Want To Create The Best Marketplace Software

So you have decided you build your proprietary eCommerce marketplace. Congratulations! Creating a marketplace is an incredibly adventurous experience and a journey full of learning. You must be familiarized with what you actually want to offer to the audience and more importantly who all will be the stakeholder of your application. Picking the right marketplace software is the most critical decision to take as it will decide how and where the major chunk of your budget will be spent. If a wrong decision is made, it can cost heavily and also the delay in the project.

Besides being an open-source platform, many of its crucial functionalities are not open to the full extent in freemium version. Pricing depends on the number of application users rather than the number of transactions happened on the portal. Therefore, a new venture which s not taking off may end up paying debts. 
Discounts and Coupons are the most amazing things that attract customers and such offers do increase sales. Sharetribe has no column to generate coupon codes and define discount rules. 

Sharetribe is a Content Management System which is fruitful to use only for certain business purpose. Using it for other purposes may do more harm than generating more revenue. If you are thinking to develop an eCommerce application that showcases uses an algorithm where suitable service provider based on the seller’s request is subjected to an end-user has to be made, then forget using Share Tribe. For example marketplace like Uber and Handy, cannot be created economically using Share tribe. In fact, if a user doesn't have access to Share tribe flex and still need to extend the functionality by leveraging open source code than the developer should have a good command of Ruby on Rails. This has constrained the technology stack to be used. 

It is also reported that Sharetribe is not very frequent in coming up with the upgrades of the existing features. Along with that, there is no column for custom development. If you as a store owner want to get a new feature you have to wait for other store owners to request for the same feature from Sharetribe to get it built. The core development team of this platform don’t entertain individual queries and concerns in term of features development. Also, since it a closed source Saas, getting features developed through the third party is also not feasible.

Additionally, there is no provision of bulk upload of products in an inventory or the storefront is using Sharetribe. This could be a very tedious and monotonous task for a vendor or administrator to individually upload products and add description and images. It is still impossible for a vendor with hundreds of products to import .csv file or other format files to list products. Something which is a great turn off for many store owners is that they don’t support customization of the checkout flow. A shorter checkout process eases out the buying process of the customer as they refrain from entering the personal details like name and address again and again.
