Overview

What this system does

Social Market is a community-driven marketplace designed to make buying and selling more social and accessible. Sellers can create listings and manage their products, while customers can discover products, interact with sellers, and complete transactions through a platform built around local commerce.

The System

Problem & solution

Problem — Traditional online marketplaces can feel disconnected from the way people in local communities actually discover and buy products. Sellers need an easier way to reach customers, while buyers need a trusted environment for discovering products and communicating with sellers.
