About TaapCraft

TaapCraft is a UK-based social commerce platform that functions as a marketplace for local services and goods. The company aims to connect communities by making skilled individuals and independent businesses more discoverable and trusted. Although founder details are not publicly specified, UK Companies House records for TaapCraft Ltd show its incorporation took place in 2024. The platform targets a wide array of sole traders and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), from builders and plumbers to bakers and beauticians, while serving consumers across the UK seeking their services. TaapCraft operates on a commission-based business model, charging traders a 12.5% fee only on completed and paid jobs. This approach contrasts with prevalent industry models that involve setup fees, monthly subscriptions, or charges for generating leads, positioning TaapCraft as a risk-free option for service providers. The app combines social discovery features with marketplace and payment functionalities. For consumers, it offers a way to find, compare, book, and pay for verified and insured local traders through a single interface. The integration of AI facilitates smarter matching of customers with professionals based on criteria like location, availability, and ratings. For traders, TaapCraft provides a comprehensive dashboard to manage leads, bookings, and payments, and to build a reputation through a social profile with reviews, photos, and videos. A key feature is the use of secure escrow payments, where a customer's deposit is held until the job is completed to ensure trust and security for both parties.
