Sharetribe Farm Equipment Rental Marketplace

Job ID: 40612367

Budget: €1,500 – €3,000 EUR

Project Overview:
I need a peer-to-peer rental marketplace for agricultural equipment (tractors, harvesters, implements, etc.) built on Sharetribe. Equipment owners list their machinery for rent; renters browse, book, and pay through the platform. Payments handled via Stripe (Stripe Connect).

Priority: fast launch with a clean, template-based setup. I want a working MVP close to Sharetribe's standard rental template — not a heavily custom build. Simplicity and speed over complexity.

Platform:
- Built on Sharetribe (no-code / SaaS version preferred for speed).
- Standard Sharetribe rental transaction flow.
- Stripe Connect for payments (built-in Sharetribe integration).

Core Features (MVP scope):
1. User accounts — sign-up/login for both owners (lessors) and renters, single account type that can do both.
2. Listings — equipment owners can create listings with:
- Photos, title, description
- Custom fields: equipment type/category, brand/model, power (HP), year, location
- Pricing per day (and/or per hour/week)
- Availability calendar
3. Search & filters — by category, location, price, availability, equipment type.
4. Booking flow — renters select dates, request/book, standard Sharetribe booking process.
5. Payments via Stripe Connect — renter pays, platform takes a commission, payout to owner. Include security deposit handling if available out-of-the-box.
6. Reviews & ratings — mutual reviews after completed rentals.
7. Messaging — built-in buyer/seller messaging.
8. Commission — platform commission on each transaction (I'll specify %).
9. Basic branding — logo, colors, landing page text, custom domain connection.

Design:
- Use Sharetribe's standard template design with light branding (logo, color scheme, landing content).
- No custom UI/UX design needed for MVP. Clean and functional.

What I will provide:
- Sharetribe account (or you set it up and transfer ownership).
- Logo and brand colors.
- Category list and custom field requirements.
- Stripe account details.
- Domain name.

Deliverables:
1. Fully configured, working Sharetribe marketplace.
2. Stripe Connect payments live and tested (test transaction demonstrated).
3. Custom fields, categories, and search filters configured.
4. Branding applied + custom domain connected.
5. A completed test booking end-to-end (listing → booking → payment → payout).
6. Short handover doc / walkthrough on how to manage the marketplace.

Requirements for Freelancer:
- Proven experience with Sharetribe (please share previous Sharetribe marketplaces you've built — links).
- Experience configuring Stripe Connect on Sharetribe.
- Ability to set up custom fields and rental transaction flows.
- Clear communication in English.

Timeline & Budget:
- Target: MVP launch within [2–4 weeks].
- Please provide: your estimated timeline, fixed price (or hourly + estimate), and relevant portfolio links.

Questions for Applicants (please answer in proposal):
1. Have you built rental/booking marketplaces on Sharetribe before? Share examples.
2. Do you recommend Sharetribe's no-code version or the Developer Platform (Web Template) for this scope, and why?
3. Any limitations I should know about regarding security deposits or per-hour pricing on Sharetribe?
4. Your estimated timeline and total cost.

Note: If deeper customization is needed later (custom design, non-standard payment logic, extra features), I may extend scope to Sharetribe Developer Platform (Web Template, React/Node). Please indicate if you also have experience with the Developer Platform and Web Template customization.
