Create Your Online Marketplace
Build the next Airbnb, Uber, or Etsy. Fabricate helps you create two-sided marketplaces with sellers, buyers, listings, and transactions - all with AI, no coding required.
Connect service providers with customers. Think Thumbtack, TaskRabbit, or Upwork.
Let sellers list products for buyers. Like Etsy, eBay, or niche vertical markets.
Short-term or long-term rentals for spaces, equipment, or vehicles.
Connect businesses with suppliers, contractors, or partners.
Complete seller pages with listings, reviews, and contact information.
Easy listing creation with photos, descriptions, pricing, and availability.
Help buyers find what they need with powerful search and category filters.
Handle payments, bookings, and order workflows automatically.
Build trust with user-generated reviews and ratings.
Built-in messaging between buyers and sellers.
Marketplaces are among the most complex applications to build. They require serving two distinct user types simultaneously, each with different needs, permissions, and workflows. Buyers want to discover, evaluate, and purchase. Sellers want to list, manage, and get paid. Building the infrastructure to serve both groups with a great experience has historically required significant engineering investment.
Fabricate generates the complete marketplace infrastructure from a single description. This includes the dual-role authentication system, seller onboarding flows with profile creation and verification, listing management with image uploads, buyer search and filtering, shopping cart and checkout with Stripe Connect for split payments, and an admin panel for marketplace operators to manage disputes and quality.
The payment layer is where marketplace development gets technically complex. Stripe Connect enables marketplaces to collect payments from buyers, take a platform fee, and distribute the remainder to sellers. Setting this up correctly requires understanding connected accounts, transfer webhooks, payout schedules, and dispute handling. Fabricate generates the correct Stripe Connect integration pattern automatically.
Trust mechanisms are essential for marketplace success. Buyers need confidence that sellers deliver what they promise, and sellers need protection against bad actors. Fabricate generates review and rating systems, seller verification flows, and dispute resolution workflows that are appropriate for your marketplace category.
Key performance indicators to track for your project.
Track the total value of transactions processed through your marketplace. Early-stage marketplaces should target $10K-50K GMV in the first 3 months to validate demand.
Measure what percentage of registered sellers create at least one listing within 7 days. Healthy marketplaces achieve 40-60% seller activation rates.
Monitor how many registered buyers complete at least one purchase. Target 15-25% conversion from registration to first transaction.
Track how many buyers return for a second transaction. A repeat rate above 30% indicates strong marketplace value and product-market fit.
Measure the ratio of successful transactions to total listings. High liquidity means buyers find what they need and sellers make sales consistently.
Follow these steps to build your project with Fabricate.
Choose a specific category and geographic focus. Successful marketplaces start narrow and expand. Target an underserved niche where you can build liquidity quickly.
Map out what sellers list, how buyers discover items, and how transactions complete. Describe this flow to Fabricate including pricing models, booking mechanics, and payment splits.
Start with the supply side. Ask Fabricate to create seller profiles, listing creation, and management dashboards. You need sellers before you can attract buyers.
Build search, filtering, and the purchase flow. Include Stripe Connect for split payments with your platform fee. Test the complete buyer journey from search to payment.
Add reviews, ratings, seller verification, and dispute resolution. These trust mechanisms are critical for marketplace adoption and retention.
Onboard your first 20-50 sellers manually. Ensure enough supply exists before marketing to buyers. Monitor early transactions closely for quality issues.
Fabricate generates a complete freelance marketplace with Stripe Connect split payments, dual-role authentication for buyers and sellers, listing and order management, an in-app messaging system, and a review system with rating aggregation.
Build a freelance services marketplace like Fiverr. Include seller profiles with portfolios and reviews, service listings with packages (basic, standard, premium) and pricing, buyer search with filters (category, price, rating, delivery time), Stripe Connect for payment with 15% platform fee, order management with status tracking, a messaging system between buyers and sellers, and a review system after order completion.
“Building a marketplace from scratch would have cost us $150k and six months. Fabricate gave us a working prototype in a week. We pivoted three times based on user feedback before we had spent even a fraction of that.”
