Secondskin: Pre-owned marketplace for a niche community
A Sharetribe marketplace for buying and selling pre-owned items: custom design, multicurrency listings, price negotiation.
The idea
SecondSkin is a niche marketplace dedicated to safely connecting buyers and sellers from a specific community worldwide. The platform provides a secure space for transactions, fostering community and trust. We were tasked with migrating existing user data, implementing a custom design, and integrating advanced features.
What we built
We worked closely with SecondSkin on a comprehensive platform build including data migration and extensive customization:
- User and data migration Transferred all users and listings from Sharetribe Go to the new Sharetribe infrastructure without data loss or disruption
- Fully custom design Created a unique design reflecting the community's identity
- Multicurrency listings Users list items in various currencies, with exchange rates calculated via API for accurate pricing
- Shipping tracking Save and track shipping numbers via external tools
- International price negotiation Buyers and sellers negotiate across different currencies and regions
- SMS notifications Timely transaction updates via SMS
- Drag-and-drop multiple picture upload Simple process for uploading multiple images per listing
- Custom dashboard Users manage listings and transactions efficiently
The result
A highly functional marketplace catering to a specific global community. Successful data migration ensured continuity. Multicurrency listings and price negotiation broadened international reach. Shipping tracking and SMS notifications improved user confidence. Drag-and-drop uploads simplified listing creation.
