Changelog

It is now possible to manage availability in 15-minute increments, just like providers manage booking lengths. This way, providers can have their availability to match the length of the booking: for example, they can have a two hour event that can happen either 9:30-11:30 or 13:30-15:30, and only these slots are made available in their calendar. This is available in Template v12.5.0.

Sharetribe has new pricing. Here it is in a nutshell:

• Sharetribe now offers only two plans, Build at $39/month, and Live at $259/month or $199/month when paid annually. That's a 33% price reduction to our most expensive plan, since Live includes everything Extend did.
• Transaction fees are no more. You don't need to pay a $0.19 fee for each new conversation thread, bid, or offer.
• Additional usage fees are based on the use of Sharetribe's APIs and infrastructure. Both subscription plans include 1M usage credits, and usage on top of that is charged separately. Volume discounts are applied to usage automatically and you have the option to get a lower usage price with an annual credit commitment.

If you have an active Sharetribe account, you can already check your usage on your subscription page. Learn more on our pricing page and the Help Center.

• Lazy loading of images in multiple locations, for lower usage.
• Disallow AI bots from causing server load and fetching resources.

Sharetribe now has full, built-in support for digital product marketplaces. Recent features such as a digital download transaction process and message files let you launch a marketplace for selling files like design templates, knitting patterns, software plugins, or stock photos or music. Or custom work like art commissions, logo design, or custom illustrations.

• In Console, you can now see which admin initiated a transition in transaction management. The transaction timeline now shows the admin email address or Integration API responsible for operator transitions.

Private file attachments are now available in the Marketplace and Integration APIs. Private files can only be accessed by an authenticated user or the marketplace operator.

A new transaction process action enables adding and removing protected files attached to a transaction. This makes it possible to attach files such as signed contracts or proof of delivery at any point during a transaction.

• Reorder listing images (template release: v12.2.0): When creating a listing, users can now drag and drop the images they've uploaded into the order they want.

Template release: v12.0.0

Sharetribe’s newest transaction process, Digital download, is built for products that are delivered as a digital file. Sellers upload files to their listings, and buyers get access to them automatically after purchase. Everything happens and is stored in your Sharetribe marketplace. All files uploaded to a listing are held securely in Sharetribe-hosted storage and directly accessible through your marketplace and Console.

• Change the role of an organization member in Console. Organization owners can now change an operators' role to owner or vice versa as long as there's always at least one owner.

Template release: v11.2.0

Customers and providers can now attach files to transaction messages: up to 10 files per message, maximum 1 GB per file. Add support for transactions where files need to change hands. Let users share project assets, deliver completed digital work, and send images or documents to each other without leaving your platform.

Run referral, affiliate, and influencer programs with Toppal, a service built specifically to work with Sharetribe’s referral source feature. Give partners unique affiliate links and see which partners drive sign-ups and revenue on your marketplace. Determine whether affiliates get a commission for each new user or completed transaction they bring to your platform.

Template release: v11.1.0

Set up referral sources in your user type settings to capture where new users came from. Use referral sources to attribute sign-ups to specific referrers in affiliate programs or track which users come from paid ad campaigns or influencer partnerships.

The Sharetribe Docs now has two new tools to make development easier: an AI assistant and a documentation MCP server. Ask the Docs AI a question and get an answer that's pulled directly from the docs. The MCP server lets you connect Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, and other code editors directly to our documentation.

Template release: v10.15.0

You can now choose which sorting options appear on your search page. Toggle the default options on or off and create custom sorting options based on numeric metadata fields. Use numeric metadata to create a fully custom search ranking order.

It is now possible to build integrations that verify a user's email address automatically. This API feature is only available for marketplaces that use their own SendGrid account for outgoing email.

Template release: v10.15.0

Add metadata to listings and profiles and use it to add trust signals, featured listing tags, custom search filters, unique sorting criteria, and more. Unlike regular, public listing and user fields, only you, the marketplace operator, can add or change metadata.

Template release: v11.0.0
Patch release: v11.0.1
Patch release: v11.0.2

There's a new custom field type for user, listing, and transaction fields: single-line text. Add a single-line text field for a compact, short answers of up to 70 characters.

