Hi all, I am Rasmus 👋
I have recently built 4️⃣ online marketplaces.
One is a marketplace for Moomin mugs. Another one was a marketplace for podcast ads. The third is a platform for turning homes into co-working spaces. And the fourth is a marketplace for buying and selling stars.
I realized that the most important thing is to get the MVP out as fast as possible, so you quickly discover if you can get buyers and sellers to connect.
That's why I built this marketplace boilerplate. It has definitely helped me, and I believe it could help you as well.
You can watch the video below to see how it works.

I had not used Clerk before for authentication, but it was a super easy to set up.The documentation is clear and concise, and the support from Rasmus is top-notch. I highly recommend this boilerplate to anyone looking to start creating a new marketplace.

In run several businesses and searched for quick repo in next js to spin up a marketplace for testing purposes. Rasmus has been amazingly responsive and was super. Code is super clean and was a joy to work with, great thought through tech stack and will be easy to expand without building the core again.
The price is a steal when you think about the time you save with building or researching it yourself.

The course is fantastic! I've tried learning marketplace development before, but Rasmus breaks everything down in a way that's easy to understand. The AI integration part was particularly eye-opening. Now I feel confident building my own marketplace from scratch.

What sets this apart is the combination of the course and boilerplate. I started with the course to understand the fundamentals, then used the boilerplate to launch faster. The support community is incredibly helpful, and Rasmus' response time for questions is phenomenal.
