MorphMarket Exotic Animal Marketplace

We developed a full-stack online marketplace platform for MorphMarket, the world’s leading platform for buying and selling reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. The platform supports thousands of breeders and enthusiasts across the globe with real-time listings, advanced filtering, and direct communication between buyers and sellers. The system is built on a scalable backend powered by Python (Django), with a cloud-based infrastructure supporting high volumes of image uploads, location-based search, and custom price tracking. On the frontend, we used React.js to build a responsive, high-performance interface that supports mobile and desktop experiences equally well. Key features include: Live animal listings with dynamic traits and genetic lineages Multi-tiered filtering and tagging by species, location, genetics, price, and availability Integrated breeder storefronts with reputation, badges, and policy management Real-time buyer/seller chat Wishlist and watchlist functionality Custom notification system (price drops, new listings, inquiry replies) Moderation tools and listing review workflows Stripe-powered secure checkout integration In addition to user-facing features, we also delivered a robust admin interface, analytics dashboard for breeders, and a breeder directory with map-based search. Designed for global scalability, MorphMarket now handles millions of monthly page views, thousands of concurrent listings, and seamless interactions between tens of thousands of active users. The platform not only supports a niche community — it defines and leads it.
