Building a Marketplace with Webstudio and Payment Integration

At a glance

The community members are discussing building a marketplace using Webstudio with payment integration. Initially, the focus was on individual product purchases, with suggestions to use Stripe checkout links or PayPal. However, after further discussions, the customer required a cart functionality. The community members suggested using custom JavaScript or a template that could handle multiple products with Stripe integration. The marketplace will contain cosmetic products for hair, skin, etc. One community member mentioned that creating a Stripe-based solution for a multi-product marketplace would take significant time, potentially months, and suggested the original poster could also try developing it themselves using HTML embeds, JavaScript, and a Cloudflare Worker.

Hello everyone, did you try building a marketplace using webstudio with payment integration of course ? Is it a good choice? Anyone can share with me any documents that might help
Thanks !

Can you elaborate on what you are trying to achieve?

Do you need a cart functionality or are people purchasing individual products/templates?
People purchasing individual products on the website
I would use Stripe checkout links and fetch that info via their API. I've been intending on creating a template for something like this. Just added it to my todo list. Would a setup like that work for you?
Yes sure. Although I believe I would process payments through PayPal
Hm then maybe add all your products to baserow with one of the columns containing the checkout link to each product
Just had a discussion with my customer and knew that they will need a cart functionality
Got it. This would require custom js (for now). I may still create a template like this πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
Great ! Thanks for your responses ! I have had a further discussion with the customer and now it's clear they will go with Stripe for payment so I believe your template would be a perfect fit for this use case πŸ™
Okay cool. I'll try to knock this out when I'm done with some other stuff I'm working on. What exactly will your marketplace contain? Might be helpful if I mirror my template after a real use case
The marketplace will contain cosmetic products for hair, skin, etc..
This will take longer because using stripe beyond 1 product requires a bit more functionality. I can't prioritize this right now, but I have it on my list to do. No promises as if the solution is too complex right now, I may not pursue it yet
Understood. Thanks for your feedback and cooperation. In this case what could be the deadline you think it might be available ? This is just to set my expectations only.
Couldn't say really. But if I were to do it, months πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ You're a developer? Maybe you could too? I wouldn't be coding anything into Webstudio, but just adding either HTML embeds with JS and probably a Cloudflare Worker to handle the Stripe checkout creation
Thanks for your replies ! Appreciated !
