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.
Run the marketplace, not the plumbing.
Everything an operator needs, in one place — onboarding, payouts, merchandising, advertising, and promotions included.
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.
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.
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 two.
Commission is table stakes. Galactic Core adds a second income line built in — your own advertising — so your marketplace earns on what sells and on what gets seen.
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.
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.
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 your own advertising — together.
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.
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.
