Project description:
"We are looking for an experienced full-stack development team or agency to build a comprehensive Online Marketplace Platform (similar to Amazon, Souq, or Etsy) that connects local vendors with customers in a seamless digital ecosystem.

This is a multi-vendor e-commerce platform with integrated delivery, secure payments, and a partner-based delivery system. The platform will include:
- A customer-facing website and mobile app
- A vendor dashboard to manage stores and products
- An admin control panel for full system management
- A delivery driver app with commission-based earnings and internal reward points ("Coins")

The system must be secure, scalable, and user-friendly, with the potential for future international expansion.

Key Features & Modules:

1. Admin Panel (Backend Control Center)
- Manage vendors, products, orders, users, and delivery partners
- Monitor financial reports, commissions, and subscriptions
- Approve/reject vendors and listings
- Set commission rates, fees, and promotions
- Full analytics and performance tracking

2. Vendor Panel (Seller Dashboard)
- Create and customize an online store (name, logo, description)
- Add/edit products (images, descriptions, prices, categories, stock)
- Manage orders (confirm, cancel, mark as shipped)
- View sales reports and earnings
- Withdraw profits (after commission deduction)

3. Customer App & Website
- Browse products by category (food, clothing, electronics, furniture, home goods, etc.)
- Advanced search and filtering
- Shopping cart and secure checkout
- Real-time order tracking
- In-app messaging with vendors (no phone number sharing)
- Product and vendor ratings & reviews
- Multiple payment options

4. Delivery Driver App (Mobile Only)
- Register as a delivery partner
- View nearby available deliveries (GPS-based)
- Accept, confirm pickup, and confirm delivery
- Earn commission per delivery
- Internal wallet with balance and withdrawal options
- "Coins" system: Drivers earn redeemable points for perks (e.g., priority support, free delivery credits)

Payment Methods:
- Online Payments: Integration with Stripe, PayPal, and regional gateways (e.g., Tap, HyperPay)
- Cash on Delivery (COD):
- Customer pays cash to the delivery driver
- Driver deposits cash to the platform (via collection agent or bank)
- Platform transfers funds to vendor (after commission, within 3–7 days)
- No direct contact info sharing – all communication happens inside the app

Revenue Streams (For Business Model Clarity):
- Monthly subscription fees for vendors (tiered by store size)
- Commission on sales (5%–10%)
- Delivery commission markup
- COD handling fee
- Featured listings & promotions
- Internal "Coins" system (drivers purchase for services)

Technical Requirements:
- Frontend (Web): React.js or Vue.js
- Backend: Laravel (PHP) or Node.js