You can now launch a freelance marketplace with Sharetribe entirely without coding. With the transaction process price negotiation, your marketplace supports a transaction flow where every project is unique and needs individual pricing.

Template release: v10.14.0
Patch release: v10.14.1

You can now add automated listing sections to any content page on your marketplace. Feature your newest listings or highlight listings in a specific category or location. Showcase your most highly rated content or hand-pick listings to feature.

Template release: v10.14.0

You can now add help texts to any custom field (user, listing, and transaction fields). Give users more context about a field and help them add the right information.

Template release: v10.15.0

It is now possible to select which sorting options are available when browsing listings on a search page. The list of options is not displayed if only one is selected. This allows you to keep only the relevant options visible, and keep the search page even lean if you keep only one option active.

Sharetribe now lets you build an even more complex price negotiation flow without coding. Choose how providers and customers can negotiate on price: through counter offers, offer updates, both, or neither.

When your customers and providers need to communicate complex requirements, asking them for the right information at the beginning of a transaction can make a huge difference. Now, you can use transaction fields to ask for the most relevant info in a structured way.

It is now possible to add reviews on behalf of users for any existing transaction in Console.

Template release: v10.13.0

The listing description is a default field available for every listing type, but it doesn't fit all marketplaces. You can now disable the listing description in your listing type settings in Console.

• Sharetribe Web Template received many accessibility improvements, making it easier to navigate.
• Create custom links to listing creation where the listing type is pre-selected.

We’ve made a ton of small improvements to Sharetribe over the past months. This newsletter compiles these improvements into one resource. From end-user account deletion to previewing listing images in Console, these improvements make both the admin and end-user experience better.

• Sharetribe Web Template v10.4.0: A small cache implementation around SDK instance on the server will increase performance and speed up rendering. It also brings a few minor fixes. Learn more about the update.
• It is now possible to delete a user's data from Stripe when disconnecting their Stripe account or deleting their account from your marketplace.
• Messages sent by banned users are no longer shown to other users and will instead be replaced with a default message “This message is hidden for safety reasons.”

The price negotiation transaction process gets its first update: regular price negotiation is here! Build a marketplace where providers create listings and customer request quotes from them.

User fields let you collect additional custom information about users in your marketplace. There are plenty of things you might want to ask from your users that shouldn’t be public. You can now create private user fields and collect information that only the user and you, the marketplace admin, can see.

You no longer need to manually delete users through Console. Instead, your users can do it themselves. When someone decides it’s time to delete their account, they can do so through a new Manage account tab under account settings on your marketplace.

• Sharetribe Web Template v10.0.0: Redux Toolkit (RTK) is now our new standard for state management. Learn more about the update.
• Sharetribe SDK v1.22.0: Previously, making multiple concurrent requests with an unauthenticated SDK instance would trigger separate authentication calls for each request. Now, the SDK triggers only one authentication call, which reduces unnecessary requests and improves performance. Learn more about the update.

Sharetribe just unlocked support for reverse marketplaces. Our latest feature is an entirely new transaction process that enables price negotiation with online payments. This first release lets you build a marketplace where customers create listings and describe what they need. Providers reach out to them and start transactions instead of the other way round. 

• You can preview all listing images in Console's listing management.
• Admins can now change their Sharetribe account email address in Console.
• Logging in to Console is now more secure thanks to an extra verification code sent by email.

Sharetribe’s Zapier integration helps you automate tasks without coding. Our newest Zap templates help you automate user approval and permissions based on user type, limit access based on email domain, and add reminder emails about important supply onboarding steps. Zapier is available in live marketplaces in the Pro and Extend plans.

Pricing has changed since → see our Pricing page.

This year, we’ve added a ton of no-code functionality to Sharetribe specifically for service marketplaces. You can launch a service platform without coding, validate your idea, and scale when you're ready to grow. Our latest newsletter on summarizes all the key Sharetribe functionality that a service marketplace with bookings needs—and that you get out of the box, no-coding required.

Users of a Sharetribe-powered marketplace can now sort items in their inbox (by Newest, Latest message, and Latest status change). This makes navigating and finding transactions and conversations easier, especially to manage those with recent activity.

You can now set a minimum commission to make sure your commission always covers your fees, even when transaction value is low. Or set a flat commission rate that’s the same across the board.

