Three ways to collect payment

Pick the method that fits your workflow. You can mix and match across vendors.

​
1. Request payment directly

The most common method. You send a payment request and the vendor gets a Stripe checkout link.
1

Open your vendor table

Go to seenmarkets.com → your market’s management page → scroll to the Vendor management table.
2

Request payment

Expand a vendor row and click Request Payment. Enter:
  • Amount (e.g. $75)
  • Description (e.g. “Booth Fee — 10x10 Space”)
3

Vendor pays

The vendor gets an email with a secure Stripe checkout link. They click it and pay. The payment also shows as “Pay Now” in the vendor’s mobile app and portal. Once paid, the status updates automatically.

​
2. Booth pricing + self-selection

Set prices on booths and let approved vendors pay when they pick their spot. Fully hands-off.
1

Set booth prices

In the Booth Map Designer, set a price on each booth when you create or edit it (e.g. 50fora10x10,50 for a 10x10, 100 for a corner spot).
2

Enable self-selection

On the market management page, open Booth Selection Settings and enable vendor self-selection. Set a hold time (how long a vendor can hold a reservation before it expires).
3

Vendors pick and pay

Approved vendors see the booth map with prices. They select a booth, go to Stripe checkout, and pay. The booth is assigned automatically after payment.

​
3. Record a manual payment

For cash, check, Venmo, or any payment outside of Stripe.
1

Open the vendor row

In the vendor management table, expand the vendor.
2

Record payment

Click Record Payment (manual). Enter the amount and description, then mark as paid.
3

Done

The vendor’s payment status updates. No Stripe fees apply since payment happened outside the platform.

​
Before you can collect payments

You need Stripe connected to use methods 1 and 2. Set this up at seenmarkets.com/settings/payments or from the Getting started checklist in the mobile app.
  • We charge a 2% platform fee on top of Stripe’s standard fees.
  • You can pass the 2% fee to vendors so they cover it — configure this in your payment settings.

​
Tracking payments

All payments (Stripe and manual) are tracked in the vendor management table:
  • Pending — requested, waiting for vendor.
  • Paid — completed.
  • Failed — Stripe attempt failed.
  • Cancelled — you cancelled the request.
You can also cancel pending requests and resend the payment link if a vendor lost the email.

​
Where vendors pay

  • Email — they get a Stripe checkout link.
  • Mobile app — pending payments show on the Schedule tab with “Pay Now.”
  • Web portal — pending payments appear on the vendor dashboard.
