Hi all, I am Rasmus đ
I have recently built 3ď¸âŁ online marketplaces.
One is a marketplace for Moomin mugs. Another one was a marketplace for podcast ads. And the third is a platform for turning homes into co-working spaces.
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.

- What exactly do I get with Speed Build Marketplace?
- With Speed Build Marketplace, you get a fully functional online marketplace boilerplate which is needed to run an online marketplace. This means auth, database, payment, blog and ui components and much more are included.
The repository is available in JavaScript and TypeScript. And the documentation will help you set everything up from scratch so you quickly can launch your marketplace. - What is an online marketplace?
- An online marketplace is a digital platform that connects buyers and sellers, enabling them to exchange goods or services.
It provides features such as user authentication, product listings, payment processing, and communication tools. - Can I use this if my tech stack is different?
- Yes, you can still integrate it with different technologies. All libraries and integrations are independent.
For example, if you want to use Mailgun instead of Sendgrid, Mangopay instead of Stripe, or if you want to choose another database solution instead of MongoDB and Supabase, it is all possible. - I am non-technical. Can I still use it?
- If youâre skilled at using AI like ChatGPT, then you can still use it.
It will probably take you a bit longer to set up, but the documentation is clear and concise, and Rasmus is always available in case you have any questions. - Does it support JavaScript or TypeScript?
- Yes! Speed Build Marketplace supports both JavaScript and TypeScript.
After your payment, youâll get immediate access to both repositories so you can start building your marketplace with your preferred language right away. đ - Is this a website template?
- It is not just a website template.
It comes with all the necessary features to run an online two-sided marketplace. Itâs a complete solution for anyone wanting to create an online marketplace quickly and efficiently. - How do I choose my preferred database solution?
- The boilerplate comes preconfigured with both NoSQL (MongoDB) and SQL (Supabase) setups. Simply choose your preferred database solution and follow the tailored documentation for a quick setup.
- Are there any additional costs associated?
- Aside from Stripe transaction fees, there are no hidden costs. If you choose to use Vercel for hosting, you can host your project for free (frontend + backend). Also, MongoDB, Supabase and Clerk has free tiers.
- How often is Speed Build Marketplace updated?
- Updates are typically released every few months. You can check the changelog for details.
- Does it use the /app router or /pages router?
- The /app router, which is leveraging the latest and recommended Next.js features for building modern applications.
- Can I get a refund if I am not satisfied?
- When you get access to the repositories, Speed Build Marketplace is yours forever - so it canât be refunded.
But be certain, that with the repos (JavaScript and TypeScript repos) you will be able to build your marketplace MVP much quicker than doing everything from scratch - saving you weeks if not months. - What is included in the $1599 plan and how does it work?
- The $1599 plan, also known as the Premium Package, includes everything from the Full Package plus additional 1-on-1 support and services. Rasmus will coach and teach you how to build your marketplace with AI and machine learning using the boilerplate.
This plan provides:- - Personal assistance for any questions via email or Google Meet
- - 30 min./day online consultation
- - Server Setup and Deployment Assistance
- - AI building training sessions
- - Code review sessions
- - Access to additional documentation and resources
Services are accessible for 14 days from the purchase day.
This plan is suitable for non-technical builders who would like to learn how to build marketplaces using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude AI. Notice that this price is still much cheaper than choosing, for instance, a no-code tool like Sharetribe where the monthly costs quickly will exceed this.
