Sharetribe's platform makes it easy to develop and deploy a robust marketplace quickly.

Sharetribe provides a hosted marketplace platform, including PayPal and Stripe payment gateways, that my company eXcesS Capacity leverages to rapidly develop, deploy and market a web property where businesses rent, sell and buy underutilized resources.

PROS

Sharetribe's marketplace platform incorporates essential functionality such as workflow, listing customization, notifications, PayPal and Stripe payment gateways, ratings and reviews, and much more. Sharetribe's customer support is very knowledgeable and responsive to my questions and requests. The Sharetribe Marketplace Academy is informative about how marketplaces should be built, deployed and marketed.

CONS

While there are gaps in functionality, the features provided with a product that has evolved since 2008 are rich. Sharetribe support is interested and responsive to its users enhancement suggestions.

Sharetribe is a great platform

Sharetribe is a really interesting platform and their customer service is out of this world! I would recommend it especially if you are planning on creating a services or rental marketplace. multi-vendor retail is a little tricky in some areas but they're adding features all the time and are receptive to requests (although requests are always subject to development demand and timelines, of course). Considering the quick set up, amazing customer support and tutorials available, I would highly recommend giving it a try to see if it will work for your unique marketplace.

PROS

Sharetribe's customer service is amazing: quick (despite timezone differences), friendly and solution focused. The initial set up is guided via a checklist for different areas of your marketplace and is very easy to follow. The look is pretty clean and the filter features are built in and really powerful. There are a lot of tutorials and supporting documents available if you're trying to figure out something new and if you still have trouble, they're always happy to help. There are also a lot of case study examples of Sharetribe marketplaces out there so you can really see what's possible for what you're trying to do.

CONS

I found that since my marketplace focuses on peer to peer sales (not rental or service based), I ran into some features that weren't available or possible to implement on Sharetribe. There is a lot of customization possible but there were a few things that I felt were important for the specific result I was looking for that made it difficult for me. Despite this, I have had a great experience with Sharetribe and they helped me launch my initial marketplace which has been essential in my business growth.

Reason for choosing sharetribe

The ease of initial set up was certainly a huge draw but mostly, the people I interacted with at Sharetribe were easy to communicate with and I felt like they understood my questions and concerns. They were able to respond in a way that made Sharetribe feel like a safe place to begin despite not having any experience with building a marketplace.

CONS

Vendor Response

Hi Scott, thanks for your candid feedback. Our approach to building marketplaces is that there's a set of features available without coding, but if you want a specific unique feature that is not available out of the box, you can add it with custom code or hire a developer to do it. I do understand that it can be frustrating that you need to pay extra to a developer for a feature you feel should be available out of the box. I'm also really about the temporary loss of the content you had added to your content pages. Sharetribe account has multiple "environments" (one for live marketplace, one for testing, and one for development), and you can move data between them, which can cause data from one environment to be overwritten with data from another, and in some cases it's not possible to retrieve the overwritten data. We do have heavy warning popups to prevent this, but we could clearly do more. Luckily our engineers were able to recover your lost data. Juho Makkonen CEO, Sharetribe

Love Sharetribe

Great experience. Custom support is very responsive.

PROS

It was a perfect way to de-risk our project. We used Marketplace Studio from their partner list for custom development. Started out using 90% Sharetibe functionally and as we found product market fit and kept building out features, we are now using 10% Sharetibe.

CONS

We can honestly say that there was not much that we didn't like. We have spent $11,000,000 building out the last custom marketplace, so using Sharetribe was an absolute game changer for us.

Reason for choosing sharetribe

Sharetibe completely focuses on marketplaces, which are not easy.

Sharetribe - HELPED DURING COVID-19 - Give them your business!

The thing that really stood out to our team of 20 remote volunteers was the customer service that Antti from sharetribe offered us. During COVID-19 it is a very difficult time for all businesses but the team at Sharetribe were enthusiastic to help and really took the time to understand our product. They even geared up for a national TV spot we were promised but that never happened.... upping their servers and giving us advice on some scaling challenges with our manual approval process.

PROS

This is incredibly easy software to deploy for any kind of two sided marketplace. Especially useful for a team that includes non technical people. We used the GO & FLEX versions and found them simple, intuitive and that the support was really exceptional for when we were figuring out how to use it initially and for all our out of the box queries.

CONS

We think the auto response on emails - when a listing is not approved. Would like to customise this, but it's a small thing and you can always find a work around (we did with Sharetribe's assistance).

Reason for choosing sharetribe

Sharetribe came recommended and we knew they ran software for universities, and so had a good level of security. They were relatively established and we knew they wouldn't shut down and take our project, customers and service with them.
