5 reviewers had the following to say about Arcadier's features:
Arcadier has truly revolutionised the e-commerce industry with their off-the-shelf marketplace templates. Our idea was to monetise excess tools and machinery by connecting suppliers who have excess machinery with buyers who need to rent such machinery.
Pros
Very user friendly on all fronts; marketplace site, admin portals etc.
Cons
Sometimes it is difficult to make more complex customisations using their off-the-shelf templates

Overall good. They are supportive and helpful. The customer support team are fairly responsive and most of the time are able to solve the issue or point you in the right direction.
Pros
It's easy to get started with and is affordable.
Cons
Simple things can be added via custom code, but as soon as you need a more robust feature that requires API, the cost skyrockets both due to the plan you need to be on and also the developers you need to hire.

Arcadier is a great platform for anyone looking to launch & test a marketplace MVP quickly & cost effectively. The end to end framework for a marketplace is taken care of so you can focus on building your business from day one, with the option to customise & add your own features allowing you to iterate & respond to your markets needs as you grow. We spent a lot of time researching marketplace platform offerings & ultimately chose Arcadier as it was best in market when we assessed cost effectiveness, speed to market & the richness of the features they offered. Highly recommend Arcadier if these factors are important to you!
Pros
- Ability to launch a marketplace MVP quickly and cost effectively - Professional looking & customisable look & feel that can be personalised - No coding required - Ability to customise & make small changes with custom coders cost effectively - Customer service is great
Cons
- The cost of developing any significant features via API

I tried Arcadier for my business and it was a disaster. Their customer support was horrific and features were severely limited. We spent more than a month trying to work with their dysfunctional support and tech group to get our simple site to function but eventually had to cancel the subscription. There were a series of failures that continued even after cancellation -- their exit form failed, a sales person who contacted me failed to follow-up. I thought bad customer service was out of fashion but not at Arcadier. Do not use this platform unless you have lots of time to waste.
Pros
We could not get the product to function despite a month of trying to work with their dysfunctional support department.
Cons
We could not get a simple marketplace to work and the support department was similarly dyfunctional.

I came across the idea to build a home furnishing marketplace as I felt that there is this gap in the market where consumers have a wider range of products they can choose from than they might think.
Pros
The best features that I like about Arcadier is the overall customisability of the platform as well as how you are able to scale your marketplace idea as it becomes more successful. You don't have to break the bank just to test your marketplace idea, it's a win-win situation for both!
Cons
With the array of features available to all of its users, you might sometimes feel that certain features are not needed in your marketplace. As such, the ability to turn on or off these features within the marketplace would come in handy!
