Hello, hope you’re all having a good evening! I am interested in setting up a marketplace and it’s not something I’ve done before (although we currently sell on marketplaces) and I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for platforms / the tech stack I’d need to create a new (easily usable) marketplace.

What are you hoping to sell?

Patrick Crowley February 20, 2025 at 08:20 PM

@Djulan Gémesi @Daniël would be great to talk to!

Nice - I’m friends with the guy who built LivingCozy. Not quite a marketplace but I’m sure he’d have some contacts if you’d like me to connect you?

Thank you @Patrick Crowley That would be great.

Hey Isobel!

We’re currently in the process of pivoting to a fully digital peer-to-peer marketplace. Our webshop is built on Shopify, but we haven’t made a final decision on which PIM software to use yet.

If you have any questions I’m happy to jump on a Quick call.

Hi Djulan, thank you. Yes, it would be great to schedule a call to chat about your discoveries. 😃

Hey would love to chat about this also. We have had our P2P marketplace live on and off over the past year. Off because we didn’t have resource to manage it. Our MVP has just been a form where sellers upload images on our website and then we create a product listing on shopify. So works like a normal Shopify product / transaction. Easy / good solsution to test traction but not ideal for managing in the long term
