Gaming Marketplace MVP App
Budget: €2 – €6 EUR
Project Description:
I am looking for a full-stack developer (or a small team) to build an MVP for a specialized C2C gaming marketplace for the European market. The app will focus on buying, selling, and swapping video games with automated metadata and secure payments.
Key Features to Implement:
Smart Cataloging: Integration with IGDB API. Users must be able to scan a barcode (EAN) to auto-fill game details (Title, Console, Publisher, Year, and Market Value).
Secure Payments (Stripe Connect): Implementation of an escrow system. The platform holds the funds until the buyer confirms the item's condition. Must support automated split payments (Seller's payout + Platform commission).
Trade/Swap Engine: A dedicated system where users can propose "Game A + Cash" for "Game B" based on real-time market data.
Logistics Integration: Automated shipping label generation (API integration with SendCloud, InPost, or DPD).
Chat & Profiles: Real-time chat for negotiation and a trust-based rating system.
Technical Requirements:
Frontend: Cross-platform (Flutter or React Native).
Backend: Node.js, Python (FastAPI/Django), or similar.
Database: PostgreSQL or Firebase with efficient caching to minimize API costs.
UI/UX: Clean, "gamer-centric" design, optimized for mobile.
What I am looking for:
Someone with proven experience in Stripe Connect (Escrow/Marketplace flows).
Experience with third-party API integrations (IGDB, Shipping providers).
Ability to provide a scalable architecture and a clear timeline for the MVP.
Please provide:
Examples of previous marketplace or fintech apps you’ve built.
A preliminary estimate for the MVP development (Phases & Cost).
Your preferred tech stack for this project.
