Which (price) Plan & Member's customising and selling their own goods/services

Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone and thanks in advance for your guidance, it's really appreciated. 

Firstly apologies if this has already been answered, but I couldn't find the answer through general searching.

In a nutshell, my platform requirement is quite simple and the best equivalent model is Etsy. Business requirements are as follow:

> Members are able to customise their owns Members Area with as much free rein as possible e.g. create public and private pages with group permission levels so certain user groups can only view pages by the creator.

> The Platform will facilitate the selling of members' goods and services to other users through its own commerce payment processing checkout i.e. Stripe and others and charge relevant transactions fees etc. 

> Members can create and sell their own subscriptions to other members and maybe even subscriber price plans with recurring payments.

> Member 'Wallet' section to manage their payment cards and view money in wallet.

> Member community circles by Groups e.g. Group A members can only reach out to other Group A members - however - Group B members who wish to reach out to Group A members need to pay a fee.

> Member sign up customisation and verification requirements - verify a members identity using a relevant API integration or a more manual operation e.g. member sends their driving licence to the Admin to verify identity, either at the sign up stage or within platform Member's Area.

> Member Area 'Landing Page' - community news feed which shows recent news posted by Members in their spaces, which the Admin can feed/re-post into this landing page - possibly even a Twitter style feed.

Questions:

1) Which SquareSpace price plan is right for my needs? (my initial thought is Commerce Basic)

2) Will I need additional APIs and other customisation e.g. the Commerce Advanced plan?
