[Support request] MarketPlace Plugin

[Robert]

Hello there,

Apologies if this is outside the bounds of this forum.

We’re very pleased with GeneratePress and would like to use it on another site for a colleague. However, they require some ‘matching / marketplace’ functionality – they want to help students connect with teachers.

Can you possibly recommend a (GeneratePress compatible) plugin?

Hi there,

do you have an example of what you mean by ‘matching / marketplace’?

Hi David,

Thanks for your reply.

Something like this – on a smaller scale

https://www.superprof.us/

OK, thats a pretty cool site 🙂

Quite a lot of variables to be considered.
So on a smaller scale, would this be a simple booking system?
Or would the site provide member access for each of the tutors?
And would it need to facilitate the service they offer eg. on-line training?

Hi David,

Thanks again for you reply.

As I understand it so far, the tutoring would be done outside this website e.g. via Skype etc

But yes, all enrolled students would be able to view & contact all teachers

So possibly one of the many membership plugins would do, as you can define user roles and generally integrate well with other plugins including ecommerce and instant messengers – for example:

Hi David,

Many thanks for this and for your time.
We’ll explore this one and a couple of others.

Thanks again.
