Marketplace

The MyVSSL Marketplace connects you with marine service providers. Learn how to find services and request quotes.

Browsing the Marketplace

Accessing the Marketplace

From your dashboard:

1. Tap the Browse Marketplace card, or
2. Use the menu and select Browse Marketplace

What You'll Find

Results are provider cards. Each card is one organization: the business name and the services that organization offers. Category chips filter those cards. The chips are not a fixed list of trades, and they are not crowd-sourced trade recommendations.

Finding Services

Search

The search field placeholder is "Search services or providers...".

Category chips

The chip row is All services, then one chip for each category that has an active offering. Each of those chips uses the catalog display label for that category (for example a label such as Antifouling when that category has an active offering).

• All services clears the filter.
• Tap another chip to show only that category. Tapping the same category chip again does not clear it.
• To clear a category, tap All services.

If no category has an active offering, the chip row is hidden.

Results summary

Under the chips, a line shows how many services match and how many providers those services belong to. An empty catalog says "No active service offerings". A filter with no hits says "No matching services".

Service Provider Cards
