I just want to get this into the Reddit archives because when I went searching I came up empty handed.

I built and launched a ShareTribe marketplace over the last several months under their Pro Plan which is their highest teir no code option. The site is beautiful and seems to function well..but it does not integrate with Stripe tax services.

In order to calculate and collect taxes at checkout I need to upgrade to their Extend plan which provides access to the sites code. I would then need to edit the code (or pay a developer) and pay a subscription to host the custom code with a third party provider. Increases base web cost by about 60 percent. (They would basically be charging me $1200 extra a year just to access the code, while all the actual work is on me).

So if you are looking for a full service no code markplace, ShareTribe is not it if you need to collect taxes. Please learn from my mistake. I'm disappointed the company was not more transparent about such a critical business function. Currently looking for other options if anyone has suggestions.
