Build a fully functional marketplace with property listings, search, booking calendar, and user profiles. This tutorial walks you through creating an Airbnb-style platform for any rental or booking business.
Use JustCopy.ai to clone the Airbnb interface and layout structure
What gets cloned:
Adapt the search functionality for your marketplace niche
Customization examples: For a car rental marketplace, change "Where to?" to "Pick-up location". For equipment rental, change date inputs to "Rental period start/end".
Create property cards with images, pricing, and ratings
Key elements: High-quality images, pricing per night/day, star ratings, number of reviews, quick preview of key features (bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.).
Design comprehensive property pages with gallery, amenities, and booking
Essential sections: Photo gallery, detailed description, amenities list, location map, availability calendar, host profile, reviews section, and booking card.
Create date picker, guest selection, and booking confirmation
Booking components: Interactive calendar with blocked dates, guest counter, pricing breakdown (nightly rate × nights, cleaning fee, service fee), total calculation, and "Reserve" button.
Set up host and guest profiles with authentication
Account features: User registration/login, host dashboard for managing listings, guest dashboard for bookings, profile editing, reviews management, and messaging system.
Launch your marketplace and gather user feedback
Launch checklist: Set up payment processing (Stripe), configure email notifications, test booking flow end-to-end, add terms of service and privacy policy.
Your Airbnb clone will include these essential marketplace features:
Location search, date availability, price range, property type, amenities, guest count, and instant booking filters
Google Maps integration showing listing locations, nearby attractions, and neighborhood information
Date picker with blocked unavailable dates, pricing calculator, booking request workflow, and confirmation emails
Host and guest accounts, profile photos, bio, verification badges, and review history
5-star rating system, written reviews, photo uploads, host responses, and overall rating calculations
In-app messaging between hosts and guests, booking inquiries, and automated notification emails
Stripe integration, secure payment handling, host payouts, refund management, and transaction history
Listing management, availability calendar, pricing controls, booking management, and analytics
A production-ready marketplace platform with:
Use AI to integrate a proper date picker library like react-day-picker or date-fns. Specify "Add a calendar with blocked dates for booked periods".
You'll need to add a Google Maps API key. Ask AI to "Integrate Google Maps with API key placeholder" and add your key in the environment variables.
The clone creates the UI. You'll need to connect it to a backend or database. Start with Supabase or Firebase for quick database setup.
Stripe has excellent documentation. Use AI to "Add Stripe checkout for booking payments" and follow Stripe's setup guide for your account.
Optimize images using Next.js Image component. Ask AI to "Replace img tags with Next.js Image component for optimization".
Absolutely! The same structure works for car rentals, equipment sharing, event spaces, boat rentals, or any booking marketplace. Just customize the search fields and listing attributes.
Yes, the clone creates the frontend UI. You'll need to add a backend for data persistence. We recommend Supabase (easiest), Firebase, or a custom Node.js/Python API.
Stripe Connect is the best solution for marketplaces. It handles both customer payments and automated host payouts, with built-in fraud protection.
The UI is production-ready, but you'll need to add proper error handling, security measures, and testing before launching to real users.
With JustCopy.ai handling the frontend (30 mins), plus backend setup (1-2 weeks), payment integration (2-3 days), and testing, you can launch an MVP in 2-3 weeks.
The cloned code is responsive and works on mobile browsers. For native apps, you can use React Native and share much of the component logic.
Clone Airbnb's proven UI and customize it for your marketplace in under 30 minutes.
