What hosts can do in the app

This is your main screen. You see:- Getting started checklist (if new) — walks through payments setup and first event creation.
- Upcoming markets — list of your team’s events with name, dates, logo, and published status.
- Schedule page link — copy and share your public schedule URL that lists all your upcoming events for vendors and shoppers.

Create and manage events
Add an event
Tap Add to create a new market. Fill in: name, description, dates/times, timezone, location, contact info, social links, admission fee, custom links, and FAQs. You can also mark it as recurring.
Add another date (recurring)
On any event, use Add another date. This duplicates the event for a new date — copies the application form, booth map, links, and FAQs. Optionally copy vendors and booth assignments. Each date stays its own event to manage separately.
Pro plan
Your first event is free. To create unlimited events, upgrade to Pro:- In the app: Subscribe via Apple (App Store) or Google Play.
- On the web: Subscribe via Stripe at seenmarkets.com.
Getting started checklist
When you’re new, the app shows two steps:- Set up payments — Connect Stripe to collect booth fees and application fees from vendors. The walkthrough explains why (no spreadsheets, automatic tracking) and links directly to payment settings on the web. Mark complete when done.
- Add your first event — Walks through one-time vs recurring events, “Add another date,” and how vendors apply to multiple dates. Mark complete when done.
