Sharetribe for services
Services & booking marketplaces built on Sharetribe
Classes, sessions, gigs, quotes, appointments. Service marketplaces need calendars, provider dashboards, and refund logic that actually matches how providers run their business. We build the operational layer on Sharetribe so both sides get a product that fits.
What we build
What a services marketplace needs from day one
The transaction is simple. The operations around it are not. These are the pieces we build most often for booking and services marketplaces.
Two-sided profiles & listing types
Providers and their services modelled as linked listing types. Browse the provider, book the class. Kids' activities, talent rosters, and photographer sessions all use this shape.
Session & appointment booking
Recurring classes, one-off sessions, roster limits, waitlists, and time-slot booking on top of Sharetribe's transaction engine.
Custom offers, quotes & bidding
Not every service has a fixed price. We build offer and counter-offer flows, reverse marketplaces where providers bid on jobs, and quote-to-book funnels.
Cancellation policies & refunds
Provider-set cancellation policies enforced automatically at cancellation time, plus custom refund flows on Sharetribe's Stripe integration so the platform stays in control.
Provider & customer dashboards
Purpose-built dashboards for each side: rosters, revenue, and refunds for providers; bookings, schedules, and receipts for customers.
Custom admin panel
Issue refunds, change commissions per location, track waitlist demand, and manage providers from a panel built for how your ops team actually works.

FAQ
Services & booking marketplaces: common questions
Sharetribe handles single bookings natively. Recurring sessions, seat counts, roster management, and waitlists are custom work we build on top of the transaction engine. KidHive is a live example.
