How to Build a Marketplace User Portal with Glide

🚀 A step-by-step playbook to help you build scalable user portals—without writing code.

You've launched your MVP—now it’s time to transition to self-serve mode and let users manage their own profiles, applications, and subscriptions. But setting up a functional user portal comes with challenges:

❌ How do I let users manage their accounts without custom code?
❌ Can I replace tools like Memberstack with Glide?
❌ How do I structure a portal for a two-sided marketplace?
❌ How can I integrate payments, applications, and onboarding seamlessly?

You could spend months manually managing users—or you could automate everything with a self-serve user portal built in Glide.

📖 This course walks you through setting up user portals for directories, marketplaces, and membership platforms—step by step.

Why You Should Build a User Portal

A smart user portal automates onboarding, account management, and payments—so you don’t have to do it manually.

✅ Streamline Operations – Let users manage their accounts without admin intervention.
✅ Enable Self-Serve Workflows – Automate applications, payments, and profile updates.
✅ Increase Scalability – Manage hundreds or thousands of users effortlessly.
✅ No-Code Tools Make It Simple – Use Glide to set everything up—without custom development.

But building a user portal the right way is key to avoiding manual inefficiencies and broken processes.

💡 That’s exactly what this course teaches you—so you can build a scalable user system that works.

FAQs: Everything You Need to Know Before You Start

Do I need technical skills to follow this course?

No. MVMP Labs is 100% no-code friendly. Everything is built using tools like Webflow, Airtable, and automation workflows. If you can follow step-by-step tutorials, you can build your directory.

{"faq":[{"question":"Can’t I just manage users manually?", "answer":"If you only have a handful of users, manual management might work.

This course walks you through how to:\n✅ Use Glide to build a no-code user portal\n\n✅ Connect it with Airtable for dynamic data management\n\n✅ Automate key actions like signups, profile edits, and approvals\n\nIf you can follow a structured process and use basic no-code tools, you’ll be able to build this step by step.", "order":2},{"question":"Will this work for my business?", "answer":"This system works well for directories, marketplaces, and membership-based platforms.\n\nIf you need a self-serve dashboard for:\n✅ Coaches, freelancers, or service providers managing their listings\n\n✅ Students, members, or users applying for programs\n\n✅ Businesses managing their own profiles in a directory\n\n…this course will show you how to build a scalable user portal.", "order":3},{"question":"Can I customize this for my specific needs?", "answer":"Yes!

Will I be able to get help with my specific project?

Yes, you'll have access to our community forum, where you can post questions and get responses from me or other members. If you need one-on-one support, you can book a coaching session, but that’s a separate one-time cost outside of MVMP Labs.

Is there a refund policy if I don’t find the courses useful?

No, we do not offer refunds since this is a digital product. We've tried offering refunds in the past, but it wasn’t sustainable. If you want to get a sense of the teaching style, I recommend checking out my YouTube channel for technical tutorials. That will give you an idea of how the courses are structured before you commit.

Can I try MVMP Labs before committing to a full year?

No, we don’t currently offer a trial. However, we provide a lot of free resources on the website and YouTube that can give you a sense of what to expect before joining.

How difficult are these courses if I’m completely new to no-code?

It depends on your starting point, but the courses are structured to help anyone go from zero to building functional projects. If you’re completely new, I recommend starting with the Landing Page Engine before moving on to more complex projects like the directory course. If you’re comfortable using a computer and the internet, you should be able to follow along and get something up and running.
