Inquiry on Marketplace Website Capabilities

[Chatnattapon Ratnaratorn]

Hello,

I’m reaching out to ask if your system could support a marketplace platform where journalists can post news for sale to general users, with all transactions processed on the website.

The main requirements include:

1. Users can create news posts with custom pricing.

2. The system displays news as pins on a map.

3. Payments are processed through the system only, not directly to creators.

4. Support for credit card payments, at a minimum.

5. Keyword search for news items.

6. Location-based search, viewable on a map and as a list.

7. Multi-tenant support.

Could you let me know which of these are supported? Any insights on plugins, configurations, or customizations would also be appreciated.

Thank you very much for your help.

Could you do it? Yes

Would I pick oscar to do this? Im not sure.

I would start with sketching out some mock ups (website or app?) and deciding how many of oscars out-the-box ecomm features you need and work out if it would be better building the whole thing from scratch.

The mapping features will need some heavy customisation, you could use stripe connect for marketplace payouts.

What would be the workflow for uploading news articles and delivering them to the customer after the purchase?

There are probably too many unknown variables to give you a good answer past the first 2 sentences.
