منصة تربط المشترين بالبائعين حيث تُسهِّل المنصة المعاملات وتأخذ عمولة.

Why It Matters

Most 404Fault 'advanced' projects are marketplace apps. Understanding marketplace architecture — listings, bookings, commissions, reviews — covers the majority of complex app patterns.

معظم مشاريع 404Fault 'المتقدمة' هي تطبيقات أسواق. فهم بنية السوق — القوائم والحجوزات والعمولات والتقييمات — يغطي غالبية أنماط التطبيقات المعقدة.

Full Definition

A marketplace is a two-sided platform where buyers transact with sellers through a central platform. The platform takes a percentage commission. Examples: Uber (riders + drivers), Airbnb (guests + hosts), Fiverr (clients + freelancers). Building a marketplace requires: user roles (buyer/seller), listings, bookings, payment splitting (Stripe Connect), reviews, and dispute handling.
السوق هو منصة ثنائية الجانب يتعامل فيها المشترون مع البائعين عبر منصة مركزية. تأخذ المنصة نسبة عمولة. أمثلة: Uber (ركاب + سائقون) وAirbnb (ضيوف + مضيفون) وFiverr (عملاء + مستقلون). بناء سوق يتطلب: أدوار المستخدم (مشترٍ/بائع) والقوائم والحجوزات وتقسيم المدفوعات (Stripe Connect) والتقييمات وإدارة النزاعات.

Example Usage

“A 404Fault project: a home services marketplace where customers book cleaners, the platform takes 20% commission, and cleaners receive 80% via Stripe Connect payout.”

“مشروع 404Fault: سوق خدمات منزلية حيث يحجز العملاء عمال نظافة، تأخذ المنصة 20% عمولة، ويتلقى العمال 80% عبر Stripe Connect payout.”
