Partial The marketplace web platform and vendor dashboards are easily vibe-coded, but managing cross-border logistics and multi-currency African payment infrastructure requires complex real-world integrations.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine a multi-vendor marketplace core (e.g., Medusa or custom Next.js/PostgreSQL) with regional African fintech gateways (Flutterwave, Paystack, M-Pesa) and cross-border freight forwarder APIs. The hard part is handling multi-country customs clearance, reliable last-mile African shipping logistics, and cross-border FX settlements while adhering to export regulations. This requires international trade operations expertise and localized logistics partner agreements.
