Laioutr UI

Marketplace

The Marketplace package provides components and page templates for platform and marketplace business models with multi-vendor support, discovery-driven navigation, and scalable listing structures.
The Marketplace package is currently under development. The components and templates described below represent the planned scope. Individual components will appear in this section as they become available.

Overview

The Marketplace package is built for platform and marketplace business models where multiple vendors, sellers, or brands coexist within a single storefront. It extends the core Laioutr UI with components that handle the unique complexity of multi-vendor discovery, seller management, and diverse product offerings.

Where a traditional e-commerce experience focuses on a single catalog, the Marketplace package introduces the additional dimension of who sells what — giving buyers clarity and confidence while giving platform operators the tools to manage a growing ecosystem.

What to Expect

Vendor & Seller Profiles

Components for presenting vendor storefronts, seller profiles, and brand pages. Includes seller ratings, review summaries, shipping and return policies, and contact information — helping buyers evaluate and trust individual sellers.

Multi-Vendor Product Listings

Enhanced product listing components that surface seller information alongside product details. Supports multiple offers per product (different sellers, prices, conditions), offer comparison views, and seller-specific filtering and sorting.

Discovery & Navigation

Navigation patterns optimized for large, diverse catalogs with many categories and sellers. Includes faceted search with seller and marketplace-specific filters, category trees designed for deep hierarchies, and recommendation-driven discovery components.

Seller Comparison & Selection

Patterns for comparing offers from different sellers on the same product — including price, shipping, availability, and seller rating. Helps buyers make informed purchasing decisions in a multi-vendor context.

Marketplace-Specific Cart & Checkout

Cart and checkout components that handle multi-seller orders gracefully — grouping items by seller, showing per-seller shipping costs, and presenting split-shipment information clearly to the buyer.

Platform Trust & Quality

Components for displaying marketplace-level trust signals: verified seller badges, platform guarantees, buyer protection information, and dispute resolution flows.

Design Principles

All Marketplace components follow the same design system as the core Laioutr UI — using the same tokens, theming, and accessibility standards. They are built to be:

  • Composable — Use them as standalone components or combine them into full page templates via Laioutr Studio.
  • Themeable — All components respect the project's design tokens and can be styled to match any brand.
  • Data-agnostic — Components work with Laioutr's canonical types and can be connected to any backend via the orchestr layer.
  • Scalable — Designed to perform well with large numbers of vendors, products, and categories.
