The ecommerce marketplace has been evolving at a global scale so no wonder business owners are eager to become a part of this growing industry. However, it does sound like a simple thought but the competition arising over the years has made it difficult for ecommerce websites and apps to earn a reputable and visible position amongst the rest.
Now ecommerce websites are relying on mobile apps so there has been an upsurge in businesses and individuals intending to make app like OLX or eBay. If you have a profitable idea for an ecommerce business and you do not know how to commence with it – we are here to assist you with it.
In order to build an app like OLX, some features are integral to add to your online marketplace app.
Users will be able to place ads, buy or sell items only if they registered for an account.
Placement of ads can be done both free of cost or by paying a small fee for it.
By paying an extra fee for the ads, it is even possible to highlight product ads on the main page.
Users can take the role of a buyer or seller without switching between multiple accounts.
Filters can be added to the search bar to make the search result more accurate.
App users can select from the product categories of their choice and even apply filters.
The app is currently available in both local and global languages but the list of languages is limited for now.
If users want to inquire further about a product from a buyer, they can start a private chat with them.
App notifications that will notify users in case if someone messages them, views their products or about a new deal.
Products and items that users want to view or purchase later can be added to the list of saved items.
Trending deals are shown on the main interface of the app and users can browse through them.
If a seller wants to add a new deal, he can do so in the ‘Place A Deal’ feature in the app.
