This is the final part of our 3 series blogs. In part 1 we covered the pitfalls and mistakes in developing websites, hopefully that will help some of you to avoid some of the mistakes and make more informed decisions. In Part 2 we covered the differences between marketplaces vs websites, and now we are going to look deep into Bizibi Marketplace. For full disclosure this is our won marketplace, hence, for the risk of sounding biased we have not named or compared to other competitors but we definitely study them.
We believe we have the best market place in Trinidad and Tobago for ecommerce business. We believe it to be a gamechanger. Our platform has been build on php, we have not used any existing code like Magento or WooCommerce, we have nothing against these, but we decided to be in full control of our code and develop it specifically to over come specific challenges being faced by businesses in Trinidad and Tobago.
Bizibi is a full turnkey feature rich multivendor platform. We will go through some of the major feature in our system, we will not spend too much time on features that are standard and obvious.
