Launch an ecommerce marketplace fast with a third-party web template built by Sharetribe Expert Journeyhorizon. The template includes features often needed by B2C and B2B product marketplaces, such as a shopping cart, seller discounts, and AI assisted product uploads. Marketplaces looking for these capabilities can use this template and work with Journeyhorizon to speed up their time to launch on Sharetribe.
Third-party templates are custom web or mobile codebases built by ecosystem developers. Templates offer unique design and capabilities from the standard Sharetribe-hosted offering already pre-built, so less time is needed for building custom features.
