Industries we serve
Rental marketplaces
Whether it’s vehicles, vacation properties, equipment, tools, or even luxury fashion, a well-designed rental platform offers seamless booking, transparent pricing, and secure payments. With Sharetribe marketplace development, we create tailored rental experiences where users can browse availability, communicate directly with owners, and manage flexible rental durations — all while you, as the platform owner, benefit from streamlined processes and automated fee collection.
Service marketplaces
From coaches and consultants to local tradespeople and creative freelancers, we build Sharetribe platforms that allow service providers to create rich profiles, showcase their skills, and offer structured booking options. Features like advanced search filters, chemistry calls (free intro meetings), and session-based pricing make service marketplaces intuitive for both sides, helping to build trust and increase successful transactions.
Product marketplaces
Sharetribe offers a flexible foundation for diverse e-commerce ecosystems. If you’re building a platform for handmade goods, second-hand fashion, or specialized niche products, we ensure your marketplace supports product variations, flexible shipping options, and multi-vendor inventory management.
Event marketplaces
Event planning is a complex process with multiple stakeholders — venues, caterers, entertainers, equipment rentals, and more. With a custom Sharetribe marketplace, we bring these parties together in one convenient platform. Users can search for available vendors by date, service type, or location, request quotes, and book instantly. As Sharetribe developers, We also incorporate cancellation policies, video consultation options, and integrated messaging tools to ensure every booking goes smoothly.
Niche & specialized marketplaces
Some marketplaces cater to unique or highly specialized audiences, from wellness platforms that connect clients with holistic practitioners to marketplaces for buying and selling rare collectibles. These niche platforms benefit from deep customization, including advanced search filters, specialized booking flows, or industry-specific profile fields. With Sharetribe’s design and Roobykon’s development expertise, we create marketplaces that speak directly to your niche audience.
