Built a marketplace with Warp AI?
We'll make it production-ready.
Marketplaces are among the hardest apps to build well because they serve two distinct user types (buyers and sellers) with different needs, handle money flowing between users, and require trust systems. AI tools can scaffold the UI quickly, but the critical backend logic — escrow, disputes, ratings, and split payments — needs careful implementation.
Marketplace challenges in Warp AI apps
Building a marketplace with Warp AI is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
Payment splitting and payouts
Buyers pay, the platform takes a cut, sellers receive the rest. This requires Stripe Connect or similar — significantly more complex than basic checkout. AI tools rarely implement this correctly, leaving you with manual payout processes.
Two-sided authorization
Sellers can manage their listings but not other sellers'. Buyers can view listings but only manage their own orders. Admins can moderate everything. Three distinct permission levels, all enforced server-side.
Trust and safety
Reviews, ratings, dispute resolution, content moderation, and fraud detection. These are complex systems that AI tools don't generate but that make or break a marketplace.
Search and discovery
Users need to find what they're looking for. Basic database queries won't cut it at scale — you need full-text search, filters, sorting, and potentially geolocation. This requires proper indexing or a dedicated search service.
Real-time communication
Buyers and sellers need to communicate. In-app messaging, notifications, and order status updates require real-time capabilities that AI tools often implement superficially.
Data integrity
Inventory counts, order statuses, payment states, and user balances must be consistent. Race conditions (two buyers purchasing the last item simultaneously) require careful database design.
What we check in your Warp AI marketplace
Common Warp AI issues we fix
Beyond marketplace-specific issues, these are Warp AI patterns we commonly fix.
Generated shell commands may have destructive side effects
Warp AI generates commands that work for the described task but may have unintended side effects — deleting files, overwriting configurations, or modifying system state in ways not specified.
Infrastructure commands executed without dry-run validation
Terraform, kubectl, and cloud CLI commands generated by Warp AI may be run directly without a plan or dry-run step, risking unintended infrastructure changes in production environments.
Scripts lack error handling and exit codes
Generated Bash scripts often don't include `set -euo pipefail`, error trapping, or meaningful exit codes. Silent failures in CI/CD pipelines can cause partial deployments that appear successful.
Generated Dockerfiles not optimized for layer caching
Warp AI generates functional Dockerfiles but doesn't order commands to maximize layer cache reuse, resulting in slow builds that reinstall all dependencies on every code change.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a marketplace with Warp AI?
Warp AI is a great starting point for a marketplace. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but marketplace apps have specific requirements — payment splitting and payouts and two-sided authorization — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Warp AI leave in marketplace apps?
Common issues include: generated shell commands may have destructive side effects, infrastructure commands executed without dry-run validation, scripts lack error handling and exit codes. For a marketplace specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for payment splitting and payouts.
How do I make my Warp AI marketplace production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Warp AI-built marketplace apps, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Warp AI-built marketplace?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger marketplace projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
