easy and fast marketplace management

The simplicity of initiating a marketplace with Sharetribe is truly impressive. Not only is it easy to implement, but it also integrates seamlessly with various platforms. The platform provides clear, step-by-step instructions that make the setup process straightforward. The flexibility to modify and personalize the code to meet individual requirements is a significant advantage. Sharetribe also boasts a range of beneficial features that enhance user experience. What’s more, Sharetribe’s commitment to constant evolution and enhancement ensures users always have access to the best features. But what truly sets Sharetribe apart is their exceptional customer support team, always ready to assist when needed.

Despite its many strengths, Sharetribe does have some limitations, particularly with its API. These limitations often necessitate seeking external solutions, which can sometimes be costly. This aspect could certainly benefit from some improvement.

Sharetribe enabled me to establish a marketplace specifically designed for childcare.

I am delighted with the experience I had with Sharetribe's assistance. The entire Sharetribe support team was exceptional. I asked them dozens of questions every day during the three weeks it took to build my marketplace, and they always responded efficiently and quickly. They guided me step by step and gave me plenty of advice to improve my platform. It's really refreshing to see a company like Sharetribe truly care about the success of its customers. After months of searching and trying out all the marketplace platforms available on the internet, I'm so happy to have finally found a serious one that's available for its customers and focused on building a trustworthy relationship with them. I want to give a special thanks to Oana and Adeyemi from Sharetribe support for their support and efficiency, but I also don't forget Thomas, Vesan, and Vesa. Thank you all and thank you Sharetribe.

Everything was perfect in the Sharetribe experience.

Après des mois de recherche et d'essais de toutes les plateformes de place de marché que l'on peut trouver sur internet. Je suis vraiment heureux d'en avoir enfin trouvé une, sérieuse, disponible pour ses clients et soucieuse de bâtir une relation de confiance avec ses clients.

Honestly, I was on the fence when it was the Go product although I was still chatting with the team in Helsinki and learning to appreciate how supportive they were. When Flex was released, it was a no brainer. I was already hugely impressed by and confident in the team behind the product and, with Flex, Sharetribe delivered the look/feel we needed to launch a product that had to help us "build trust through design". Slam Dunk.

Obviously there are limitations to using any out of the box platform but imo Sharetribe are consistently adding new features and so my expectations are always surpassed based on the fact that we get to leverage a heavy hitting, well hosted, secure database technology for a monthly rental fee that has enabled us to do corporate deals at a global level.

We need a 'home' for the people in our community and we need our users to be able to filter and find their right-fit person easily. Sharetribe delivers that core functionality in spades.

Their platform is really good and well-structured and their team is really really helpful. Highly recommended!

Nothing so far. It has been a very positive experience.

Building a marketplace that fulfills my business needs.

Complete marketplace solution from ground up, including billing and multi tenants.

Need time to setup Flex. Sharetribe Go is very straight forward.

Streamline communication between parties, with price bidding and reviews.

It's a highly functional out-of-the-box two-sided marketplace that was incredibly easy to set up. We were able to get something up and running in a matter of days, rather than weeks or months. The customer service is also amazing.

If you're building a products based marketplace, the check-out process is a little bulky because there isn't a shopping cart/one click purchasing option, and the aesthetic could be a little cleaner (I don't like that the text sits on top of the product images) but the overall functionality gives us so much control over the sorting + filtering that we needed, that it was still worth it. We'll upgrade to ShareTribe Flex within a few months to add some of the customizations we're looking for.

We're solving the problem of a long, expensive road to an MVP for solid proof of concept. The main benefit we've realized is saving the $30k developers kept quoting us to get to a basic MVP marketplace that was still missing key functionalities that we're getting with sharetribe out of the box, or with some small customizations.

The product is excellent, considering how far you can go without a technical background. Should you graduate to going deeply technical, the opportunities are endless

The only negative and its not directly related to Sharetribe is that you have a lot of pretenders on UpWork claiming to be Sharetribe experts but clearly are not.

Scaling up a highly functional marketplace in record time

Response speed from Sharetribe team is A1 incl at weekends

Limited ability to amend front-end customer interface

Creating an easy to use peer-to-peer marketplace with integrated transactions provider

Their team! Very reactive and helpful. Always available for any kind of question. The tool is extremely easy to use and customize. Their GO version is the ideal tool for marketplaces MVPs while the Flex is the most cost effective solution to grow.

Having to find a good external developer for the Flex version.

I created my first startup using Sharetribe (a baby gear rental marketplace) and first used it as an MVP to validate the idea with the market (timing and assumptions)

The customer service is just on another level. I've never received such an excellent customer service from any software company. They really care about you and your issue.

There is not really a downside. The software has a great design and all functions you need to get started with your marketplace (Sharetribe Go).

Thanks to Sharetribe, I was able to launch my marketplace for a fraction of what it would cost to build one.

Technology Customer Service Ease of Using

Nothing at the moment. Sharetribe is great to use!

We have been able to build out our tech in a low-cost manner yet with fantastic quality. Sharetribe is very easy to use and intuitive. Our customers are always going out of their way to tell us how much they appreciate our technology and it is all due to Sharetribe!

Sharetribe has made the set up of our marketplace extremely seamless, and their resources and support team have been exceptional. I highly recommend this software to anyone looking to build a world-class marketplace fast, with room to grow as needed.

