The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

In view of the costly and inefficient mass ordering processes for European companies and consumers looking for products from Chinese manufacturers, a novel solution was sought. This case study shows the development of a tailor-made marketplace platform, which is Bubble.io was developed. The platform's design was specifically aimed at eliminating the additional costs associated with traditional wholesale and retail channels and connecting European buyers directly with Chinese manufacturers to streamline the procurement process.
The key challenge for our customer was to manage the complexity of direct large orders from Chinese manufacturers. European companies and individual consumers were hampered by prohibitive shipping costs and high minimum order quantities, which made buying small quantities from China both impracticable and costly. There are also logistical challenges and the need for a streamlined process that connects European buyers directly with Chinese suppliers and avoids traditional, more expensive procurement channels.
In response to this challenge, with Bubble.io developed a sophisticated marketplace platform. This platform enabled users to combine smaller orders into lower-cost bulk purchases in an innovative way. It made it easier to access cheaper shipping rates and discounts for bulk orders, which directly benefited European buyers. The platform's capabilities were extensive: It offered secure user logins, a dynamic interface for product creation with customizable quantities and variations, and an automated system for coordinating orders. In addition, secure payment gateways were integrated, which streamlined the entire buying process from ordering to payment, significantly improving the user experience.
1. Database design: Build a robust database to manage products, orders, users, and transactions. Ensuring scalability for growing inventories and user numbers.
2. User authentication: Implementation of a secure login system for various user roles (buyer, seller, administrator).
3. Product listing and management: Allow sellers to create and manage product listings, with options for different quantities, prices, and descriptions.
4. Aggregation of orders: Developer of a feature that allows users to combine small orders into larger bulk orders to provide better pricing and shipping options.
5. Payment integration: You can integrate reliable payment gateways to securely process transactions.
6. Shipping and logistics coordination: Use tools to track and manage shipping, particularly for large orders from multiple suppliers.
7. UI/UX design: Focus on designing an intuitive and easy-to-use interface.
8. Feedback and rating system: Add features for user reviews and feedback to build trust and improve service quality.
9. Analytics and Reports: Implement analytics features for sellers and administrators to track sales, orders, and user engagement.
10. Customer Support and Chat System: Integrate a customer support system and chat features for real-time help and communication.
The result was a more efficient and cost-effective procurement process. Bubble.io made it possible to buy directly from manufacturers and significantly reduced costs for European consumers and companies, as wholesalers and retailers became superfluous. The project, which was completed within a short period of time, has shown how effective customized web applications are in solving complex industrial challenges.
This case study demonstrates how innovative digital solutions can transform traditional business processes while offering significant benefits in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
