# Creating booths

Booths represent the physical spaces at your event where vendors set up. Vendor Space lets you create and manage every booth so you have a clear picture of your event layout and availability.

## How to Create Booths

1. Navigate to the **event** you want to manage.
2. Go to the **Booth Management** section.
3. Click the **Add Booth** button.
4. Fill in the booth details and click **Save**.

## Booth Fields

When creating a booth, you will provide the following information:

| Field            | Description                                                                                               |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Booth Number** | A unique identifier for the booth within this event (for example, "A1", "B12", "101").                    |
| **Label**        | An optional friendly name or description (for example, "Corner Booth by Entrance", "Large Island Booth"). |
| **Product**      | The booth product type linked to this booth, which determines its pricing and features.                   |

### Booth Numbers

Every booth must have a unique number within its event. This is how you and your vendors identify specific booths. You can use any numbering scheme that works for your venue:

* Sequential numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4...
* Lettered rows: A1, A2, B1, B2...
* Zone-based: North-101, South-205...

> **Tip:** Choose a numbering scheme that matches your venue's floor plan. If vendors can easily find their booth using the number, setup day goes much more smoothly.

## Creating Multiple Booths

If your event has many booths, you can add them one at a time using the Add Booth button. Enter each booth's number, optional label, and linked product, then save and repeat.

> **Tip:** Set up all your booths before you start assigning vendors. Having the complete layout ready gives you a clear view of total inventory and helps you make better assignment decisions.

## Linking Booths to Products

Each booth can be linked to a booth product. The product defines the booth's type, pricing, and any included features. For example, you might have products like:

* "Standard 10x10 Booth" at $300
* "Premium Corner Booth" at $500
* "Double Booth" at $550

Linking a booth to a product ensures that vendors are charged the correct amount and that you can report on revenue by booth type.