We would love a few more design customization tools for the user profiles and listings dashboard.

As a digital marketing educational institution, we've solved the problem of playing daily manual matchmaker between our students and the freelance digital marketers they're looking to hire, while capturing a commission along the way.

They are always there to help and everyone on their team (even the CEO) is very involved in making their users' experience enjoyable. I also like their solution so much, because using sharetribe I had the chance to test a very quick MVP without losing money.

Nothing ! They're the best solution for marketplaces out there.

I developed the MVP of my startup without losing money with a costly development. It also helps to have a "tech" solution without recruiting a "tech team" for early-stage startups. I paused for now (Covid related) but planning to come back using their FLEX solution which will allow me to improve the service for BabyHop members and also to test a new business model without having to "break something specifically built" at the beginning. I love the flexibility you have when using Sahretribe.

Sharetribe has been the best turnkey platform for building marketplace MVP's in my experience. I built Studiotime with it (www.studiotime.io), in addition to 10+ other marketplace MVP's. The platform can also be customized using front-end development with the hosted version as you scale. The team is also great and supports their customers. Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about the capabilities of the product, how I've modified/customized it to suite my needs, and how it might be suitable to you. You can see the Studiotime case study using Sharetribe at http://bit.ly/2gXICOV

Due to the lack of an API (currently), the hosted version is a bit tricky to modify but can certainly be done. This does require development/code skills, but is still much more cost efficient then building a custom marketplace.

I built the Airbnb for music studios Studiotime (www.studiotime.io) with Sharetribe. Sharetribe has allowed me to build an MVP as quickly as possible, focus on market validation, and easily scale the platform from the tech side.

The interface is intuitive. There are plenty of choices, but not an overwhelming amount. It keeps you focused on the core of what a marketplace needs to be - a place for buyers and sellers to connect. Other platforms with no-code builds either were too lean, or too complex ultimately negating the mission of no-code. Sharetribe strikes a nice balance, especially for thinking through what functionality is a 'need to have' vs a 'nice to have'. Docs pages, pre-built integrations, and implementation of the marketplace was clear and straightforward (even as a non-technical founder).

It's certainly geared toward physical good and booking marketplace. but their roadmap and product / feature releases certainly indicate a path towards encompassing more diverse marketplaces. Inherent to any no-code solution, there will come a point where code might be required for the final 10% of your specifications, but getting the initial 90% makes developer investment lower and allows you to be very clear with what requirements remain; you're not staring at a blank page wondering what needs to be completed.

As a solo founder that is not a developer, Sharetribe has allowed me to build a working marketplace to test the idea, generate user interest, and understand in detail how the workflows and processes need to look. Before Sharetribe, I was considering hiring a developer and effectively starting from stratch, but Sharetribe did 90% of the heavy lifting, prompted me to ask questions I didn't think to ask, and narrow my focus to the essentials of a marketplace build.

Sharetribe is very quick and easy to set up! The built-in features are really intuitive while still giving you enough flexibility to accommodate different use cases. I had a two-sided services marketplace place set up with LinkedIn sign in, custom profiles, payments, messaging, approval workflows, etc. all done within about a day just using the Go product. Most features come default on, and you can just turn off what you don't want - rather than a lot of no-code builders where you have to add every module or extension to get the features you want. The admin tools are also really great out of the box. Help docs and resources are quite robust, and up to date. really nice, clean UI.

Like any no-code builder, you'll eventually run into limitations if the marketplace you want to build has some unique workflows to it. I probably would have switched to Flex if I'd continued with my project, but just didn't have the time to continue.

Sharetribe is perfect for people who have a marketplace idea they want to get up quickly and test. Even if you can code, it would take months of work to get the same feature set you get out of the box with this - so unless the marketplace has a really unique set up, it really is the best.

Sharetribe has excellent help documents on every query I have had. Even if the feature is not offered, there is an article explaining a workaround. Super useful!

There are a few features that would be nice like integrated subscriptions and refining user actions like posting listings. The landing page could also offer a bit more features for the price. Quantity on items would be super helpful for stock management, and event items cannot currently be accommodated (i.e. x amount of tickets).

A platform that integrates back-end coding that can be accessed via a front-end interface. Startup can be done faster than getting a coder with less risk and time.

Pricing is reasonable with the number of features they provide.

Admin tools could be better with more insights.

We are fulfilling our customer-facing E-com requirements based on our business.

Easy to use and set up. I am able to reach more people with my products. I prefer Sharetribe GO.

I don't have any bad things to say, it was very easy to setup. I didn't have any issues.

I am able to reach more consumers with my marketplace versus just using Facebook. It has made it easy to make more profits and only took a small amount of time to setup and I can access everything from my phone.

ease of set up n use. webstore was up n running in minutes

recurring cost n data dump is complicated

online rental store b2b

Simple enough to use for non-technical founders.

Ridiculously expensive hosting for what is essentially a very basic not very customisable product. A landing page is essential otherwise customers have no idea what you do, but the cost of hosting one page is almost as much as hosting the whole platform. What you get for paying that price is not worth it, it is a very basic, cheap looking, barely customisable landing page. The alternative is to host your own landing page, which is not a viable option for SEO.

None, I only created problems by using Sharetribe.
