Marketplace & membership platform development
We build multi-sided platforms with role-based access, listings, payments, and member-only content on Softr + Airtable. Whether you're launching a two-sided marketplace or a paid membership community, you get a live, revenue-ready platform in weeks — with Stripe payments and gated content handled from day one.
What is a no-code marketplace?
A no-code marketplace is a multi-sided platform — buyers, sellers, and admins — built without custom engineering. Listings, search, role-based access, Stripe payments, and gated member content are assembled on Softr + Airtable, so it launches in weeks rather than months and you own the data.
What you get
- Two-sided or multi-sided marketplace with distinct user roles
- Listings, search, and filtering your members can browse
- Stripe payments, subscriptions, and member-only gated content
- Application and approval flows for vetted communities
- Airtable back end you control, scalable to thousands of members
Who this is for
- Founders with both sides of a marketplace already lined up, who need the platform in the middle before the interest cools.
- Community and association operators charging for access and currently running it on a mix of Stripe, a spreadsheet, and goodwill.
- Anyone matching supply to demand by hand — introducing buyers to sellers over email and taking a cut on trust.
- Operators who need to prove the model works before committing to a custom-coded platform.
What we typically build
Two-sided marketplaces
Distinct buyer and seller roles, listings each side can manage, and the money flow between them handled by Stripe rather than by invoice.
Paid membership communities
Subscriptions, gated content tiers, and a member directory — with access revoked automatically when a subscription lapses.
Vetted and invite-only networks
Application forms, an approval queue your team works through, and access granted only once someone is actually approved.
Directories and talent pools
Searchable, filterable listings with the profile fields that matter to your niche, and the ability to charge for placement or contact.
What it costs
Marketplaces start at Portal Pro ($5,500, 3 weeks) when the model is one-sided or the payment flow is simple. Genuine two-sided platforms — marketplace logic, payouts to sellers, phased rollout — are Custom Build territory, from $9,000 across 4–8 weeks, which includes a dedicated project manager and 30 days of post-launch support.

Frequently asked questions
Can you handle payments and subscriptions?
Yes. We integrate Stripe for one-off payments, subscriptions, and marketplace payouts, and gate member-only content behind the right roles.
How many members can the platform support?
We structure the build to scale to thousands of users. Softr + Airtable comfortably handles that range, and we advise on plan tiers as you grow.
Can members apply and be approved before joining?
Yes — application and approval flows for vetted, invite-only, or paid communities are a standard part of the memberships we build.
