How to customize a job board template into a service marketplace with free and paid verified listings? Answered
Need some ideas. How would you transform the job board/frelancer marketplace template. The ideea is. I want to build a marketplace for a community in another country, where they can list their services. I want to have a free listing where they can post their listings and a paid where they will have the verified checkmark. Atm I don't want to use the talkjs extension as i need to test the ideea and generate some revenue.

3 listing forms, 1 free, 1 paid upfront, 1 upgrade.
Custom submission form with limited form fields for free post, automation to add custom variable as 'not verified'.
On dynamic listing page have verified check mark as an image that has dynamic visibility if user custom field = is verified.
Have upgrade buttons / upsell sales content that only shows if member is not verified on listing page.
If someone upgrade, set up a purchase redirect to a 'upgrade form' that allows people to add the premium form fields (if required), or just create an automation that adds custom value 'is verified' if the checkmark is the only paid incentive.
Push update to CMS with automation.
So basically. Because I use airtable. I should have 2 tables for this. One for free members and one for paid members. For free members i share the form view with the fields associated to free. And for paid members i share the form view associated with paid members.(including verified, and some other options). For the upgrade i need to share a button where they are redirected to the stripe and then to the form of the paid members. Correct me if i didn't understand. Now. How would you transform the dashboard for each user. (Business or member who is looking for service providers) what i am thinking is. For businesses i need the show the brand name, city, description, phone, email, website, thumbnail image, logo( free)
For paid( the fields of the free + verified check mark, priority in search and more images.
Are you running it through airtable forms or webflow forms that pass through to airtable?
I would house members in memberstack, then have a redirect from signup to choose your plan: free or paid. Free goes straight to webflow form that passes through custom fields to memberstack, airtable and webflow. Paid goes to checkout, redirect to form, pass through fields to memberstack airtable and webflow.
Have a column for webflow cms post ID for both, and pass through to airtable.
Then a retroactive upgrade could search for the users airtable based on their unique ID.
And update their profile with the new premium fields and checkmark rather than the user having to resubmit everything again through a new form.
That way you can just have one airtable base with a column of 'premium listing' with yes or no based on paid status of the member.
Then you can use the custom value of 'is verified' to hide or show elements on their listing too.
Otherwise you will have duplicate listings for the same user if they upgrade, theyll have a free and then paid listing.
