Full Booking Platform Development – Cleaning Marketplace

Do you want a fully automated booking platform with complete legal entity setup and approvals?

Andrew

There are existing software for this, do you want to buy one or build your own?

What payment gateway?

Hello Andrew, could you share your preferred tech stack and any reference platforms you're envisioning for this cleaning marketplace?

Hey Andrew,

To build a high-converting, scalable booking platform for your UK cleaning marketplace, I need a bit more clarity to ensure we get it right from the start:

Is this a managed platform (you vet and assign cleaners) or freelance/unmanaged (customers choose and book directly)?
What’s the primary monetization model — commission per booking, subscription for cleaners, or lead fee?
Do you already have a preferred tech stack or platform (e.g., custom build, Shopify, Laravel, React)?
Are there core MVP features you want to launch with vs. phase in later (e.g., real-time availability, instant booking, in-app messaging, photo checklists)?
Will you handle cleaner verification and ID checks onboarding, or should that be part of the system?
This helps me structure a secure, user-focused platform that scales with your vision.

Before we dive in, I’d like to clarify a few points to ensure the platform meets your exact needs. Do you want the marketplace to support both individual cleaners and cleaning companies from day one, or start with just one type of service provider?

For bookings, are you looking for instant confirmations for customers, or a request-and-approve flow for cleaners to manage their schedule? And regarding payments, do you prefer automated subscription plans for cleaners, pay-per-booking, or a mix of both at launch?

Getting clarity on these will help me design a system that’s both scalable and user-friendly from the start.

Hi Andrew, Thanks for your job posting and I have some questions:

Do you already have defined requirements for booking logic, pricing models, and cleaner availability, or should these be designed as part of the development process?

What payment and subscription structure do you plan to use for cleaners and cleaning companies (e.g., commission per booking, monthly subscriptions, or a hybrid model)?

Are there any specific compliance, security, or UK regulatory requirements (such as VAT handling or data protection) that the platform must support from launch?

Best.

can you please tell whether you already have a preferred tech stack or reference booking platform in mind for the cleaning marketplace and subscription-based booking system?
