Looking for a Marketplace Boilerplate or Framework in Wasp!
Hi everyone!
I'm excited to dive into building a marketplace SaaS using Wasp and wanted to reach out to see if anyone here has:
Access to a "Marketplace" version of the Wasp boilerplate, or
Has already built a marketplace SaaS framework in Wasp and is willing to share their work.
Having an existing framework would really help me get straight to the design and customization phases without starting from scratch. If you've developed something similar or know where I can find resources or repositories related to this, I'd greatly appreciate your assistance!
Feel free to share any links, tips, or even offer to collaborate. Thanks in advance for your support!

Hi @ein. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

Based on the knowledge sources provided, I don't have specific information about a marketplace boilerplate or framework for Wasp. However, I can suggest some relevant starting points that might be helpful for your marketplace SaaS project:
1. OpenSaaS Template: Wasp offers a SaaS starter template that includes many features you might need for a marketplace, such as authentication, payments, and more. You can use this as a foundation and extend it for marketplace functionality. To use this template, you can run:
You can find more details about this template in the Starter Templates documentation.
2. AI-Generated Starter: Wasp has an experimental feature where you can describe your app idea, and it will generate initial code for you. This might be useful to quickly scaffold a marketplace structure. You can access this by choosing the "ai-generated" template when creating a new project.
3. Existing Projects: While not specifically a marketplace, you might find inspiration or reusable components in existing Wasp projects. The Waspello project (a Trello clone) demonstrates how to build a more complex application with Wasp.
4. Community Resources: The Wasp community is active and supportive. You might want to share your specific marketplace requirements in the Wasp Discord or GitHub Discussions to get more tailored advice or find potential collaborators.
While these aren't exactly what you're looking for, they provide starting points that you can build upon for your marketplace SaaS. If you need more specific guidance or want to discuss your project further, I recommend reaching out to the Wasp community through the channels mentioned above.

Sorry @ein, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?
It is possible! I have one I created with a seller/user dashboard with stripe express and listings etc, it's just a lot of work ðŸ«
@ein awesome to see you want to build stuff with Wasp! Here's my two cents:
1) Currently we don't have a "specialized" marketplace template for Wasp. So the best bet would be to start from OpenSaaS and customize it further to your needs.
2) If you're looking to build a typical marketplace, are you sure Wasp is the best choice? There a lot of higher-level, ready made solutions like Shopify etc. Is there a reason why you are looking to go this, more custom route?
