A marketplace feature request form covers the request, what other flows it affects, the key decisions to make early, and basic marketplace volume context.
A feature request lands, everyone calls it “simple”, and then the change ripples into seller tools, payments, search ranking, and support rules. The Marketplace Feature Request Form gives a marketplace team one place to collect the details that decide what to build, what to decline, and what needs sharper requirements before anyone commits.
The form opens with contact details, then moves into What I need, which frames the kind of answers that prevent edge-case chaos later. The questions ask for the feature description, what else changes if the feature ships, what decisions have to get made up front to avoid rework, how sellers might game search and fees, whether a smaller first version stays safe, and rough marketplace volume. The page uses ochre and marine tones with Syne headings and Inter body text, so the request reads like a product decision record instead of a chat thread.
- Contact details Required name and email fields, plus an optional phone number, so the request can be routed and clarified.
- Feature description A written explanation of what needs to be added, in the requester’s own words.
- Flow impact check A prompt to call out which other marketplace flows change if the feature ships, before scoping starts.
- Up-front decisions A question that surfaces the rules you need to lock in early so the build doesn’t get rebuilt twice.
- Marketplace context Optional volume info for active sellers and monthly transactions, to ground the request in scale.
Once the form is in Plutio, you share the link and responses land in your workspace as they’re submitted, leaving you with a consistent intake to triage and follow up on.
We went from spending hours on every proposal to creating fully customized ones in under 5 minutes. That's not an exaggeration - we timed it.
