# How do I edit my event map?

> Exactly how to edit your booth map and assign vendors

## 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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Booth Map Designer">
    Go to [seenmarkets.com](https://seenmarkets.com) → your market's management page → click the **Booth Map** card. This opens the designer canvas.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add landmarks">
    Click **Add Landmark** to mark key locations: entrances, exits, bathrooms, doors, power outlets, or custom labels. Place them on the canvas.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Save your changes. The Digital Market Guide updates automatically so shoppers see the latest map.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### 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

<Steps>
  <Step title="Click a booth on the map">
    In the Booth Map Designer, click any booth to open its options.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the map">
    Open the **Digital Market Guide** (or preview) to confirm the map and assignments look right.
  </Step>
</Steps>

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](https://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.

<Note>
  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.
