What is Hotel E-commerce & Marketplace Development?
Sabka Saathi builds an online store or marketplace for hotels and guest houses in India. Your own storefront — or a multi-vendor marketplace — where you keep the customer relationship and the margin. For hotels and guest houses specifically, that means direct booking engine on your own website, channel manager keeping rates and inventory in sync, and front-desk check-in, folio and billing. Typical delivery is 6–14 weeks at ₹40,000 – ₹4,00,000+, built on Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and delivered remotely to hotel owners and front-office managers anywhere in India.

Why hotel projects are different
E-commerce & Marketplace Development for hotels and guest houses is not the same project as it is for any other sector. In hotels & hospitality, rooms are a perishable inventory — an unsold night is revenue that can never be recovered — and OTAs take a cut of every one they fill. That single fact changes what the software has to get right — and it is the thing generic, off-the-shelf products are least willing to accommodate. We build an online store or marketplace around it instead.
Most hotels and guest houses do not fail to adopt software because they dislike technology. They fail because the product on offer was designed for a different business and asks them to change their process to suit it. We start from your process. Hotel owners and front-office managers tell us how the work happens today — including the parts that only exist in someone's head — and the online store or marketplace is shaped to that. You stop paying 20–30% of every order to a platform that owns your buyer's data.
What hotel teams actually struggle with
OTA commissions take 15–25% of the room rate
Catalogue, variants, pricing rules and inventory sync — built into the online store or marketplace rather than bolted on afterwards.
Rates and availability are updated on each channel separately

Guest history is not retained, so repeat guests get no recognition

Technology we build it on
From first call to handover
We start with a discovery call to map how your hotels & hospitality operation runs today. You then see a clickable prototype before development is committed, so the shape of the thing is agreed while changing it is still cheap. Development runs in weekly builds you can open and use — not a black box that reappears at the end. Delivery takes 6–14 weeks for a typical hotel project, and we hand over source code, documentation and training.

Hotel E-commerce & Marketplace Development FAQs
How much does Hotel E-commerce & Marketplace Development cost in India?
Hotel E-commerce & Marketplace Development from Sabka Saathi typically costs ₹40,000 – ₹4,00,000+, depending on scope. A focused build covering catalogue, variants, pricing rules and inventory sync sits at the lower end; a full system including multi-vendor onboarding, commission and settlement, where needed sits at the upper end. We quote a fixed price against an agreed scope after a free discovery call, so there is no hourly billing surprise.
How long does it take to build an online store or marketplace for hotels and guest houses?
A typical hotel online store or marketplace project takes 6–14 weeks from discovery to launch. You see a working prototype in the first two weeks and weekly builds after that, so progress is visible throughout rather than only at the end.
Why do hotels and guest houses need an online store or marketplace specifically?
Because rooms are a perishable inventory — an unsold night is revenue that can never be recovered — and OTAs take a cut of every one they fill. The direct consequence is one most hotels and guest houses will recognise: OTA commissions take 15–25% of the room rate. A generic product does not solve that — it needs direct booking engine on your own website. You stop paying 20–30% of every order to a platform that owns your buyer's data.
What technology is used to build it?
We build on Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Razorpay, Shiprocket API, Redis. These are mainstream, well-documented technologies chosen deliberately so that any competent developer can maintain the system later — you are not locked into us. Source code and documentation are handed over at project close.
Do you work with hotels and guest houses outside major cities?
Yes. Delivery is remote — discovery calls, design reviews and weekly builds all happen online — so we work with hotels and guest houses across 258+ cities in 36 states, including district towns and smaller centres, on the same terms as metro clients.
Can it integrate with the software we already use?
Usually yes. We integrate with GST billing tools, Tally exports, payment gateways, WhatsApp Business API, logistics partners and most systems that expose an API or a file export. Where a system does not, we plan a migration path rather than forcing you to run both in parallel indefinitely.
