Hi everyone, I’m building a job based marketplace app in **Glide** and I need help setting up **Stripe payments correctly**. **What I’m trying to achieve:** - Jobs are posted by clients - Assistants accept jobs (they have different levels: Level 1, 2, and 3) - Each level has a fixed rate (e.g. Level 1 = $175, Level 2 = $200, Level 3 = $225) - Once an assistant accepts a job, the **client pays via Stripe** - The client pays the **full job amount** - The platform takes a **service fee** - The remaining amount is tracked as the **assistant’s earnings** - Payments should be recorded in Glide (job marked as paid, earnings tracked per assistant) **What I need help with specifically:** - Best practice for implementing Stripe Checkout in Glide - How to structure the Payments table - How to calculate and store: - Stripe fees - Platform fees - Assistant payout - Whether to use manual payouts or Stripe Connect for assistants - How to update job status after successful payment I’m looking for a Glide-native approach that is scalable and follows marketplace best practices. Thanks in advance for your help ---

> [@Love\_Lina](#): > > I’m building a job based marketplace app in **Glide** My personal take. Use Glide for 1. internal business apps and automations, 2. startup prototypes, 3. some community apps, 4. and hobby projects. Does your application fit into one of these categories? To build a marketplace, there are many solutions out there that are better suited than Glide. ---

I’m in the middle of refining using Stripe Connect in Glide. Here’s where I’m at so far. Hopefully I’ll be able to create a comprehensive tutorial on this by the end of the month (or perhaps February 2026)! https://www.loom.com/embed/baf02578eef34b0ab39759698185e31a ---
