Service Marketplace DevelopmentWe build marketplaces
for booking people,
not just products.
In a service marketplace, people hire people — which makes trust the whole game. We build the profiles, booking and scheduling, payments and payouts, and the reputation layer that lets a customer confidently hire a stranger. Real software, owned by you.

What we buildBuilt for how services
actually get booked.
A service marketplace sells time and skill. We build for the trust, scheduling, and payouts that requires.
01
Provider profiles
Verified profiles and portfolios that let customers judge and choose.
02
Booking & scheduling
Slots, availability, and bookings when the service is time-based.
03
Payments & payouts
Take from customers, pay providers out, commission in between.
04
Ratings & trust
The reviews and track record that make hiring a stranger safe.
05
Owned by you
The full codebase and payout logic, no marketplace-SaaS lock-in.
When you sell people's time, trust is the whole product
A product marketplace sells things; a service marketplace sells a person's time and skill, and that difference changes the centre of gravity of the whole build. When a customer books a service, they are inviting a stranger to do something that matters to them — clean their home, fix their car, cut their hair, build their deck. The stakes are personal, so the bar for trust is far higher than for buying an object.
That is why the heart of a service marketplace is not the listing or the checkout — it is the trust layer. Verified provider profiles, portfolios, ratings and reviews, and a visible track record are what make a customer willing to hire someone they have never met. Without that, a beautiful service marketplace is just a list of strangers nobody will book.
So we build service marketplaces from trust outward. The profiles, the reputation, the verification come first, because they are what turn browsing into a booking. Everything else — search, scheduling, payment — serves that core act of one person deciding to trust another.
Money in the middleThe platform sits between the customer's payment and the provider's payout
A service marketplace usually has to do something a simple shop does not: take money from the customer, hold it, and pay the provider out after the job — often taking a commission in the middle. That is a genuinely more involved money flow than a single checkout, and it is where a lot of service marketplace builds get into trouble if it is treated as an afterthought.
We build this properly, typically on a payments platform that supports splitting payments and paying out to many providers, with the states to hold funds until a job is confirmed complete and to handle refunds and disputes cleanly. The exact model depends on your market — some pay out immediately, some hold until completion — but the platform has to be the trustworthy middle that both sides rely on.
This is core payments infrastructure, and we build it from the experience of running billing and payments in production ourselves, rather than discovering the edge cases live once real money is moving through your marketplace.
ProofWe run a marketplace built on verification and trust
The clearest proof we can offer on service marketplaces is that we build and run a marketplace whose whole supply side is vetted providers. sellyourboat.io is a Wall & Fifth venture: a platform carrying over 12,000 listings from more than 100 vetted brokers across 18 countries, built around verification, structured profiles, and trust — the same problems a service marketplace has to solve.
Operating it means we have made the real decisions a trust-heavy marketplace requires: how to vet the supply side, how to structure profiles so customers can judge them, how to build the reputation and tooling that keep good providers around. We made those calls with our own business on the line, so we build your service marketplace from operating experience.
We have also delivered platform work for busesforsale.com and europeanyachtbrokers.com. Trust-heavy marketplaces are the category we know best.
The buildProduction stack, fixed price, owned outright
Under every service marketplace we build is a real production stack: Next.js, React, and TypeScript, with PostgreSQL behind it, Stripe for payments and payouts, deployed properly. A service platform carries profiles, booking, scheduling, payouts, and trust on top of the usual two-sided surface area, so the foundations have to be solid — and we build them to be.
We build to a fixed price. From 16,000 GBP for a focused service marketplace MVP, from 30,000 GBP for a larger build with scheduling, payments and payouts, reviews, and provider tooling. Payment processing and any third-party usage is passed through to you at cost, never marked up.
And you own all of it: the full codebase, the payout logic, the data model, handed over on delivery. No marketplace-SaaS you keep paying, no licensing, no lock-in. Yours to run, change, and scale with us or any team you choose.
