Fill Out Market Details

Complete the market creation form with the following information: - Market Name: The official name of your market - Description: A brief overview that will be shown to vendors and shoppers - Address Information: The physical location where the market will take place - Contact Information: - Contact Name - Phone Number - Email Address These details will be available to vendors and shoppers who need to reach you.

Set Market Schedule

Specify when your market will take place: - Start Date and Time: When the market begins - End Date and Time: When the market concludes - Is Recurring?: Indicate if this is a one-time event or a recurring market
