## What vendors can do in the app

As a **vendor**, you use the app to manage your market applications, explore new markets, choose booths, message hosts, track payments, earn loyalty rewards, and order booth supplies. Same account as [seenmarkets.com](https://seenmarkets.com) — sign in once and switch to "Vendor" context if you also host events.

## Schedule tab (home)

This is your main screen. You see:

* **Upcoming markets** — every event you've applied to, with your status (pending, approved, waitlisted, denied).
* **"More dates available"** hint — if hosts you've worked with have upcoming dates you haven't applied to yet, the app nudges you to check the Explore tab.
* **Pending payments** — outstanding payment requests with a "Pay Now" button.
* **Choose booth** — when a host enables booth self-selection and you're approved, you'll see an option to pick your booth.

Tap any market to see details, message the host, view payments, or cancel participation.

## Explore tab

Browse markets from **hosts you've already worked with** — an easy way to find more dates or new events from organizers you know. Each host's upcoming markets are listed with a "Join" button that opens the vendor application form.

### Find markets

Tap **"Find events near you"** to search for new markets:

* Search by **name** or **location**.
* Filter by **state**.
* Use **"Near me"** for location-based results.
* Results include markets you haven't applied to yet — tap to apply.

## Messages tab

Two types of conversations:

* **Direct messages (DMs)** — Private one-on-one threads with the host of each market. When you have a question about a specific event, message the host directly.
* **Market chat** — A group channel for each market where you, the host, and other vendors can communicate. Useful for day-of logistics, open questions, and group coordination.

All your conversations are in one place.

## Loyalty tab

See loyalty programs from hosts you've participated with:

* **Progress** toward the next reward (based on number of markets attended).
* **Unlocked rewards** — discounts or credits you've earned.
* Each host's program is separate.

## Booth Design tab

* **Get AI feedback** — upload a photo of your booth setup and get suggestions.
* **Order booth supplies** — labels, packaging, bags, banners, signs, business cards, posters. These open the Print Shop filtered for vendor products.

## Market details (vendor view)

Tap any market from the Schedule tab to see:

* **Status pill** — your current application status.
* **Share** — invite friends and family to the event (application form, market page, Digital Market Guide).
* **Edit application** — update your application (opens on web).
* **Booth location** — see your assigned booth on the map (opens on web).
* **Message organizer** — open a DM thread with the host.
* **Payments due** — outstanding payment requests with pay link.
* **Notifications** — updates the host has sent.
* **Cancel participation** — withdraw from the event.
* **FAQs, social links, custom links** — event details.

## Booth self-selection

When a host enables it, approved vendors can **choose their own booth**:

1. From your market details, tap **Choose booth** (or "Add another booth").
2. See the interactive booth map with available, reserved, and taken booths.
3. Select a booth. Free booths confirm immediately; paid booths go to **Stripe checkout**.
4. Reservations have a time limit — complete checkout before the hold expires.

## Edit your profile

Tap **Edit Profile** from the header to update:

* Business name, logo, description
* Contact info (email, phone)
* Address
* Social links (Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, YouTube)
* Payment methods (Venmo, Cash App, PayPal)

This info is used across all markets you apply to.

## Menu (vendor)

* **Payment History** — all past payments (booth fees, etc.).
* **Order Booth Supplies** — Labels, Packaging, Bags, Banners, Signs, Business Cards, Posters.
* **Need help?** — Contact support.

## Switching between host and vendor

If you're both a host and a vendor:

1. Tap the **profile/account** icon.
2. See your **Vendor** account and any **host** organizations (teams).
3. Select **Vendor** to see your markets and profile, or select a team to manage that organization's events.

Same login — no separate vendor account.
