Listings and search
Structured listings, filtering, location, availability and ranking designed for how buyers make decisions.
Custom marketplace development
Build a marketplace around your business model
Design and deliver a two-sided platform for the way your buyers, sellers and operations team actually work—not around the limits of a generic template.
Core capabilities
The systems a marketplace needs to operate
We shape the product around your transaction, trust and operating model, then build the smallest useful version that can be tested with real users.
Bookings and transactions
Clear state transitions, availability controls and reliable handling of cancellations, refunds and disputes.
Marketplace payments
Platform fees, split payments, provider payouts, reconciliation and audit trails built around the commercial model.
Trust and communication
Messaging, notifications, reviews, verification and moderation features that support safe transactions.
Operator tools
Administration for listings, members, transactions, support cases and the exceptions that cannot be automated.
Integrations and reporting
Connections to payments, identity, CRM and operational systems, with reporting that reflects marketplace activity.
Choose the right foundation
Custom build or Sharetribe?
A custom platform is useful when your workflows, pricing, integrations or operating model are central to the product. Sharetribe can be the faster route when its transaction model fits and the work is mainly customisation.
Own the product architecture and shape every important workflow around the business.
Start from a marketplace foundation and add focused features, integrations and operational support.
