How recurring dates work

In Seen Markets, one event = one date. There is no single “event” that has many dates. So:
  • A one-time market is one event for that day
  • A recurring market (weekly, monthly, etc.) is multiple events—one per date—that you manage as a series.
You create the first date, then add more dates by copying that event. Vendors apply to one date first; in their vendor portal they see your other dates and can quickly apply to the rest with their info prefilled.

How to set up recurring dates

1

Create your first event

Create one event for the first date of your series (e.g. first Saturday of the season). Fill in name, location, times, and everything else as usual.
2

Add another date

On that event’s management page, use “Add another date” (or duplicate/copy). This creates a new event for the next date—you are not editing the first one.
3

Copy what you want

When adding another date, you can copy vendors and booth assignments to the new event so you don’t start from scratch. Each date is still its own event so you can manage them separately (e.g. different vendors per date).
4

Share and manage

Publish and share your application form and event pages as usual. Vendors apply to one date first; then in their portal they see your other dates and can auto-apply to more—their info is prefilled. They choose which dates they attend.
Tip: Setting up the booth map, application form, and vendor list is easier on a computer at seenmarkets.com. The mobile app is great for creating markets, quick edits, and messaging vendors.

One-time vs recurring: quick comparison

Where to do it

  • Web: seenmarkets.com → your market → use “Add another date” / duplicate from the event or markets list.
  • Mobile app: Open the event and use the option to add another date or duplicate the market; you can copy vendors and booth assignments to the new date.
