In their own words
MarketplaceKit
MarketplaceKit is a platform for building marketplaces for products, rentals, bookings, or listings where buyers contact sellers. Owners can charge transaction commissions, listing fees, and membership fees. Product listings can have multiple variants; bookings can use dates, nights, or time slots. The platform includes direct messaging, listing moderation, and controls for approving members before they post or browse. Users can upload images, video, and PDFs, with generated thumbnails and AI-powered image cropping. To shape a marketplace, owners can use custom HTML, CSS, snippets, and a homepage page builder. MarketplaceKit is available on the web and through self-hosting, with Android and iOS apps buildable using its API. Integrations listed include Stripe, MailChimp, Paystack, InstaMojo, and offline payments. The free Community Edition is self-hosted and lighter than the hosted service, with no customer support. Hosted plans start at $15/month; hosted customers receive daily database backups downloadable from the browser.
