How Nanny Network turned their service business into a digital platform for parents.
“As a small business, we needed to use a tool that could grow with us, which Softr offers. After wasting time and money on other marketplace builders, Softr saved the day. What stood out for me was that they had a real startup mentality. We could learn along the way and adapt when we need to. It's perfect - easy to use even for a non-technical person like me.” 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Frequently asked questions about marketplace website builders
A marketplace builder is software that allows you to create an online marketplace, like eBay, to connect buyers and sellers in one place. The best online marketplace builders are no-code, so anyone can use them. The backend is already created, and the front-end is customized with templates and pre-built design elements. Marketplace software may also include payment gateway integrations and automations.
An e-commerce website normally offers products from a single vendor, whereas a marketplace (like Amazon) offers products and services from multiple vendors. The marketplace owner typically provides and manages the platform, but does not sell products themself. However, e-commerce is often understood as a subset of the marketplace so the terms may be used interchangeably.
A multi-vendor website is an online marketplace platform where different vendors sell products and services to buyers, like Etsy. Multi-vendor websites can also be B2C, like Amazon, or B2B. For example, a marketplace that connects workers with companies that want to hire them.
To easily build your online marketplace with Softr begin to 1. Duplicate the Softr template, 2. Review the page settings and user groups. 3. Connect your marketplace to Airtable, 4.
