Tutti Vacation

About This Project

Tutti Vacation is a full-featured vacation services marketplace built on the Sharetribe platform, designed to transform how travelers experience Maui, Hawaii. The platform connects vacationers with carefully vetted local service providers, offering everything from in-rental massages and surf instruction to private chefs and babysitting services.

Our team was brought in to build custom features on top of the Sharetribe Web Template, most notably a sophisticated booking negotiation system that allows providers and customers to adjust bookings after the initial reservation — a feature not natively supported by Sharetribe.

The platform serves a dual purpose: making vacations more enjoyable for travelers while creating meaningful job opportunities for Maui's local workforce. With its user-friendly interface, guests can discover, book, and manage a wide array of personalized services — all from a single platform.

## Key Features We Built

### Booking Negotiation System
The centerpiece of our custom development was a full booking adjustment flow that allows service providers to propose changes to accepted bookings. This involved creating custom Sharetribe transaction process transitions, new UI screens for both providers and customers, and Stripe integration for processing payment differences (additional charges or partial refunds).

**How It Works:**
1. Customer books and pays the full amount
2. Provider accepts the booking
3. Provider can click "Propose Adjustment" to modify pricing or services
4. Customer receives a notification and reviews the proposed changes
5. Customer accepts or declines the adjustment
6. Payment difference is automatically processed via Stripe

### Service Categories
The marketplace supports a diverse range of vacation services, each with tailored booking flows:
