MVP Marketplace App With Escrow
Budget: £250 – £750 GBP
Project Title:
Build MVP Marketplace App for Buying, Selling & Trading Fragrances (with Buyer Protection)
---
Project Overview:
I am looking for an experienced developer (or small team) to build an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) of a mobile-friendly marketplace app focused on fragrances (perfumes, colognes).
The platform will allow users to:
- Buy and sell fragrances
- Trade fragrances with other users using a matching system
- Use a secure payment system with buyer protection
This is an MVP, so the goal is to build a simple, functional version first, not a full-featured app.
---
Core Features Required:
1. User Accounts & Profiles
- Sign up / login (email + social optional)
- User profiles with basic info
- Verified user badge which is a paid service offers sellers higher listings views and trusted seller status(manual verification is fine for MVP)
---
2. Listings (Buy & Sell)
- Users can create listings with:
- Photos
- Description
- Price
- Condition
- Browse and search listings
- Save/favorite items
---
3. Trading System (Key Feature)
- Users can list items available for trade
- Users specify:
- What they are offering
- What they are looking for
- Matching system that connects users with compatible trade interests
- Basic messaging/chat between matched users
---
4. Messaging System
- In-app chat between users
- Used for both buying and trading discussions
---
5. Payments & Buyer Protection
- Integration with Stripe (preferred)
- Buyer pays through platform
- Payment is held until item is received (basic escrow-style flow)
- Ability to mark item as received
- Basic dispute/refund process (manual handling is OK for MVP)
---
6. Admin Panel (Basic)
- View users and listings
- Manage disputes manually
- Approve verified users
---
Tech Preferences (Flexible):
- Frontend: React / React Native or similar
- Backend: Node.js / Django or similar
- Payment: Stripe Connect (or similar marketplace payment solution)
---
What I’m Looking For:
- experience building marketplace apps (important)
- Experience with payment integration (Stripe or similar)
- Ability to advise on best/simple MVP approach
- Good communication and reliability
---
Nice to Have (Not Required for MVP):
- Shipping integration
- Rating/review system
- Advanced matching algorithm
---
Budget & Timeline:
- Looking for MVP build (budget open to proposals)
- Preferred timeline: 4–8 weeks
---
To Apply, Please Include:
1. Examples of similar marketplace apps you’ve built
2. Brief explanation of how you would approach this project
3. Estimated timeline and cost
4. Any suggestions to simplify/improve the process MVP
---
Goal:
Launch a working MVP quickly to test the idea, then expand features in future phases.
---
Looking forward to working with you!
