Build a marketplace for your community
For founders and organizers whose marketplace exists to serve a community: a sport, a hobby, a neighborhood or a trade.
Exonome gives associations, chambers and community leaders their own marketplace: the providers you choose, what they offer, and, when you choose, bookings and payments. You decide who can list and what goes live. No code needed for standard setup.
Start with the community you know
A pickleball community where players want coaching. Car enthusiasts who want to buy from dealers they can meet. Neighbors who rent equipment to each other. Many community marketplaces start with a founder who already knows the providers.
Exonome gives that community a marketplace you run: the providers you choose, what they offer, and how members find and book them.
What you can run
Bookings and classes
Sessions, lessons and classes with times, capacity and skill levels.
Rentals
Equipment rentals with their own pricing and available dates, set by each owner.
Products
Products with variants and shipping.
Inquiries and links
A way to get in touch, or a link out to the provider's own site.
Discovery and Connection support links and inquiries. Bookings, classes, rentals and product sales use Marketplace.
Communities running on Exonome
LiveDinkSF
Paid pickleball programs in one city.
LiveTennis Machine Rentals
Ball machines rented from local owners.
LiveHighway One
Specialty and classic cars from independent dealers and private owners.
DemoFog City Bluegrass
A local bluegrass scene: instruments, sound rentals, shows and gig slots. Sellers and prices are illustrative.
Small is the point
A marketplace doesn't have to be national to work. It can serve one city, like DinkSF, or one community spread across countries, like Highway One's car enthusiasts, and grow from there.
How it works
For you, the founder
- Set up your marketplace and its categories.
- Invite the providers you know, and approve who can list.
- Announce it to your community.
For providers
- List what they offer. New offerings start pending your approval.
- Keep their own prices, photos, availability and details up to date.
- Receive inquiries, and bookings where you've turned them on.
For your community
- Find the providers you've approved, in one place.
- Ask, book or buy.
- Come back for the next thing.
Start with what your community needs. Add more only if you want to.
Visitors find a provider's offerings and can express interest. Free to start.
Bring in multiple providers, and route inquiries and referrals through your exchange instead of your inbox.
Paid bookings and payouts are available with Marketplace, when you choose to turn commerce on.
A directory or referral network that stays that way is a success. Commerce is a choice, not the goal.
Try it before you commit
Our one-hour Lab is a guided build that shows how to set up a marketplace, so you can see whether the workflow fits your community.
Can we do this?
- We're a small team. No developers needed for standard setup. Providers keep their own prices, photos, availability and details up to date, and new offerings from invited providers wait for your approval. Your team recruits, approves and promotes. What it takes →
- Who brings people in? If you already reach members through a newsletter or events, start there. Providers can share their own listings where supported. How to launch to members →
- How long until it's live? A guided build in our one-hour Lab shows the workflow. A real launch also needs your providers, branding, payment setup where you take payments, and an announcement, and we'll walk you through each. From idea to live →
- Does it have to be big? No. It works wherever trust already exists, in one city, one community or one chapter. Small is the point →
- Can we make it ours? Your exchange's logo and colors, your categories, offering types and rules. White-label brands also get their own domain and our Partner API. What you can make yours →
