Services Marketplace

Free & Pro

BuddyX Pro makes a great foundation for a freelance services marketplace. Your theme colors, sidebars, dark mode, and header layouts carry straight through to vendor storefronts, order pages, and payout dashboards - the in-house WP Sell Services plugin is built on WooCommerce, so the theme's WooCommerce styling and shared design tokens apply directly. Start with WP Sell Services for the tightest fit, or point BuddyX Pro at a product-based marketplace like Dokan, WCFM, or WC Vendors that you already run.

WP Sell Services - the in-house services marketplace

WP Sell Services is Wbcom's own services marketplace: vendor storefronts, service listings, orders, and payouts. Because it is built by the same team as the theme, it shares the BuddyX Pro design system out of the box - no bridge plugin, no CSS overrides.

What you get:

  • Vendor storefronts - each seller gets a branded profile page with their service catalog, ratings, and contact options.
  • Service listings - sellers publish gigs with packages, pricing tiers, and delivery times.
  • Orders - buyers place and track orders, with requirements, revisions, and messaging in one thread.
  • Payouts - seller earnings are tracked per order and paid out on your schedule.

WP Sell Services is one of the in-house plugins in the BuddyX family. See the full lineup on the plugin family page. It is free to start, with a Pro upgrade that adds the deeper selling, commission, and payout features.

How WP Sell Services pairs with BuddyX Pro

WP Sell Services is built on WooCommerce and reads the theme's design tokens, so once it is active it inherits your theme without a separate skin:

  • Theme colors - service cards, package selectors, order buttons, and the seller dashboard read your --bx-color-* palette from Appearance > Customize > Colors. Change the primary color once and the marketplace follows.
  • Sidebars - the services archive and single-service pages sit inside the standard BuddyX Pro page frame, so they honor your sidebar choice at Appearance > Customize > Sidebar. Set Left, Right, or None to suit a browsing grid or a focused checkout.
  • Dark mode - because colors come from tokens, storefronts, service pages, order screens, and the payout dashboard follow light and dark mode. Members toggle light/dark from the header and the choice persists across pages.
  • Header layouts - your chosen Pro header layout, top bar, and mega menu sit above every marketplace page as they do on any page, so navigation stays consistent with the rest of the site.

Set it up

  1. Install and activate WP Sell Services from Plugins > Add New.
  2. Go to Appearance > Customize > Colors and confirm your primary color - the marketplace picks it up.
  3. Go to Appearance > Customize > Sidebar and set the sidebar for services pages.
  4. Visit your services archive - the grid renders in your BuddyX Pro colors immediately.

Tip: Pair WP Sell Services with BuddyPress so each seller's storefront links to their member profile - buyers get one identity across the community and the marketplace.
