While custom marketplaces don’t come with pre-built connectors, they are commonly developed using open-source or widely-used tech stacks, which means software developers can create bespoke integrations with most third-party software.
Marketplace platforms typically come with essential out-of-the-box integrations, such as payment gateways, a search engine, and analytical tools. If there are no pre-built connectors, platform-based marketplaces can also be integrated with third-party systems through custom development.
