Technology stack
Modern commerce infrastructure — not a plugin patchwork
TheBazaarNext is assembled as a marketplace product: buyer experience, seller tools, and operator admin on a coherent stack.
Commerce engine
Medusa · Node.js · PostgreSQL
Orders, products, customers, and marketplace workflows. The operational core that vendors and admins depend on.
Vendor portal
Web (+ native apps where scoped)
Seller onboarding, catalog management, order fulfillment, and earnings visibility — separate from the admin control plane.
Admin control plane
Web dashboard
Vendor approvals, marketplace orders, commissions, payouts, promotions, and analytics for the marketplace operator.
Payments
Razorpay · Stripe (and more as scoped)
Checkout and settlement integrations suited to India and international marketplace models, including split-oriented flows where required.
Infrastructure
Customer-owned servers · typically AWS-ready
Deployed on infrastructure you control — your domain, your data, your operations — not a locked SaaS tenancy.
Three surfaces. One marketplace.
Buyer web (+ app)
