Why work with us on your Sharetribe marketplace

Product experience since 2003, beyond Sharetribe

Most Sharetribe agencies know Sharetribe. We know Sharetribe AND since 2003 we've been building enterprise platforms, SaaS products, e-commerce systems, and complex web applications. Every marketplace is a business: your pricing model, onboarding flow, and growth strategy come from product experience, not from configuring a platform.

A team that's worked with Sharetribe directly

We've worked with Sharetribe's team since their early platform days, back when it was called Sharetribe Go. We understand how the platform works under the hood: faster debugging, better architecture, fewer surprises.

Ready-made extensions that save weeks

Shopping Cart, Wishlist, Bulk Upload, Social Login, AI Search, Multi-currency, Multi-language, Real-time Messaging, additional payment gateways, and more. Proven components built and refined across dozens of marketplace projects.

Senior attention on every project

A dedicated project manager who knows your marketplace, backed by senior developers with 7+ years of experience. Our founding team reviews every sprint and joins key conversations. You get real attention throughout, not only during the sales call.

Some of our 35+ extensions

Shopping Cart

Allow buyers to add multiple listings to a cart. This functionality enhances the shopping experience by making it easy for users to manage and purchase several items in one go, increasing sales and customer satisfaction.

File Sending via Messages

Support sending files, including videos, via the messaging system. Enhance communication between buyers and sellers by allowing them to share documents, images, and videos directly through the platform, streamlining the transaction process and building trust.

Wishlist

Enable users to mark listings as favourites for easy access. This feature lets customers save and revisit their preferred items, enhancing their shopping experience and increasing engagement.

Calculate and Display Average Reviews on Listings

Enhance listings with average review calculations and sorting options. Gather reviews, display them on the search page, and allow users to sort listings by top-rated providers, ensuring your customers find the best options quickly.

Change Order of Uploaded Listing Pictures

Allow users to reorder their listing images effortlessly. Instead of the hassle of re-uploading all pictures, users can easily drag and drop images to change the order, making the process seamless and user-friendly.

Password Strength Indicator

Implement password complexity requirements with visual indicators, helping users create stronger, more secure passwords and improving the overall security of your marketplace.

We think about your business, not only your features

We've been founders too, so we ask about your pricing, onboarding and growth before we talk about features.

01

We challenge your feature list before building it

Is this the right marketplace model? Will your users actually pay for this? Should you launch leaner and test demand first? We've built our own marketplace: we know what questions to ask because we've asked them about our own product.

02

Broader experience makes Sharetribe projects sharper

We migrated Betty Blocks from Ruby on Rails to Elixir for enterprise-scale performance. We've built legal tools for Karnov Group. That depth informs every decision on your marketplace: from pricing models to scaling architecture.

03

And if you ever outgrow Sharetribe: we're still here

Most marketplaces won't need this. Sharetribe can take you very far. But if the day comes when you need custom infrastructure, we build that too: Ruby on Rails, Next.js, Node.js, Elixir. We help you transition without starting over. You don't need to find a new team.

04

Our rule of thumb on platform vs. custom

If Sharetribe covers 80% of what you need, stay with Sharetribe and customize the rest. If it covers less than half, it might be time to consider a custom build. We'll tell you honestly which side of that line you're on.

Our first-sprint guarantee

If after the first sprint you don't feel like we're the right partner, we stop and don't invoice for that sprint.

If we're the wrong fit, we'll say so on the first call and point you to a better option.
