Billing Both Sides of a Two-Sided Marketplace

Charge providers and payers without building two billing systems.

Billing Both Sides of a Two-Sided Marketplace

Two-sided marketplaces need to bill buyers and pay sellers — often with a take rate, a listing fee, and per-transaction commissions, all at once.

Doing this with two separate processors means two reconciliation nightmares. The clean approach is one ledger that records the full economic event: what the buyer paid, your take, and what the seller earns.

Orvlin models the whole transaction as a single metered event with splits. You configure the take rate; we handle deferred revenue, payouts, and the audit trail.

Sellers get transparent statements, buyers get clean receipts, and you get a P&L that actually adds up — no spreadsheet glue.
