Subject: Inquiry About Multi-Vendor Advertising Platform on Bubble
Hi Bubble Team,
I’m exploring the possibility of building a platform on Bubble and have a straightforward question that I hope you can help with. My goal is to create a marketplace-like platform where vendors can register, create accounts, and list their products or services. However, unlike a traditional marketplace, no sales will occur on the platform. Instead, each listing will function as an advertisement that links back to the vendor’s own site for transactions.
To clarify:
- Platform Purpose: The platform is essentially an advertising network or a search engine for shopping, focusing on product ads, service ads, or content like articles. All listings will look like typical product pages in a marketplace but will serve as ads rather than items for sale.
- Functionality Needed: Vendors should be able to create accounts, list their offerings with detailed descriptions, and link out to their sites. Users should be able to search and filter these ads as they would in a regular shopping environment.
- User Experience: The site will present listings in a grid-like layout, similar to an online store, but with the primary function of directing users to the advertisers’ own platforms.
Would Bubble support this type of platform? If so, are there specific templates, plugins, or configurations you recommend to best achieve this?
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Best regards,
