What the event map is

The booth map is an interactive canvas where you place booths, landmarks, and an optional background image (like a venue floor plan). You design it in the Booth Map Designer on the web, assign vendors to booths, and shoppers see it in the Digital Market Guide.

How to edit the booth map

1

Open the Booth Map Designer

Go to seenmarkets.com → your market’s management page → click the Booth Map card. This opens the designer canvas.
2

Add a background image (optional)

Upload a floor plan or aerial photo of your venue. You can position, resize, and adjust the opacity so it sits behind your booths as a reference layer.
3

Add booths

Click Add Booths. Set the width, height, and how many to create. They appear on the canvas — drag them into position. You can rotate, resize, rename (e.g. “A1”, “B3”), and set a price per booth.
4

Add landmarks

Click Add Landmark to mark key locations: entrances, exits, bathrooms, doors, power outlets, or custom labels. Place them on the canvas.
5

Save

Save your changes. The Digital Market Guide updates automatically so shoppers see the latest map.

Import a layout from another market

If you’ve already designed a layout for a previous market, click Import Layout and select the market to copy from. The booths, landmarks, and background transfer to your new market so you don’t start from scratch.

How to assign vendors to booths

1

Click a booth on the map

In the Booth Map Designer, click any booth to open its options.
2

Assign a vendor

Choose Assign vendor and select from your approved vendors. The vendor’s name appears on that booth. Assigned booths turn green in the designer (this color is only visible to you, not shoppers).
3

Check the map

Open the Digital Market Guide (or preview) to confirm the map and assignments look right.
You can also assign booths from the Vendor management table on the same market page — expand a vendor row and assign a booth from there.

Booth pricing and vendor self-selection

Hosts can set a price on each booth. When booth self-selection is enabled:
  1. Approved vendors see the booth map and can reserve a booth themselves.
  2. Free booths: vendor reserves and confirms.
  3. Paid booths: vendor reserves → goes to Stripe checkout → booth is assigned after payment.
  4. Reservations have a time-limited hold so booths don’t stay locked if a vendor doesn’t complete checkout.
To enable this, go to your market’s management page and look for Booth Selection Settings.

Where to do it

  • Web (recommended for map editing): seenmarkets.com → your market → Booth Map. The full designer with drag-and-drop, background images, and booth pricing is on the web.
  • Mobile app: You can view the market and share links. For designing and editing the booth map, use the website.
The map and assignments are shared everywhere: vendor list, Digital Market Guide, vendor portal, and any printed or digital materials that use your market’s link or QR code.
