What is Cliqket?
Cliqket is a marketplace engine for people who already understand a category. It gives you the storefront, shops, checkout, seller tools, content, social, and operations layer needed to turn that market into a real business.
Frequently Asked Questions
Starting
Who is Cliqket for?
Cliqket is for sellers, operators, creators, venues, communities, and founders who have supply, demand, or category knowledge and want to run the market instead of just selling inside someone else’s.
Is Cliqket a website builder?
No. A page can take a payment. A marketplace has rules, roles, payouts, listings, sellers, support, and operations. Cliqket starts with the business shape and builds the market around it.
Pricing
How much does Cliqket cost?
Cliqket is free to launch. There is no monthly platform fee and no build fee for the standard launch path. Cliqket earns 3.6% when money moves through checkout.
Who pays the 3.6% fee?
The marketplace decides. The buyer can pay it at checkout, the seller can absorb it in their fees, or the operator can cover it as margin, promo, or launch cost.
Can the marketplace set its own fees?
Yes. Operators can define seller fees, consignment rates, memberships, ticket margins, sponsorships, placements, subscriptions, and other revenue lines around the market.
Features
What can a Cliqket marketplace include?
A marketplace can include shops, auctions, buy-now listings, offers, drops, tickets, calendars, waivers, add-ons, memberships, catalogs, price tracking, collection tracking, trades, newsletters, and community tools.
Can Cliqket support different marketplace shapes?
Yes. Cliqket can support bid/ask markets, bounty markets, auctions, buy-it-now markets, local markets, catalog-driven markets, drop-based markets, ticketed markets, and operator-led service markets.
Can we get a custom feature?
Yes. Custom features are scoped around the market’s actual operating model. The goal is to launch the smallest real version first, then add the features that prove they matter.
Themes
Can the marketplace have its own theme?
Yes. A Cliqket theme controls the page structure, chrome, sections, cards, and visual system. The shared marketplace rails stay underneath so the look can change without rebuilding the business logic.
Can sellers have their own shops?
Yes. Marketplaces can give sellers storefronts, profiles, inventory tools, featured placements, newsletters, drops, and other ways to own their brand inside the market.
Migration
Can Cliqket replace an existing marketplace stack?
Yes. Cliqket can migrate users, listings, shops, inventory, bookings, tickets, content, and operating workflows into a new marketplace while preserving what already works.
Do we have to switch everything at once?
No. The safer path is parallel operation: migrate data, test the core workflows, run a private launch, and move live traffic when the market is ready.
What if we already have real volume?
That is the operators door. Cliqket helps you scale without hiring the tech and ops team first. You keep the audience and the business knowledge; Cliqket brings the rails and support path.
AI and support
What does AI do in Cliqket?
AI helps draft the market map, taxonomy, copy, seed listings, launch checklist, workflows, support triage, and operational suggestions. The operator still approves the market.
What happens when something breaks?
Cliqket is responsible for the platform infrastructure and critical issue response. The system is built around issue reporting, logs, monitoring, and an AI-assisted support pipeline, with production fixes reviewed carefully.
Who owns the customers and market?
The operator owns the relationship with their audience. Cliqket provides the engine, operations layer, and support path so the operator can focus on the market itself.
