Discover the process of creating a marketplace app in Adalo, from the initial design all the way to launch. Great for those just starting out who want to build a practical and easy-to-use app.
Creating a marketplace app in Adalo is an engaging, step-by-step adventure to turn your big idea into reality, even if coding isn't your thing. First off, dive into designing the app's user interface. Think about how it'll look and feel, especially the navigation, item listings, and user profiles. Next up, it's time to set up databases. These are crucial for keeping track of user and product info. After that, weave in essential features—add payment systems, search functions, and messaging capabilities. Test it out in different scenarios to make sure everything runs smoothly. Using Adalo's drag-and-drop builder simplifies the whole process, while still giving you room to customize it for your marketplace needs.
First things first, head over to Adalo's website and create an account. If you already have one, just log in to your Adalo dashboard.
Click on the "Create New App" button. Decide whether you want a Mobile or Web app. Give your app a name, and pick a template or start from scratch if you like.
Use Adalo’s drag-and-drop interface to design your app's layout. Add screens like Splash Screen, Home Screen, Product List, Product Details, and User Profile.
Go to the database section and create collections to store your data. For a marketplace app, you might need collections like Users, Products, Orders, and Categories.
Drag and drop user authentication components onto your app screens. Set up sign-up and login workflows to authenticate users using Adalo's built-in features.
Create forms or admin panels so users can add new products. They should input details like product name, description, price, category, and images. Store this info in the Products collection.
Drag and drop lists to create product display components. Link these lists to show data from your Products collection. Customize the layout to show product name, image, price, etc.
Add search bars and filter options so users can easily find products. Configure these components to filter and search through the Products collection.
Design and link a Product Detail screen to show detailed information about each product. Set up actions to navigate from the product list to the detail screen.
Create a shopping cart feature so users can add products to their cart. Build a checkout screen where users can review their cart items and proceed to purchase. Save order details in the Orders collection.
Integrate payment gateways like Stripe or PayPal to process transactions. Adalo supports various payment components that you can configure within your app.
Build user profile screens to show user-specific information like purchase history, favorite products, and personal details. Link this screen to your Users collection.
Test your app thoroughly to make sure everything works as expected. Use Adalo's preview mode to interact with the app as a user would.
Once you're happy with how everything works, publish your app by following Adalo’s publishing guidelines for mobile or web deployment.
