Execution

T House built the Bikerbnb platform on Sharetribe GO (OpenSource version) and has been continuously developing it in close collaboration with the client. This ongoing development has included several unique features tailored to the needs of bikers.

Key features implemented include:

  1. Sublistings Under Main Listings: Developed the ability to add sublistings (parent listings), allowing hotel owners to list multiple rooms under a single property.
  2. Custom Pricing Model: Adapted the pricing model to accommodate variable rates based on weekdays, holidays, and bank holidays, ensuring flexible and accurate pricing.
  3. Improved Search Logic: Enhanced the search functionality to provide more accurate and relevant results for users.
  4. Stripe Limitations and Integration: Addressed Stripe limitations and integrated the payment gateway to handle transactions efficiently.
  5. Availability Calendar: Updated the availability calendar to provide clear and accurate booking information.
  6. Discounting Model: Added a discounting model to offer special rates and promotions.
  7. Blogging and Landing Page: Developed a blogging feature and a dynamic landing page to engage users and provide valuable content.

These enhancements have made Bikerbnb a unique and user-friendly platform, specifically designed to cater to the needs of motorcyclists.

Project Results

The collaboration between IT House and Bikerbnb has resulted in a robust and specialized marketplace that effectively serves the biker community. The addition of sublistings, custom pricing models, and an improved search function have significantly enhanced the platform’s usability and appeal.

The integration of Stripe for payments, an updated availability calendar, and a discounting model have streamlined the booking process, making it easier for users to find and book accommodations. The blogging feature and landing page have further engaged the community, providing useful content and fostering a sense of connection among users.

Bikerbnb now stands out as a reliable and user-friendly platform, helping bikers find motorcycle-friendly accommodations and making their journeys more comfortable and enjoyable.
