Inventory management

Enable sellers to manage their inventory

: One-item inventory is perfect for second-hand marketplaces and platforms selling unique items. Multiple-item inventory is great for marketplaces selling new products.
: Sellers define how many items they have when creating a listing. The seller can manually modify inventory when editing a listing.
: Inventory automatically reduces when products are sold. When the last item is bought, the listing closes automatically until the seller adds new inventory.

Search and matching

Choose the right search functionality and layout for your product marketplace

: Sharetribe’s versatile search experience works for both local and global product marketplaces. Make your primary search function location-based or keyword-based.
: Choose your search page layout. Listings in a grid is a great choice for most product marketplaces. The map-and-listings view is fantastic for local product marketplaces.
: Buyers can search products by keyword (or location) and sort by price. Use filters to update search results instantly.
: Customize your search experience. Use custom listing data as search filters and create a unique filtering experience for buyers.

Payments

Monetize your platform through commissions on all orders

: Sharetribe uses Stripe to facilitate secure online payments. Stripe is an online processing solution for businesses of all sizes and has great solutions for marketplace payments.
: Sellers can choose shipping, pick-up or both as delivery options for their product.
: Collect all the necessary information from sellers to send them money.
: Through Stripe, Sharetribe automatically supports payments in 26 countries. Find out if we support payments in your currency.
: Stripe automatically sends the payment to the seller automatically. You do not need to send money manually.
: Stripe securely holds the buyer's payment until the buyer receives the product.
: Define a commission percentage in Console. Stripe automatically charges it on all orders.

Messaging and notifications

Let sellers and buyers communicate in-app

: Allow buyers and sellers to send messages to each other to ask questions and agree on details.
: Each user has an inbox where they receive messages of purchases, shipped items, new messages, and more.
: Determine the content of the automatic email notifications that are sent when things happen on your marketplace. No user will miss a new message or order.

Reviews

Build trust through two-sided reviews

: Two-sided reviews are an industry standard. Collect reviews from buyers and sellers automatically when a product has been delivered.
: Enjoy the built-in, industry-standard review flow. Five-star ratings are an easy and fast way to evaluate different offerings. Free text reviews give more detail about the experience.
: Double-blind reviews prevent feedback extortion. Reviews are published once both parties have left them or the review period is over.
: Build trust with visible testimonials. The reviews a user has received appear on their listings and profiles.

Pre-built integrations

: Connect your marketplace with another Zapier app, text messaging service Twilio, and notify users by SMS when something happens on your platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
