Hello everybody,
I just release a fully functional marketplace template with a lot of features that was actually an existing marketplace I made before turning it into a template.

Here is the link to the template where you can preview it:

I hope this will be helpful to many people, I really put my best into it :slight_smile:
I am releasing this template since we are closing our marketplace soon.
This templates thus contains a lot of features, and I recommend you to use it as teaching material or base to build your own marketplace.
It was specifically designed for organizing complex events such as exhibitions, etc. and is thus perfect for an eventbrite or similar platform, but many of these features are useful to any kind of marketplace, such as services like airbnb or any other rental service.

Our website had more than 1500 recurrent users and hosted more than 300 events, without any issue.
This template contains almost 50 different pages and more than 40 reusable elements.
Great care has been given to many small details to improve user experience.
You will surely find what you are looking for!

CONTEXT

This template was originally designed for organizers of selling events (such as christmas markets) and their exhibitors.
Organizers can publish events to which exhibitors can register.
When an exhibitor registers to an event, he can choose many different options, such as the size of his selling space, optional services, etc. all defined by the organizer when creating his event.
Each organizer can then refuse or accept the registration of each exhibitor to his event(s).
When an exhibitor is registered to an event, the organizer is paid and the marketplace takes a commission.
This marketplace took care of this whole process with many social features ike messaging, email & SMS notifications, reminders, custom alerts and newsletter, profile pages, community reviews, and much more.
