Best for: service marketplaces where freelancers bid on projects and the site earns a commission on completed work
The Exertio WordPress theme from scriptsbundle is a freelance marketplace theme. Moreover, it recreates the Fiverr and Upwork model: employers post projects, freelancers bid, and your site earns a commission.
Two sides of a marketplace, both built in
Employers and freelancers each register free of charge and get their own dashboard. Freelancers publish services with images, videos, add-ons and their own FAQ, while employers post projects that can be free or paid. In addition, the bidding system covers featured, top and sticky bids, so promoted placement is a revenue stream on its own.
Milestones split larger projects into stages. Therefore money moves as work is delivered rather than all at once.
A closer look at the demo
Commissions, wallet and payouts
Exertio takes a commission from completed services, and a wallet system holds balances for both sides. Furthermore, payouts can be created manually or automatically, and transactional statements keep the history. Payments run through WooCommerce, so you use the gateways you already know.
Keep the fees in mind. Every payout passes through your gateway, and those charges sit between your commission and your margin.
Communication and trust
A built-in chat system keeps conversations on the site, and Zoom integration adds video meetings for briefings. In addition, email verification, identity verification and reporting tools cover the trust side, which is where most freelance marketplaces fail. Social logins through Facebook or Google shorten registration.
