Creating a Marketplace

You can set up an event rule, to start a workflow execution when you application send an event to the PutEvent API

{
  "type": "new_order",
  "buyer": "094353434343",
  "seller" : "1245643453234",
  "transaction_id": "3643346346345",
  "price": "100000",
  "currency": "IDR"
}

{
  "type": ["new_order"]
}

You can set the following as the rule action

@workflow-new_order(buyer=$event.buyer,seller=$event.seller, item=$event.item, amount=$event.price, currency=$event.currency)

Workflow Implementation

The following workflow, will first deduct the money from the PayMongo Wallet of the buyer to your master ledger.

Then it will wait for an event, when the seller sends the item and inputs the tracking number in your system, then using integration with the tracking company we can await for the item delivered event, which will then await for your application to send an order confirmation from the buyer end to forward the money to the seller.
