Marketrail
MarketrailLaunch a marketplace that runs itself.
Marketrail is a managed marketplace platform for physical goods — vendor onboarding, split payments, gated payouts, and moderation baked in. Ship faster. Operate leaner. Keep the cut you choose.
Selling on the live demo marketplace
Built for every player in your marketplace
Three surfaces on one codebase — buyers, sellers, and operators each get their own.
For buyers
A beautiful shopping experience
- Search with live typeahead & filters
- Variants, galleries & favourites
- Secure Stripe checkout
- Tracking & purchase-gated reviews
For sellers
Powerful vendor tools
- Self-serve Stripe onboarding
- Listings with variants & stock
- Orders, refunds & payout ledger
- Revenue & performance dashboards
The money
splits itself.
Set your commission once and every sale is a Stripe destination charge: the buyer pays, the platform keeps its fee, the vendor's share lands in their own account. No code. No manual work. No spreadsheets.
Payout breakdown
- Buyer pays
- $80.00
- Items $74.00 · shipping $6.00
- Platform fee — 10% of items
- −$7.40
- Vendor receives
- $72.60
Shipping rides through to the seller untouched — the fee is taken on items only. Funds arrive on Stripe's standard payout schedule.
Marketplace complexity, handled.
End-to-end
Onboarding, checkout, split payments, payouts, refunds — one reliable platform, one codebase.
The sale is atomic
Charge, inventory decrement, and order creation happen together or not at all.
Payouts are gated
Money only routes to vendors whose Stripe payout capability is verified. No leaks.
Refunds reverse everything
One action returns the money, reverses the fee and share, and restocks — replay-safe.
AI drafts, the maker's facts fill the gaps.
Every AI feature proposes; a person clicks to accept. Nothing is written without a human — nothing is invented, and nothing can't be traced back.
Human in control
AI proposes. You decide. You click. We save.
Built on trust
Grounded, validated, and never writes to your data.

The three pillars of trust
1. The Fence
AI proposes, a human clicks.
No AI feature writes to the database. Drafts, chips, proposals only — you click to make it real.
2. Honesty
Grounded, never invented.
Only what's visible or provided. No guessing, no made-up facts — stubs instead of speculation.
3. Trust Boundaries
Validated in, validated out.
Model output re-validated, uploads ownership-checked, other people's text fenced as data.

Embeddings & semantic search
Same rules. Every surface. Every time. Because trust isn't a feature — it's the foundation. Bring your own keys; without them every AI affordance disappears and the marketplace runs identically.
