Munasbati books venues, catering, décor and entertainment from several vendors in one bilingual cart, with deposit payments, vendor KYC and loyalty built in.
When the client approves real metrics — vendors onboarded, bookings processed — we'll swap scope stats for business outcomes.
Munasbati is a Kuwait event marketplace for users, vendors and admins: a couple books multiple vendors in one checkout and pays a deposit, vendors manage listings, bookings and revenue behind KYC-verified profiles, and the whole thing runs bilingually on local payment rails with SMS OTP.
The client's vision was ambitious: one platform serving users, vendors, and administrators — where a couple could book a venue, catering, and entertainment in the same session, pay a deposit, and track everything from one dashboard. That meant solving multi-vendor checkout, deposit payments, vendor KYC, and a loyalty program simultaneously, in two languages, with Kuwait's payment rails.
Planning a wedding or event in Kuwait meant contacting venues on Instagram, negotiating catering over WhatsApp, visiting décor shops in person, and managing deposits through bank transfers — with no single place to compare, book, or track everything together. Miscommunications, hidden costs, and last-minute cancellations were the norm.
Vendors had no centralized tools to manage their listings, bookings, or revenue. No standardized trust mechanisms like KYC or verified reviews existed. And regional needs — Arabic RTL, local payment gateways, SMS OTP — were ignored by every generic solution on the market.
We started where every NLS build starts: scope before code. Working from the client's brief, we mapped the three products against one shared backend, then made the architecture decisions that kept a complex marketplace shippable:
Flutter for iOS and Android — one team, one timeline, no feature drift between platforms.
Node.js APIs on AWS with MongoDB serving the user app, vendor dashboard, and admin panel — so a booking made in the app appears in the vendor's calendar and the admin's reports in real time.
MyFatoorah, UPayment, and KNET; full Arabic with RTL layouts; and SMS OTP via SMSBox — because in Kuwait, trust starts with the right language and the right payment method.
Partial and full payment flows with a deposit system that protects both users and vendors until the event is confirmed — the way high-value bookings actually work.
Weekly demos kept the client watching the product grow — booking flows one Friday, vendor dashboards the next.
Munasbati is live on the App Store, Google Play, and web — serving Kuwait's event planning community in Arabic and English.
Users discover, compare, and book multiple vendors in one session — a process that previously required days of separate negotiations.
Planning lives inside the app: the built-in event planner and budget tracker keep every booking, deposit, and payment for an event in one place — no spreadsheets, no WhatsApp threads.
Vendors run their entire business from one dashboard: listings, bookings, promotions, revenue, and payouts.
The deposit system protects both sides — users commit with partial payment, vendors confirm with confidence.
The loyalty program gives couples a reason to come back — points earned on every booking redeem against the next one, while promotions and featured listings keep vendors visible where users are already shopping.
The marketplace is self-governing: vendor KYC, listing approvals, and payout control all sit with the admin — no developer needed for daily operations.
One Flutter codebase means every future feature ships to iOS and Android simultaneously.
Kuwait's national debit network at checkout.
Payment aggregator for cards and local methods.
Kuwaiti payment gateway at checkout.
SMS one-time codes for phone sign-in.
