How vendor accounts work
Vendors use the same platform as hosts — one account for everything. They sign in at seenmarkets.com or the mobile app, apply to markets, manage their profile, communicate with hosts, and track payments.The vendor flow
Sign in or create an account
Vendors go to seenmarkets.com or the mobile app. They sign in with email/password, Google, or Apple. One account works for all markets.
Apply to a market
Vendors use the application form link you share (e.g.
seenmarkets.com/markets/.../apply). They fill out the form — business name, contact, description, product categories, custom questions, and optionally a giveaway prize contribution. No account is required to start the form; one is created during submission.Track applications
In the vendor portal (web or app), vendors see every market they’ve applied to and their status: pending, approved, waitlisted, or denied. They get an email when you change their status.
Apply to more dates
If you have recurring dates, vendors see your other dates and can apply with one tap — their info is prefilled. They choose which dates they want to attend.
Choose a booth
When you enable booth self-selection, approved vendors see the booth map and pick their own spot. Free booths confirm immediately; paid booths go to Stripe checkout.
Pay booth fees
When you request payment, vendors get an email with a Stripe checkout link. Pending payments also show in the mobile app and vendor portal with a “Pay Now” button.
Message the host
Vendors can DM you directly from the market details in their portal or the app. Messages are per-market so conversations stay organized.
