Step-by-Step Guide: Building an Etsy Clone with Adalo

This comprehensive tutorial will walk you through building a fully functional marketplace app using Adalo's no-code platform. You'll create an Etsy-style marketplace where sellers can list handmade products and buyers can browse, purchase, and review items, all without writing a single line of code.

What Is an Etsy Clone and Why Build One with No-Code

An Etsy clone is a two-sided marketplace platform that connects individual sellers with buyers, facilitating transactions without the marketplace owner managing inventory. Unlike traditional e-commerce sites that sell their own products, marketplaces provide the infrastructure for multiple vendors to operate stores.

Etsy itself connects 7.5 million sellers with 95.1 million buyers, generating $2.6 billion in revenue in 2022. Building your own version allows you to:

• Own your platform and brand completely
• Control monetization strategies
• Customize features for your specific niche
• Publish across web, iOS, and Android simultaneously

No-code development makes this accessible to non-technical founders. Gartner forecasts that by 2025, 70% of new applications developed by enterprises will use low-code/no-code technologies. Forrester has reported low-code can accelerate delivery by up to 10x.
