Job Description I’m looking for an experienced Bubble.io developer (or small team) to build a fully-scoped referral-based marketplace MVP. This MVP is already fully architected — I just need someone who can execute it cleanly, simply, and exactly as outlined below. A view-only prototype is available to guide the UI layout, page structure, and brand direction: 👉 https://dealshark.netlify.app (Note: this prototype is read-only. You will be rebuilding the full UI in Bubble.) ⸻ ⭐ Overview of the Platform This is a marketplace where: Businesses • Create deals (commission or discount-only) • Pay nothing upfront • Only pay after a confirmed sale • Connect via Stripe Connect Express • Confirm referrals manually or let auto-confirm handle it • Set expiry dates OR maximum redemption limits Referrers • Share deals using unique referral links or QR codes • Earn automatically when a referral is confirmed • Track clicks, conversions, and payouts in a dashboard Customers • Click a link or scan a QR code • Purchase directly from the business (online or offline) • No checkout occurs inside the platform ⸻ ⭐ Core MVP Features (Fully Defined) 1.

Referral Flow • Referrer shares a unique link or QR • Customer clicks → pending referral is logged • Customer pays the business directly (not the platform) • Business confirms referral • Auto-confirm after X days prevents ignored referrals ⸻ 3.
