Apply to a market for the first time

What to expect the first time you apply, and why you only set your details up once.


Applying the first time takes longer than every time after it, because you set
up your vendor details as you go. Those details are reused for every future
application.

One account covers every market and event you ever apply to. You never need a
second one.

Find the application

There are three ways in:

  • The Apply here button on the market's profile.

  • An application built into the market's own website.

  • A private email invitation, for an application not open to everyone.

You have to be signed in to apply. If you are not, you will be asked to sign in
or create an account first.

Set up your vendor details

The first time only, you are asked who you are:

  • Your vendor name
  • A logo, if you have one
  • A short description of your business
  • Your location address
  • A mailing address — this is how the market reaches you, and it is not
    shown to customers
  • Phone numbers, if you want to give them

Some markets also ask for a vendor type and a main product category. If a
market does not use those, you will not be asked.

That is the one-off part. Sign in with the same account next time and you go
straight to the application.

Fill in the application

Every market asks for something different, but most of it comes from this list:

  • A message at the top. Read it. It is where the market sets out its rules
    and what it expects.

  • Documents to read. Some you tick to agree to; some you sign.

    The Documents card, with the document to review and agree to

  • Documents to provide. Insurance, certificates. You upload these, and can
    set an expiry date where it matters.

    The Uploads card, with the certificate's file name and Expires on filled in

  • Questions, which vary a lot between markets.

    The Questions card, answered

  • Days to attend, if the market runs more than one and lets you choose.
    Some are all or nothing.

  • Rentals, such as a table or a tent, if the market offers them.

  • Products, if the market checks what you sell before accepting you. Add as
    many as you like and say which you would sell there.

  • Fees, if the market charges to apply or on approval.

  • A message box, for anything the questions did not cover.

Submit it

If there is an application fee, fill in your card under Payment first.
Then click the button at the bottom. It reads Apply, or Pay
application fees and apply
when there is a fee to pay now.

You land on a thank-you page, with a Review in Dashboard link back to your
vendor dashboard.

Your products stay with you

Anything you added in the products section is saved to your account. Find
it later under Products in your dashboard, and reuse it.
