First of all, let's recall the principle of a marketplace. By definition, a marketplace is an online space where supply and demand meet. Buyers can purchase products and/or services from multiple sellers. The difference with an e-commerce platform lies in the multiplicity of the offer on the platform.
Among the functionalities of the marketplaces, we can find product or service search pages, offers and sellers presentation pages, payment and evaluation functionalities...
Marketplaces exist for all markets and the Bubble platform is a powerful tool to create custom marketplaces.
Let's take a closer look at some examples of successful marketplaces that have been developed on Bubble:
