreadsheets. Think a Faire-style storefront you actually own.
You never hold customer money — Stripe pays each seller directly.
Your sellers' data stays separated, and at scale your marketplace can run on infrastructure of its own.
Run the marketplace, not the plumbing.
Everything an operator needs, in one place — onboarding, payouts, merchandising, advertising, and promotions included.
One cart, automatic split payments
A shopper buys from several sellers in a single checkout; Stripe splits the payment so each seller is paid their share and your commission is taken out automatically. You never custody the funds.
Payouts & seller onboarding, handled
Stripe runs each seller's payouts, identity verification, and banking — they settle automatically, you don't operate a spreadsheet.
Set commission & payout rules
Define your terms to match the way your marketplace works — per seller, per category, or across the whole marketplace.
Onboard sellers with a real review flow
Author your own application forms with custom questions and file uploads, review listings item by item, and a store is provisioned automatically with approval emails on accept.
Merchandise the marketplace
Curated homepage sections — "Trending now", "Featured shops" — so rails are never empty, blended with organic results.
Monetize with sponsored placements
Sell ad placements to your sellers, served with clear "Sponsored" labelling and measured by impressions, clicks, and CTR.
Charge your sellers your way — and keep it
Commission per sale, a subscription you price yourself, a share of sales, a fee on the orders you fulfil, or paid placements. You pay a flat fee for the platform and its support, never a share of what you earn.
Marketplace-wide discovery
Search and recommendations span every seller’s catalog at once, each result tagged with its seller.
Promotions & cross-merchant discounts
Run promotions across the marketplace with a clear funding model; the unified checkout honors per-seller discounts.
Most platforms earn one way. Yours earns five.
Commission is table stakes. Yours can also sell your sellers a subscription, take a share of their sales, charge for the orders you fulfil, and sell placements on your own storefront — at the rates you set, and you keep all of it.
You earn on every order, automatically.
Set your own commission and payout rules. Every order is split at checkout — your cut comes out before sellers are paid, with no spreadsheets and no chasing.
Charge a different rate for the sellers or categories you choose.
Your share is deducted at checkout, so there is nothing to invoice or reconcile.
Sellers are paid directly by the processor — the funds never sit with you.
Run your own advertising business.
Sell sponsored placements to your sellers — featured spots in search, category and homepage rails. Price them per day, per view, or per click; first-come or let them bid. Clearly labelled, fraud-filtered, and measured for you — and the revenue is yours.
Price placements per slot and per position, in your own currency.
Sponsored results are marked as such and blended with organic ones.
Impressions, clicks and click-through per placement, per seller.
And set the tempo with marketplace-wide promotions and events — seasonal sales across every seller, funded by you or co-funded with sellers who opt in, all honored automatically at the unified checkout.
The whole marketplace, in one platform.
Most options make you choose. Enterprise marketplace platforms run the seller operations but need a separate commerce platform underneath. Commerce platforms run a single store but leave the marketplace — sellers, splits, payouts — for you to build or bolt on. Galactic Core is both, in one.
Categories shown for clarity, not specific products. The point: only Galactic Core gives you the commerce engine, the native marketplace, and every way of earning from it — together, on a flat fee.
Sellers get autonomy, not a thin directory listing.
Each seller runs a genuine Galactic Core store — their own catalog, inventory, customers, returns, and reporting — and the marketplace simply aggregates it. They keep full control; the operator can't edit their inventory. Selling here is something a seller adds to their business, not something they hand it over for: they can run their own storefront and sell on other channels at the same time, and what they sell away from the marketplace stays theirs.
How it works
Sellers apply & are approved
They fill the operator’s application, get reviewed, and a real store is provisioned on approval.
Their catalogs join
Brought in or synced from the tools they already use (see Integrations).
Shoppers buy across sellers
One cart spanning multiple merchants, one payment at checkout.
Everyone's paid automatically
Sellers get their share, the operator keeps commission, payouts settle themselves.
Not a stripped-down marketplace mode — the whole platform.
Multi-currency, smart search & recommendations, storefront analytics, returns & store credit, messaging, and content all work marketplace-wide. Each seller gets analytics for their own store; the operator sees the marketplace — the same foundation as a single store, scaled to many.
Need the storefront itself? Anvil can generate a multi-seller marketplace storefront wired to Galactic Core.
From single store to marketplace —
same platform.
Start with a store, switch on marketplace when you're ready.
