WordPress freight marketplace theme
ShipMe is an all-in-one WordPress theme for building a freight exchange and transport marketplace — the reverse-auction model that made uShip, Shiply, and CitizenShipper household names. Customers post what they need moved, vetted transporters compete with quotes, and you earn revenue on every transaction that flows through the platform.
A traditional shipping quote works top-down: you call a carrier and accept their price. A reverse auction flips that around. The shipper describes the job — a car from Los Angeles to Chicago, a house move, two pallets of tiles, even a family pet — and multiple transporters submit competing bids. Because carriers bid against each other, prices fall to the true market rate.
Shippers get a transparent, competitive process. Carriers fill empty miles and backhauls with paying loads. And your platform sits in the middle as the trusted marketplace — holding funds in escrow, protecting communication, and taking a commission on every connection it makes.
Nine core systems, one theme. No fragile stack of mismatched plugins, no custom development bill.
A guided, multi-step form captures pickup, destination, dates, dimensions, weight, and photos. Admin-defined custom fields adapt to any category — car transport, home moves, pallets — no code required.
Transporters submit quotes with an ETA and a message; shippers compare price, rating, and completed jobs, then award in one click. Run open or sealed bidding, and charge carriers credits to bid.
Funds are held safely from award to confirmed delivery, then released to the carrier minus your commission. Carriers withdraw their balance; admins resolve disputes with refunds.
An on-site inbox with near-real-time updates keeps coordination on the platform. Contact details are automatically scrubbed, and every conversation is admin-moderatable.
After each delivery, both sides leave star ratings and feedback tied to a real transaction — reputation can't be faked. Scores appear in bid tables and on public profiles.
Pickup-to-destination routes render on an interactive map with automatic distance calculation, and carriers find work near them with location and radius search.
Control centers for shippers, carriers, and admins: track shipments, manage proposals, top up credits, request payouts, and monitor GMV, revenue, and active users.
Top-ups and escrow deposits through PayPal and Stripe behind a clean gateway layer — server-side amounts, webhooks, refunds, and payouts with full ledger auditing.
Carriers post status updates (picked up → in transit → delivered) with optional GPS on a live timeline. A secure REST API powers native iOS and Android apps.
Admin-managed categories and custom fields let you launch in any transport vertical — or all of them at once. The same platform that powers a car-shipping exchange can run a moving marketplace or a pallet load board.
Cars, motorcycles, boats, RVs, and non-runners on trailers.
Single items, part-loads, and full home removals.
Same-day, next-day, and oversized packages.
LTL, FTL, and palletized goods between depots.
Pets, livestock, and equine moves.
Heavy equipment, generators, and abnormal loads.
A customer describes what they're moving, sets the route and dates, and adds photos. The listing goes live and matching carriers are alerted instantly.
Transporters submit competitive quotes. The shipper compares price, rating, and reviews, asks questions in the inbox, and awards the best offer.
Funds are held in escrow during transit and released on delivery, minus your commission. Both parties leave feedback, building trust for the next job.
Four proven revenue streams, all configurable from the admin, computed server-side, and recorded in an auditable ledger — so your revenue scales automatically as your community grows.

Because escrow and credits live inside the platform, you capture the full value of each transaction instead of watching members take deals off-site. Contact-info scrubbing in messaging and on-platform payments keep the marketplace sticky — and your commissions intact.
Building a marketplace from scratch can cost six figures and months of engineering. ShipMe gives you a battle-tested foundation on the world's most popular CMS — you own your platform, your data, and your roadmap.
Everything is search-engine friendly: clean URLs, category and route landing pages, structured listings, and fast templates that bring organic traffic from people searching for "car transport quotes," "house removal companies," or "pallet delivery" every day.
iOS & Android
We can also build you a native mobile app for iOS and Android, fully connected to your ShipMe website. Shippers post jobs and accept bids from their phone, carriers pick up work on the road, and everyone follows deliveries live on a map.
