# Mobile app for hosts

> Exactly what hosts can do in the Seen Markets app

## What hosts can do in the app

As a **host**, you use the app to create events, manage recurring dates, message vendors, share links, and check the getting started guide. For detailed setup (booth map design, application form editing, vendor table management), use [seenmarkets.com](https://seenmarkets.com).

## Schedule tab (home)

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.
* **"+ Add"** button — create a new market.
* **Per-market actions** — tap to open details; long-press or use the menu for "Add date" (duplicate) or "Delete."

## Create and manage events

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish and share">
    Toggle **Publish** on a market (with option to notify vendors). Then share the **application form link**, **market page**, or **Digital Market Guide** (with downloadable QR code).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Plans & Pricing

Your first event is **free** with all core features. To unlock unlimited events, choose a plan:

| Plan              | Price       | Processing Fee         |
| ----------------- | ----------- | ---------------------- |
| **Free**          | \$0         | 2%                     |
| **Pro**           | \$39.99/mo  | 2%                     |
| **Pro Plus**      | \$99.99/mo  | 0%                     |
| **Pro Concierge** | \$999.99/mo | 0% + white glove setup |

* **In the app:** Subscribe to Pro via Apple (App Store) or Google Play.
* **On the web:** Subscribe to any tier via Stripe at [seenmarkets.com/pricing](https://seenmarkets.com/pricing).

If you have more than one event without a paid plan, you'll see an "Upgrade" banner.

## Getting started checklist

When you're new, the app shows two steps:

1. **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.
2. **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.

## How do I…? (direct guides)

Tap the orange **How do I…?** pill in the header. It opens a sheet with links to step-by-step guides:

* **Demo walkthrough of the vendor accounts** → [vendor accounts demo](/vendor-accounts-demo)
* **Setup my event with recurring dates** → [recurring dates](/recurring-dates)

## Market details (host view)

Tap any market to see:

* **Logo** — upload or change.
* **Publish toggle** — publish and optionally notify vendors.
* **Share** — application form, market page, Digital Market Guide + QR code.
* **Manage on web** — opens the full market management page.
* **Booth map** — opens the booth map on the web.
* **Send notification** — send an update to all vendors for this market.
* **Vendor list** — see all vendors with status; tap to DM.
* **FAQs, social links, custom links** — view and quick-edit.

## Messaging

### Direct messages (DMs)

From a market's vendor list, tap any vendor to open a **DM thread**. Messages are per-market so conversations stay organized. You can also access all message threads from the **Messages** tab.

### Market chat

Each market has a **group chat channel** visible to you, your team members, and all vendors in that market. Use it for day-of coordination, open Q\&A, or group updates where you want vendor replies visible to everyone. Access market chat from the **Messages** tab.

## Schedule page

Your organization has a **public schedule page** that lists all upcoming events. From the Schedule tab, copy the URL or preview it. Share this link so vendors and shoppers can see everything you have coming up and apply directly.

## Menu

From the **hamburger menu** you get:

* **Marketing** — Print Shop, Loyalty Program, All Vendors, All Shoppers (these open on the web).
* **Settings** — General, Payments Setup, Team Members, Email Preferences & Templates, Email Integration, Email Logs.
* **Need help?** — Contact support.
