Service Marketplace Platform Development - 31/08/2026 19:10 EDT

I’m ready to turn my concept for a services-only marketplace into a production-ready platform and I’m looking for someone who can take it from wireframe to launch. The site will let providers publish service listings, set prices or packages, and communicate with buyers through an internal message system. On the buyer side, users should be able to search, filter, book, and pay without ever leaving the platform. An integrated payment flow with multiple options is essential. At minimum the checkout must accept credit/debit cards, PayPal, and one local e-wallet, all routed through a PCI-compliant gateway with the flexibility to add new methods later via API. Escrow or milestone-based release functionality will be a bonus if you’ve implemented it before. I’ll need: • Responsive front end (React, Vue, or similar) tied to a well-structured back end (Node, Laravel, Django—your strength decides). • Provider and buyer dashboards with real-time order status, cancellations, reviews, and dispute tickets. • Admin console for user management, fee settings, category controls, and payout scheduling. • Clean, well-documented code and a short hand-off session so I can manage day-to-day operations after launch. If you have prior marketplace experience, especially around secure multi-option payments, let’s talk timelines and milestones.
