This project was different than your usual web design & development project, in the sense that a complex backend had to be implemented and tackled with. This is a MVP Marketplace, meaning that I had to set up the ability for vendors to sign up, complete their profiles, and post their service(s). Moreover, the payment gateway had to be completed using Stripe Connect.

The #1 skill that was needed to complete this project and make everything work as expected was problem solving. When working with a complex project like this, you have to tackle a lot of things, from a lot of different perspectives.

The marketplace works as expected:

The vendor can:

Create an account

Customize the account

Post a service

Have a detailed description of the service

Withdraw using Bank Account, Paypal, or Stripe

Filter services by category, city, or both

Search for a specific service

Send a message to the vendor before buying

Buy a service either as a guest or a logged-in user

Verify and approve vendor accounts

Verify and approve services

See the chats between clients and vendors

Withdraw the vendor selling tax as expected (through Stripe Connect)
