What Sharetribe is
Sharetribe is software for creating and running online marketplaces. Its no-code builder lets founders set up a marketplace with profiles, listings, search, transactions, messaging, reviews, bookings and availability tools. Live marketplaces can accept online payments through Sharetribe. Developers can connect third-party applications or custom backends using the Integration API, Events and single sign-on. Integrations include Stripe, Zapier, Google Analytics, Plausible, Google login and Facebook login. Sharetribe hosts the marketplace backend and infrastructure; customers who use custom code host their own frontend. The service supports responsive web marketplaces and iOS and Android apps through wrappers, templates or custom development. Plans include 1M usage credits per month, with additional use billed separately. Digital-download listings can hold up to ten files, with a 1GB limit per file.
