  • One of the most exciting no-code use cases utilizing the Webflow, Airtable, and Zapier stack are local marketplaces. In the first half of this session, I’ll highlight a few standouts that do marketplaces really well:
    Chive: a New Zealand charity directory
    Rivuuz: an odd jobs marketplace in Zambia
    Unicorn Factory: a New Zealand-based freelancer marketplace
    And during the second half, I’ll walk you through getting started with setting up your own marketplace - even if you’ve never used Webflow, Airtable, and Zapier together before.

    Question about the 100cms limit though, how do you get around that in Webflow?

      I don't have this issue on Unicorn Factory - hard to work around those limitations atm.

      100 CMS limit? Isn't it 2000 on the CMS plan, and 10.000 on the business plan?

      @@torkelvikeby my bad. I was thinking of 100 static pages, got mixed up.
      You're right, 10000 cms on business plan.

      @@connorfinlayson you have 4500 members now, does that mean you're limited to 10,000 members? I'd love to emulate unicorn factory but with booking available and for a different industry... i really want to use webflow though instead of WordPress.

    Can you also have a supplier add items (products) to its profile? A bit similar to what the ebays and amazons do?

    Hi Connor, this is so good thanks a lot! I’m wondering if it’s possible to include a direct chat function between buyer and seller? So instead of the inquiry sent to email, a way to decrease time from inquiry to transaction? I’ve thought about a WhatsApp link to the sellers WhatsApp but that might lead to disintermediation. I’m curious what you think.
