Overview
About Cueillette
Cueillette is a two-sided marketplace that lets users move freely between buying and selling. Anyone can join as a buyer looking for unique products or as a seller offering their own goods.
The app also helps people discover local pick-your-own farms and orchards, connecting them with fresh fruit and vegetables straight from local growers.

Challenge and approach
Two sides of one market
The challenge
Both sides of the marketplace faced a trust and visibility problem.
For buyers
Online anonymity makes buyers hesitant to purchase from unfamiliar sellers, especially when the items are pre-owned.
For sellers
Sellers struggle to get unique products in front of the right buyers on crowded online platforms.
Our approach
We designed the marketplace around trust for buyers and fair economics for sellers.
Reviews and ratings for buyers
Buyers are encouraged to review and rate sellers, and those ratings sit prominently in product listings to build trust and transparency.
Lower commission for sellers
A lower commission than mainstream marketplaces makes the platform attractive to small businesses and makers of handcrafted goods.
