How to let two users rate eachother?

[Vicky]

I’m trying to design a marketplace-like app where users can exchange items. I want them to be able to rate each other after exchanging items. However, I’m not quite sure how to set up collections.

Hey @Vicky,

In order to have two users rate each other (mutual 1-5 stars), you can use the following setup:

1. Create (Rating) collection:

   • Add “Rater” (as a relationship to Users).
   • Add “Ratee” (as a relationship to User).
   • Add “Stars” (as a number property), from 1 to 5.

2. For the Rating button: Add an action to Create a new Rating, and select the following data values: (Rater = Logged In User, Ratee = Current User, Stars = input or stars rating component).

3. To Show average rating, select Current user’s ratings => Average.

4. To prevent double rating, you can add the following visibility condition on the (Rating button): Current user’s ratings => Count, then add a filter (Rater ID is equal to Logged in user’s ID). Then keep the rest to be (Is equal to 0).

This method works well in a full marketplace app (buyers rate sellers, sellers rate buyers).

I’m launching a complete Adalo Marketplace Starter template this week (with chat, products, categories, payments, and mutual rating built-in).

I’ll let you know when it’s ready, happy to share a preview or cloneable if you’re interested.

Good luck with your app!
