The situation
The founder had a half-built marketplace with broken search, payments that didn't work, and hosts who couldn't manage their listings. Been stuck for 4 months.
What we fixed
We rebuilt the database from scratch with proper relationships, fixed the search with filters and map integration, implemented Stripe Connect for host payouts, and built clean host/guest dashboards.
- Rebuilt data relationships from scratch
- Fixed filtered and map-based search
- Implemented Stripe Connect for host payouts
- Built clean host and guest dashboards
Technical challenge
The two-sided payment flow required Stripe Connect with split payouts, platform fees and proper accounting for host earnings — all on a marketplace that had to work for both first-time guests and returning hosts.
The result
Launched with 200+ properties in month one. Hosts earned first bookings within 48 hours. Now processing $30k+/month in transactions.
Got a marketplace that's almost finished but still stuck?
