Stop paying SaaS fees to run your freelance marketplace.
WP Sell Services turns your WordPress site into a fully functional freelance platform. Vendors list gigs with tiered pricing. Buyers browse, compare, and purchase -- or post project briefs and receive competing proposals. Built-in Stripe and PayPal checkout, order lifecycle management, commission tracking, and dispute resolution. No WooCommerce. No monthly SaaS fees. You own the platform.
Launching a freelance marketplace has always meant picking your poison.
The only WordPress plugin that handles both sides of a freelance marketplace.
Other marketplace plugins force you to choose: either vendors list services, or buyers post jobs. WP Sell Services supports both models out of the box, and both feed into the same order lifecycle with requirements, delivery, revisions, and reviews.
Your freelance marketplace is live in under 10 minutes
Who it's for
SaaS platforms take your revenue. Multi-vendor plugins ignore your workflow.
Sharetribe charges monthly fees and transaction commissions on a platform you do not own. Dokan requires WooCommerce and was designed for physical product shops, not freelance workflows. WP Sell Services was built from the ground up for service-based marketplaces.
WP Sell Services is the only self-hosted WordPress solution built specifically for freelance marketplaces. SaaS platforms own your data. Product marketplace plugins do not understand service delivery. We built for freelancers from day one.
Two ways to match freelancers with clients, both included free
Most freelance platforms only support one model. Either freelancers list gigs, or clients post jobs. WP Sell Services gives you both. Freelancers create service packages with tiered pricing for clients to browse and buy. Clients post project briefs with budgets for freelancers to submit proposals. Both paths create the same managed order with requirements, delivery, and reviews.
Clients post what they need, freelancers compete with proposals. Two marketplace models, one unified workflow.
Everything your community needs
No extensions to buy. No integrations to configure. It ships with all of this.
Vendor dashboard
Freelancers manage gigs, orders, earnings, messages, and portfolio from a responsive frontend dashboard. They never need wp-admin access.
6-step gig creation wizard
Guided flow for professional listings: 3-tier pricing packages (Basic, Standard, Premium), gallery images, FAQs, project requirements, and optional add-ons.
Built-in checkout (no WooCommerce)
Stripe, PayPal, and offline payments included. Multi-vendor cart splits orders by freelancer automatically. No third-party checkout plugins required.
Order lifecycle automation
11 order statuses with automatic transitions: deadline reminders, late order detection, auto-complete, and configurable requirement timeouts.
Delivery and revision tracking
Freelancers submit deliverables, clients review and approve or request changes. Configurable revision limits per package. Auto-complete if the client does not respond.
Commission and earnings
Global commission rate with per-vendor overrides. Configurable clearance periods, minimum withdrawal thresholds, and manual or automated payout processing.
Buyer requests and proposals
Clients post project briefs with budgets and deadlines. Freelancers submit proposals with pricing and cover letters. Client accepts the best offer.
Reviews and seller levels
5-star review system with sub-ratings. 4 auto-calculated seller levels (New, Rising, Top Rated, Pro Seller) based on performance metrics.
Dispute resolution
Structured dispute process with evidence submission, admin mediation, and configurable outcomes: full refund, partial refund, or dismissal.
25 email notifications
Every order event triggers a notification: new order, delivery, revision request, dispute, withdrawal. All individually toggleable. In-app notifications included.
21 REST API controllers
Full API coverage for gigs, orders, reviews, conversations, disputes, earnings, cart, and authentication. Batch endpoint for mobile apps combines 25 requests in one call.
Commission-free tipping
Clients tip freelancers for outstanding work. Tips go directly to the freelancer with zero platform commission. A retention incentive that costs you nothing.
Freelancer portfolios
Freelancers showcase past work samples on their profile. Clients browse portfolios alongside reviews and seller levels to evaluate quality before purchasing.
Vacation mode
Freelancers pause new orders with one toggle. Listings stay visible with a vacation notice. In-progress orders continue normally.
