Curating a balanced vendor mix is guesswork when applications live in five places.
Use case
Artisan markets, run from one dashboard.
Run the event site, booth fees and early-bird tickets, applications from artisans and small-batch makers, booth assignments, and event-day check-in for curated artisan markets, makers collectives, and design markets from one connected dashboard.
Who it's for
Curated artisan markets, makers collectives, and design markets.
Instead of sending attendees, vendors, sponsors, and staff through separate tools, every workflow stays attached to the same event record - so nothing falls through the cracks between your form tool, your ticket link, and your spreadsheet.
- Publish a branded event site
- Sell booth fees and early-bird tickets
- Collect applications from artisans and small-batch makers
- Assign booths on the floor-plan map
- Run QR check-in at the door
The old way
What usually goes wrong.
Artisans and small-batch makers apply in one tool while payments happen in another.
Booth assignments get redrawn in a spreadsheet nobody else can see.
Event-day staff work from printed lists that were stale before doors opened.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can artisans and small-batch makers apply and pay online?
Yes. Artisans and small-batch makers fill out a structured application with your custom questions, and once approved they can pay booth or table fees through Stripe checkout - or you can record manual payments like cash and checks.
Does VendlyNest sell booth fees and early-bird tickets too?
Yes - tickets, booths, sponsor packages, and add-ons all live in one commerce layer with capacity limits, sold-out protection, receipts, and QR passes.
Do we need a separate website builder?
No. Every event gets a multi-page microsite with themes, drag-and-drop content blocks, vendor and guest directories, and optional custom domains.
