Creating your first market

After setting up your organization profile, the next step is creating a market. A market is the event or series you run, like "Springfield Saturday Market," "Riverside Craft Fair," or "Harbor Street Festival."

Go to Markets in your admin sidebar and click New Market. Fill in the event name, description, location, and any details vendors need to know before applying, such as booth sizes, product restrictions, or setup requirements.

Once your market is created, you can add individual event dates and start accepting applications. Vendors won't see your listing until you publish at least one date.
