Pro Tips

  • →Ask for 'Stripe Connect with Standard accounts' — it's the simplest path to compliant payouts
  • →Include a 'platform take rate' explicitly — Lovable won't add it unless you say so
  • →Start with a single category even if your long-term plan is many — narrow marketplaces launch faster

Prompt Variations

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Lovable handle Stripe Connect for payouts to sellers?
Yes. Ask Lovable to 'integrate Stripe Connect Standard; sellers onboard via Stripe's hosted onboarding; payouts to seller Stripe accounts on order completion; platform takes a 10% fee.' Lovable will set up the webhooks and the split-payment flow.
How do I prevent low-quality listings?
Add a manual approval queue: ask Lovable to 'require admin approval on the first 3 listings from each new seller; auto-approve subsequent listings unless flagged.' Combine with a minimum-image-count rule and automated profanity filter.
