Marketplace Starter Kit

Product Detail

1. Overview

The Listing Detail Page is the primary destination where Users learn everything about a listing and decide whether to book.

It presents photos, descriptions, availability, pricing, seller policies, and user reviews — all within a modular layout that is optimized for both conversion and trust.

A sticky Booking Container and clear call-to-actions ensure minimal friction when Users are ready to take action.

3.1 Page Structure

Here are the page sections that we’ve implemented. The sections correspond to the typical types of information of a product/service displayed in a marketplace, and we deliberately display them in different layouts so that you can configure these to your unique purpose.

  • Title & Location — The listing title (defined by the Seller) and the general location appear at the top.
  • Image Gallery — A responsive carousel to display listing photos.
  • Key Metadata — Includes review rating, review count, and Seller response time.
  • Testimonial Highlight — Displays the most upvoted review or the most recent highly-rated fallback.
  • Booking Container — Shows price, availability, and booking summary; remains sticky as the user scrolls.
  • Detailed Sections below:
    • About the Space
    • What’s Included
    • FAQs (e.g., Parking, House Rules)
    • Operating Hours
    • Location Map
    • Health & Safety
    • Cancellation Policy
    • Reviews
    • Similar Listings

Modular by design

The codebase is structured in a modular, component-based way—making it easy for your team to modify, replace, or extend individual flows to fit your unique marketplace model. Whether you’re adjusting pricing logic, onboarding steps, or messaging behavior, customization is straightforward and isolated.

5. Sections and Implementation Notes

5.1 Testimonial Highlight

Function:

Displays a 2-3 standout review to establish credibility and build trust quickly.

Business Logic:

  • Most upvoted review is shown
  • If no review has votes, fallback to the latest high-rating review

Implementation Notes:

  • Upvote count is tracked per review
  • Data is fetched and evaluated server-side during listing page load
  • Fully customizable fallback logic (e.g., most recent 5-star within last 3 months)

5.2 About the Space

Function:

Free-text field authored by the Seller to describe the space or service.

Input Source:

  • Collected via a WYSIWYG editor during listing creation (Step 2)

Implementation Notes:

  • Stored as rich text or markdown depending on platform preference

5.3 FAQs (Parking, House Rules, etc.)

Function:

Presents FAQs in accordion format to aid clarity and reduce friction.

Input Source:

  • Derived from checkbox inputs and free-text fields from various steps across the listing creation

Implementation Notes:

  • Platform defines which FAQ topics are included
  • Values mapped to structured schema (e.g., "parkingOptions": ["street", "garage"])
  • Accordion state handled client-side for interactivity

5.4 What’s Included

Function:

Lists amenities, features and equipment included in the booking

Input Source:

  • Checkbox selections and optional custom additions in Step 8 of listing creation

Implementation Notes:

  • Amenity taxonomy is defined by the platform
  • Optionally supports “custom amenity” strings from sellers
  • Grouped logically (e.g., Amenities, Features, Equipment)

5.5 Location Display

Function:

Maps the general location of the listing, without revealing the exact address.

Implementation Notes:

  • Coordinates or address parsed and converted to a centroid (100m radius overlay)
  • Prevents doxxing while giving Users directional context
