sharetribe Features

Quite easy to set up if you have little technical knowledge.

In the past 8 months, I have received misleading advice, I have been told a number of things are possible with Sharetribe Go using custom script, then after speaking with five separate developers, I now realise that this is in fact untrue. On numerous occasions, I have had to chase multiple times for a response, because apparently my emails randomly went into their spam folder. I have also received...

Simplicity, security and scalability of the platform. payment gateways are easy to configure. creating managing categories is easy. Availability calendar is best suitable for booking marketplace. Feedback system allows users to leave feedback to build trust. Sharetribe is great for someone who wanted to test the minimum viable product marketplace idea and scale it further.

lack of API's and custom themes. Bulk upload products would be good for large inventory. lack of third party plugins third party plugins

Sharetribe is very easy to use for anyone, and offers a great and extremely friendly customer support.

I wish it could also provide an automatic invoicing system, including local VAT. And a personalized application form.

I started using Sharetribe in late 2016, since then 3 things have made me stick with it: 1) easy sign-up. The no.1 thing I cared about was the signup process for my users, which is really easy and fast. Testing your idea without an easy to use software would be impossible. 2) functionality. Initially, the product was much more limited but the team is rolling out new features constantly. 3) no lock ins. By the time you decide to move to a customized solution, your database comes along

- Functionality upgrades are not very fast. If you need something specific you need to pray that other admins will need it in order for Sharetribe to build it - pricing is expensive, semi-annual billing offers a good reduction but pricing could be based on transactions (use of the product), not on user signup.

- Very intuitive and nice looking (simple, yet all all necessary features to convince your customer) - Powerful payment system(s) integrated (Stripe & PayPal) - Robust: neither admins nor users can make mistakes when using it

- Customization possibilities are very limited (including branding, especially of the outgoing emails) - Open source version does not contain the most crucial elements - Pricing is driven by number of users rather than by number of transactions. So you may end up paying a lot even if the business is not taking off

Great out-of-the-box functionality Most required features built-in Fast launching time for P2P marketplaces Easy Stripe integration Free Community version can handle modifications and APIs

Expensive FLEX version may not be suitable for startups Unable to integrate third party plugins with GO version Unable to change P2P sharing type and structure Unable to modify Stripe account

Easy set up. Great customer support. Free 30-day trial. Reasonable pricing. Lots of tutorials to get started. Great articles in the Sharetribe Academy to help you grow your community and business.

Limited customisation features. Access to <script> tag to write custom javascript code allows some customisation, but it is not ideal because the code has to be constantly tested and regularly updated with evolutions of the core Sharetribe code, and furthermore this option is reserved for developers. Limited marketing features to interact with client database. Limited payment gateways.

Sharetribe is by far the best platform to build a marketplace MVP with. I've built 10+ marketplaces with the platform and even Studiotime, Airbnb of music studios. It's still on Sharetribe and has been modified as we've scaled to suit the needs of our marketplace

Lack of API (right now) so customization and modifying can be a bit tricky, but certainly is possible.

Sharetribe's best asset: the trading side of the marketplace is sorted! We didn't have to worry about how to connect sellers and buyers, or any of the tough stuff like $$ transactions, commission, or privacy & security around transations etc.

We ended up opting for a custom solution instead of Sharetribe (after a good year of defining our strategy and goals with Sharetribe), purely because we needed some specific functionality for our marketplace. Limitations were also in the content manager, and sorting / display abilities within products offered.

The cost is very low. It's very easy to use and configure. The team support is really nice and reactive.

It's still impossible to import a .csv file or other format to create listings in one shot. I have some customers who have hundreds of listings to create but of course they don't want to create it manually!

variety of Features can be used for several different Marketplaces and products great, super fast, Support great value for a limited amount of money

somewhat inflexible (payment methods, Change Content of autmatic e-mails, etc.) design could be better and more modern

Easy to start with, no coding skills needed. I like the ''FAQ'' section that helps me to implement needed features for example Stripe and Facebook etc.

It would be great to have possibility to fix the landing page by myself, so that it would not be necessary to make a specific order to Sharetribe. I am willing to pay for customized landing page, but building it myself would make the process more fluent.

Sharetribye has a friendly dashboard and easy useful

The website personalization is a little poor

Is so easy and convenience to use. Customer experience is good and pictures and images can be downloaded easily.

I can only add things and content on top and not much flexibility. The arrangement of most of the things is fixed
