Use case

Craft fairs, run from one dashboard.

Run the event site, booth fees and admission tickets, applications from makers and crafters, booth assignments, and event-day check-in for juried craft fairs, handmade shows, and artisan showcases from one connected dashboard.

Craft fairs

Who it's for

Juried craft fairs, handmade shows, and artisan showcases.

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 admission tickets
  • Collect applications from makers and crafters
  • Assign booths on the floor-plan map
  • Run QR check-in at the door

The old way

What usually goes wrong.

Jurying from a shared inbox means photos, forms, and payments are never in the same place.

Makers and crafters 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 makers and crafters apply and pay online?

Yes. Makers and crafters 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 admission 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.
