Arcadier Marketplace Platform

Arcadier is a Singapore software company founded in 2013 by Dinuke Ranasinghe, Paul Cascun and Kenneth Low. It provides marketplace-as-a-service so that retailers, brands, membership groups, financial institutions and public bodies can launch their own multi-vendor online marketplaces without building the stack from scratch.

The platform has three layers: a customer layer with storefronts, multi-vendor checkout, search, reviews, chat and merchant onboarding; an integration layer with SSO, Stripe and other payment gateways, ElasticSearch, Google Maps and webhooks; and a core engine for multi-vendor orders, commissions, payouts, permissions and separate admin, buyer and merchant portals. More than 150 REST APIs allow headless builds. It supports B2C, B2B, P2P and services marketplaces.

• Multi-vendor checkout: Buyers pay for items from several merchants in one cart.
• Commission and payouts: Admins set commission rules and automate seller payouts.
• Merchant onboarding: Sellers register, list products and manage orders in their own portal.
• Headless APIs: More than 150 REST APIs cover catalogue, orders, users, commissions and events.
• Integration layer: SSO, Stripe, external payment gateways, ElasticSearch and webhooks connect existing systems.
• Security controls: Role-based access, multi-factor authentication and PII redaction by default.

A consumer finance company can run a point-of-sale loan marketplace where partner shops list products, similar to Home Credit in the Philippines. A retail chain can open a third-party seller marketplace to extend its online range. An industry association can launch a B2B procurement marketplace for its members.

Operators get ready-made marketplace workflows for buyers, sellers and admins instead of custom development. Configurable commission and payout logic lets a business earn revenue from third-party sellers. A sandbox allows full test transactions before launch, and each marketplace runs in an isolated environment. Arcadier reports more than 260 marketplaces and over 5,700 active merchants on the platform.

Retailers, banks and associations increasingly add third-party sellers to their own channels to widen assortment without holding stock, a model popularised by large marketplaces. In Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, brands and financial groups want owned marketplaces to keep customer data and margin rather than relying only on Shopee, Lazada or TikTok Shop, which favours configurable marketplace platforms.
