Sharetribe: When Sharetribe needed help building Sharetribe

The idea

Sharetribe provides a marketplace platform that’s easy to set up, maintain, and grow. They needed additional senior development capacity for their core product: the platform itself, which thousands of marketplaces rely on. Our team brought expertise in React, cloud-based APIs, Ruby on Rails, and JavaScript.

What we built

We have worked directly with Sharetribe’s development team for several years on their core system. Key contributions:

• Availability calendar Maintained the availability feature and worked on the Harmony migration, critical for rental and service marketplaces
• Stripe integration Integrated Stripe into the core platform alongside PayPal, providing secure and versatile payment options for a global user base
• Email layouts Created new server-side email layouts compatible with various email providers while maintaining consistent appearance
• Rails 5 upgrade Writing and passing tests, moving to latest patch version, fixing deprecated features, keeping the platform up-to-date and reliable
• Code refactoring Replaced EntityBuilders with ActiveModel classes, improving maintainability and performance of the internal structure
• Intercom integration Assisted with Intercom setup and event tracking, improving customer communication and support for marketplace administrators

The result

The availability calendar and Stripe integration improved user experience and payment flexibility across all Sharetribe marketplaces. The email redesigns improved consistent communication. Rails 5 upgrade and code refactoring enhanced stability and performance. Intercom integration improved customer support for marketplace administrators. These contributions benefit every marketplace running on Sharetribe GO. No other Sharetribe development partner has worked on Sharetribe’s own codebase. See Sharetribe at sharetribe.com
