You don't need code for an online marketplace. Wordpress, woocommerce and elementor enable you to build an entire e-commerce website without the need to write a single line of code. Also, it is free.
It is not ideal to serve millions of customers around the world, but more than enough to start and test your idea.
Good luck!
Edit: I used the plugin Dokan when I was building my own marketplace, but there are several others you can use.
If you have never used wordpress, it will be a lot to learn. Here's my advice:
1. Learn wordpress first. Download Local by flywheel which is a program that will enable you to host a website on your own computer so you can practice. Download Oceanwp theme and play around with it. There a zillion youtube videos on how to create a basic wordpress websites. Most of what they say is accurate but one thing: don't get bluehost as hosting provider (neither Hostgator). There is a thread that was written about this somewhere on the forum.
2. Learn elementor. It's a drag and drop wordpress plugin. It's awesome!
3. Learn woocommerce. What it is, how to use it, how to set it up.
4. Find a suitable multi-vendor market place plug-in to implement.
It's a lot to learn but it is easy. It took me a day or two of videos to figure out how setting up a website works, then another day to understand wordpress, then 6 hours to understand elementor. But I am a slow learner
