How we made Marketplace work

2. Engaging Facebook active users

People use Facebook widely and frequently, often multiple times a day. Adding a local and shipped commerce solution only extended the value of the app and the things that could be done with it.

3. Integrating with Messenger

Being integrated with Facebook Messenger makes communication fast and easy.

4. Leveraging the Groups community

This idea of people-powered commerce, buying from your neighbors, and reducing waste was part of the ethos of the product from the start.
