Tokshop Web – Live Shopping and Auction Marketplace

Launch your own Whatnot-style live-shopping website. Sellers go live from the browser, run auctions, giveaways and flash sales, and buyers bid, chat and check out without leaving the stream. You earn a commission on every sale, and Stripe handles payments and seller payouts.

What you get:

• ✅ Web marketplace for buyers, with a seller hub to go live, list products and ship orders
• ✅ Admin dashboard to run the whole platform
• ✅ Node.js + MongoDB backend API
• ✅ Full source code and step-by-step documentation

Technology

• Web apps: React + Node.js (marketplace and admin)

• Database for sessions: PostgreSQL

You need your own accounts for these services and a server with HTTPS (a VPS such as DigitalOcean is fine). The documentation walks you through every step.

Want iOS and Android apps too? The Flutter mobile apps are sold separately as Tokshop – Live Shopping App and work with the same backend.
