As audacious as it sounds, can I use this to build an MVP for a market like Etsy or eBay? I will then want to add very specific features that focus on the 18-29 demographic.
I don’t know coding but I’m very thrifty and can get things done, esp with AI copilot.
A: Hi, Yes it is possible to build an Etsy or eBay with the boilerplate. However it only helps with building the web app version, not an iOS or android version.
And remember, this boilerplate is best suited for users with technical knowledge.
There is a course on the Speed Build Marketplace site (https://www.speedbuildmarketplace.com/) that is the recommended path to take for non-technical...
Q: What questions and services developers need to know to create marketplace
I have purchase your product with the goal building marketplace for cattle and pork farmers and meat cutters I will hire someone from fiverr or upwork to build can you give me questions to ask so I know what to ask if the are qualified to build it and what do they need to know for your software thank you I bought tier 2 god bless appreciate all your help.
A: No, the course is not included in this deal. Only the boilerplate.
The boilerplate is for technical people - so you have to be technical to use the boilerplate.
The course is for none-technical people. The focus in the course is on learning how to build a marketplace using AI. So that is where it differs. But in order to build a marketplace using AI, you first have to know the basics of...
A: Hi 113457784789917036209, So, I think you are talking about one of the marketplaces that I built. So, basically with the boilerplate you can build any marketplace you would like. The boilerplate helps with all the basics that you will always need to build when building a marketplace, and then you basically just go from there and take your marketplace in any direction you would like.
Thanks for your reply! I appreciate the overview, but I’m still a bit confused. My question is specifically about the different ways to monetize a marketplace? Is it just product? Rentals? Service? My marketplace cost 50k and yours is 59 bucks I still can’t obtain insurance.
Usually the main way is via Stripe Connect. So you add a "marketplace fee" for every transaction. But you could also add other kinds of fees. Like maybe a "featured listing" fee, where that kind of listing would get a green border around it , making it more visible.
hi again 113457784789917036209, I checked out your marketplace - cool idea! I can see you are on the Sharetribe platform. So, the difference is that you are a bit locked in as it will be more difficult for you to make specific changes. Whereas using my boilerplate you will have more flexibility. Check my YouTube where I have some videos about the topic:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPF65h9uUeA
Q: user license
Does a 3-user license mean I can build three marketplaces, or that three people can build multiple marketplaces?
Q: Ambitious goals

Is this workable?
Thanks and all the best :)

Jun 13, 2025A: Hi,
Ok cool idea! And thank you for buying.
You should ask if they have worked with Next.js , React and MongoDB before.
And also if they have ever used Clerk for authentication before.
And of course, if they have built a marketplace before that would be great but not a necessity.

Q: user license
Does a 3-user license mean I can build three marketplaces, or that three people can build multiple marketplaces?
Rasmus_SpeedBuildMarketplace
Apr 24, 2025A: Hi Ray2023,
The latter.
3-user licenses means 3 Github accesses. And these 3 Github users can build multiple marketplaces.
