Build a marketplace with AI

Orbit generates two-sided marketplaces — listings, search, profiles, messaging, and reviews — with Supabase handling users, listings, and transactions.

Build a Marketplace with AI

Marketplace builds on Orbit cover the two-sided core: seller listing forms, buyer search with filters, profile pages, and a reviews system. RLS scopes who can edit which records, and storage handles listing images.

In plain English

A marketplace connects buyers and sellers — like an online flea market. Orbit builds the listing pages, profiles, and search, and keeps the permissions straight so sellers only edit their own stuff.

How it works in Orbit

A marketplace is a two-sided platform: sellers list, buyers search, and the platform keeps the peace. Orbit generates listings, search, profiles, messaging, and reviews, with Supabase enforcing who can edit what.

The two-sided core

Both sides need their own surfaces. Orbit builds seller listing forms and dashboards, buyer search and browse pages, and shared profile and reviews systems.

  • Seller listing forms
  • Buyer search with filters
  • Profile pages
  • Reviews and ratings

Permissions that hold up in the database

The famous marketplace bug is a seller editing another seller's listing. Orbit provisions RLS so sellers can only modify their own records while buyers read everything — enforced by Postgres.

  • Seller-scoped writes
  • Public reads for buyers
  • Image uploads via Storage

Search, favorites, and messaging

A marketplace lives on discovery and communication. Orbit generates searchable listings with filters, a favorites list, and buyer-seller messaging stored in Supabase.

  • Filterable search
  • Favorites and saved searches
  • In-app messaging
  1. Describe the marketplace

    Who sells, who buys, and what's exchanged.

  2. Generate both sides

    Orbit builds seller and buyer surfaces.

  3. Set the rules

    RLS scopes edits to the right role.

  4. Launch

    Invite sellers and let buyers in.

The challenge

Try it yourself

Run this one on a competitor first — then on Orbit. Same prompt, and keep score.

Build

Try this one elsewhere first.

Ask two tools for a two-sided marketplace with reviews. Then check who enforces "sellers can only edit their own listings" in the database, not just the UI.

Research

Ask a research tool to go deep on one topic.

Then ask Orbit. Compare how many rounds it runs, how many sources it actually reads — we target 65+ — and whether every claim in the final report has a link attached. Bring a bigger coffee mug.

Chat

Ask a plain chatbot the same question.

One just talks. Orbit's agent actually searches the web, runs code, reads your files, and comes back with something done. Compare how many tabs you opened and how many are still open when you're finished.

Image & video

Generate the same image, then edit it.

Ask two tools for the same hero shot, then ask both to recolor it, fill in the background, and animate it. Compare who hands you a first draft and who keeps refining in the same conversation.

How Orbit builds it

  1. Describe what you need

    One prompt: the workflow, the screens, who uses it.

  2. Watch Orbit plan the build

    The planner turns your spec into a phase-by-phase build with the right stack.

  3. Generate and verify

    Code is written into the sandbox, typechecked, and fixed before preview.

  4. Provision and preview

    Supabase schema, auth, and storage are provisioned; the live preview unlocks.

  5. Iterate in place

    Ask for changes — Orbit edits the existing app instead of starting over.

Frequently asked questions

What marketplace features does Orbit generate?

Listings, search and filtering, user profiles, favorites, messaging, reviews, and image uploads via Supabase Storage.

How do permissions work in a marketplace app?

Orbit provisions RLS so sellers can only edit their own listings while buyers read everything — enforced in the database, not just the UI.

Can Orbit handle payments between users?

Orbit can wire payments through the Stripe template as the platform's revenue mechanism. Direct buyer-to-seller escrow needs a dedicated payments provider on top.

How do reviews stay trustworthy?

Orbit stores reviews against completed transactions and prevents duplicate reviews per order, so ratings reflect real experiences.
