Sharetribe Plugins
Our advanced Wishlist feature is designed to enhance the shopping experience and drive engagement on your marketplace. By integrating this feature, you can offer a more personalized and user-friendly environment for your buyers, while also providing valuable insights and opportunities for your sellers.
Our Single Vendor Shopping Cart feature is engineered to optimize the shopping experience and simplify transaction processes on your marketplace.

This streamlined approach addresses the limitations of the current system, where users can only select one product per payment.

By enabling bulk uploads with multi-field product listings, you empower vendors to manage their inventories more effectively, leading to a more dynamic and responsive marketplace.

This plugin enables teams to work more efficiently and effectively, improve overall productivity and marketplace success.

This powerful tool automates the menu creation process, ensuring your website remains up-to-date and easy to navigate.
Custom Features
Here are a few of the custom features we have implemented for our clients
Reverse Marketplace
Let your buyers post their job and have marketplace sellers quote on the job. Once accepted by the buyer, manage the delivery transaction between the buyer and the seller.
Subscription Listings
Let your sellers create listings that are recurring subscriptions rather than one time rentals or purchases.
Membership Subscriptions
Create a SaaS marketplace by adding recurring membership subscriptions for your sellers and or buyers. This includes subscribe, upgrade, downgrade and cancellations.
Transaction Deposit
Let your sellers take a security deposit for their listing. Refund of the deposit is then fully customisable based on your marketplace rules.
Transaction Refunds
Define and manage global refund policies for your marketplace. Full or partial refunds. Even let your sellers define their own refund policy.
Multi-Category Transaction Ratings
Sharetribe supports a 5-star rating for the transaction out of the box. Extend this to include multiple categories such as quality, timeliness, communication.
Average Transaction and User Ratings
Calculate the average rating for the listing and/or the User.
Negotiated price transactions
Let the buyer and seller in your marketplace negotiate over the price and other terms of the transaction. Buyers can make offers and sellers can make counter offers. Offers can include more attributes than price such as date or terms.
Multiple bookings in a single checkout experience
Allow your buyers to complete multiple bookings in a single check-out transaction. Useful when your buyer needs to book 5 training sessions with their coach.
Shopping cart
Allow your buyers to add listings to their shopping cart. On checkout, split baskets by seller, or checkout with a single basket if you have a custom payout provider.
Complex Transaction pricing
Allow your sellers to include additional items and add-ons during the checkout process. Integrate with delivery and drop-shipping partner APIs to automatically calculate shipping fees.
Integration with Intercom
Superpower your marketplace with Intercom.io. Powerful customer engagement, onboarding and support options. Intercom.io helps you manage ongoing engagement and support for both sides of your marketplace.
Integration with Twilio
Make use of Twilios set of APIs to enable real-time messaging between buyers and sellers. Send messages via SMS, OR enable real-time messaging in the Flex transaction pages.
Integration with Zoom
Let your sellers deliver their services over Zoom. Integrate Zoom session into the transaction processes.
Integration with Vonage
Vonage, like Twilio provides communication APIs. If you want to build your own version of Zoom and have it tightly integrated into your marketplace this would be the option.
Integration with Sendbird
Similar to Twilio and Vonage, Sendbird is another real-time chat and messaging platform that you can integrate into your marketplace.
Integration with Jitsi
A commercial open-source video conferencing platform. This could be a good choice for your marketplaces video conferencing needs.
Custom CMS integration - Strapi, Prismic
Sharetribe has its own headless CMS and it is improving. Strapi.io and Prismic.io are very mature content management systems that can be integrated into Sharetribe. If you have very heavy content management requirements in addition to your marketplace, integrating a specialized headless CMS is the way to go.
Custom Payment and Payout Providers
We can integrate any number of Payment providers for your marketplace, Braintree, Paypal, Stripe..the list seems to be endless. Then we can use any number of payout providers such as Payoneer, Transferwise, Stripe or Paypal for you to pay your sellers. It is more work, but endlessly flexible.
Crypto Payment and Payouts
Love web3 and crypto-currency. We can pretty much use any of the mature crypto platforms out there to enable buyers to use crypto for payments and sellers to take crypto as payouts.
Sharetribe Mobile App
We were one of the first to build a mobile app ontop of Flex API. We make use of ReactNative for Hybrid app development OR we wrap and publish your marketplace to mobile. There are pros and cons to both depending on what you need to do.
Coupons and Vouchers
Depending on your needs we can build simple coupon and voucher system for your marketplace or you can integrate a third-party product like Voucherify.
Integration with Car telemetry, GPS
Yes we have even integrated a marketplace transaction process with Car Telementry systems to track where the rented cars go when on hire.
Integration with third-party insurance provider
Depending on the capability of your insurance provider we will be able to integrate key parts of the transaction process with your insurance providers API.
Digital Products and Documents
Allow your buyers and sellers to upload documents as part of their listing or transaction process. This allows marketplaces that are selling digital products to have them delivered and available with the security of marketplace escrow.
Rich Text Editor for Listing Fields
Allow your sellers to use a rich text editor to add formatting to their listing data.
One time password via SMS
Increase the security and identity verification of your users by adding one time password capability to your Sharetribe Marketplace sign-up and sign-in. We will help you pick an SMS or external authenticator app and integrate with the sign-in process.
Image classification using machine learning
The price of machine learning and AI technology is coming down and can be used in numerous ways in your marketplace. If you have an idea we are very confident we can find a way to train a machine learning model and have it assist you in your marketplace.
We have already implemented machine learning technology to assist with evaluation of the images added to listings in a marketplace. This can significantly reduce the burden on your administrators.
