15 Email Templates for Marketplace Businesses

Transactional Email Templates for a classic service-based marketplace business.

By Fiona Macdougall, ex-marketplace founder and UX designer for early-stage marketplaces

What are transactional emails?

Transaction emails are notifications that you should send your users at various stages of the transaction process. For example, you might want to send a supplier a notification each time they receive a new booking. You might also want to send a customer a notification after the event to ask them to review the supplier.

Why do I need this?

When designing your transaction notifications, you’ll need to decide what event triggers each notification and the content of each notification.

I've done a lot of the hard work for you by including the classic email templates and triggers that you might find in a service-based marketplace like Airbnb.

This document will also help you to communicate the notification system with your developers.

How should I use it?

All you need to do is sign up duplicate this template and tailor it to your own business.
