Overview

Marketplace compliance sits at the intersection of payments, tax, content policy, and data protection. As platforms scale across regions, they face obligations such as KYC/KYB, AML and sanctions screening, VAT/GST and marketplace facilitator rules, product safety enforcement, consumer protection, and privacy regulations like GDPR/CCPA.

This category distills workable practices: risk-based onboarding for sellers and service providers, continuous transaction and listing monitoring, tax calculation and reporting, incident response, and evidence management. Expect checklists, policy templates, and measurement frameworks you can ship into your stack without disrupting growth.
