How do I localize a two-sided marketplace for buyers and sellers?

Resolve currency, tax and payment methods for each party's country from one call per side. Buyers see local pricing and familiar payment methods, and sellers are paid and taxed correctly, without you hard-coding rules for every corridor you operate in.

How can I screen risk on every marketplace transaction?

Run each order through the fraud check, not just onboarding. BIN-versus-IP mismatch and anonymity signals on every transaction keep bad actors from hiding among legitimate volume, which is where marketplace fraud usually lives.

Can it handle many country pairs at once?

Yes — each country profile is independent, so buyer-in-one-market, seller-in-another combinations are just two lookups. Payment-method and card reality per country lets you understand each corridor rather than assuming one checkout fits all.