• You can edit the sender email name in the Test and Dev environments in Console.

Earlier this year, we released the new Console filtering experience. Now, you can also add your own extended data filters to Console, on top of the default ones. You can do this entirely without coding (with custom fields) but also with Sharetribe's APIs. Either add custom listing fields in Console and enable them as filters to the search page or use Sharetribe CLI to add search schemas for any type of schema other than text. These extended data will be added to the filter selection on your user, listing, and transaction management pages.

It is now possible for providers to post listings without photos. Instead, they can select a style (color) which will be used as the background on top of which their listing title will be displayed. This is particularly useful for reverse marketplaces, when photos for listings are not really useful.

• Sharetribe's login and signup pages have a gorgeous new visual design.

Build different user experiences for supply and demand with our latest user type improvements. With user roles and user account links, you have more control over what each user can do and see, and you can create more streamlined, role-specific experiences. For example, you can determine if only one user type can see the link to post listings or which user type can add payout or payment details.

• You can hide the link to post listings from non-logged-in users in top bar settings.

Help customers find what they need with a beautiful multi-option search bar. You can now add a search bar with multiple options to your home page (or any content page). Without coding.

Having multiple listing types lets marketplaces offer their audiences different ways to transact or even serve many different audiences. You can now also build separate search experiences for different listing types. Let users filter listings by listing type on the search page or create direct links to the search results that only include listings in a specific listing type.

• Performance improvements to the APIs, leading to faster API response times for responses containing large amounts of data.
• New Integration SDK, version 1.10.0, which enables GZIP compression.

No-code content and configuration workflow in Flex works so that changes are made and validated in Test environment and published by copying them to Live environment. However, in order to be able to achieve a good experience for developing custom features, marketplace changes can be copied to a Dev environment too.

The Marketplace API and Integration API /listings/query endpoints now support a new query parameter: stockMode. This allows expressing queries such as "find all listings that either have no defined stock or are not out of stock". This can be useful in marketplaces that have both listings that use availability management (bookings) and stock.

• Sharetribe Web Template v2.2.0. This adds bug fixes (most notable was with the inquiry transition, which failed on the checkout page) and more tests for pages that deal with different processes.

The Console navigation was redesigned completely to better expose the new no-code features and ensure all the most used features are easily accessible.

If you want to allow your users to search by both location and keyword, you can now enable a keyword filter on your search page if you're using location search.

You can now analyze traffic on your site with the world's most used free analytics service.

Google Search Console allows you to monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot your site's presence in Google Search results.

After 1,5 years of development, we are finally able to give the first pilot users access to our new marketplace builder. At this point, the no-code features of the new Sharetribe are still in an alpha stage, but it still allows you to create a fully functional marketplace without coding, and it comes with all the power of the developer platform you've formerly known as Sharetribe Flex.

You can now configure the following settings of your marketplace without any coding whatsoever:

• Branding. Change marketplace color, logo, and other brand images.
• Layout. Toggle between layout options for search and listing pages, and adjust the listing image thumbnail aspect ratio.
• Footer. The footer section was previously hard-coded in the Template. Configure your footer in a similar way as sections on your pages.
• Listing types. Determine the default transaction process of new listings (purchases or bookings) and further settings.
• Listing fields. Add custom data fields to listings and use them as search filters.
• Listing search. Configure your search type (keyword or location) and default filters (availability and price).
• Commission. Decide the commission you want to charge from each transaction.
• Minimum transaction size. Set a minimum price for listings to ensure that your commission will cover payment processing fees.

Sharetribe launched its first product, Sharetribe Go, back in 2014. It allowed building a simple marketplace website without coding, but it was not possible to extend it with code. In 2018, Sharetribe launched its second product, Sharetribe Flex, which made it easy for developers to build unique custom marketplaces quickly, but there was no way to use it without coding skills. These two products helped thousands of founders launch their online marketplaces.

The new Sharetribe, publicly released in January 2024 after a beta period, combines the best of Sharetribe Go and Sharetribe Flex in one product. It allows you to launch a marketplace in one day, without coding, but at the same time it's possible to customize and extend your marketplace infinitely with code and scale it to any size. It's the ultimate marketplace software solution for bootstrapping but ambitious founders: it will help you take you from your first user to millions.
