digital marketplace

Internet shopping platform

A digital marketplace is an online platform where buyers and sellers conduct transactions—Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and app stores are prominent examples.

Unlike a single retailer's website, a marketplace hosts multiple vendors: She sells vintage clothing through several digital marketplaces.

The term encompasses platforms for physical goods, digital products, services, and freelance work.
