Adding vendors

Every vendor you work with starts here. Adding a vendor to Vendor Space creates a company profile that you can track across all of your events, from first contact to event day.

Assigning Vendors to Events

When you add a vendor, you can assign them to events during creation or later from their company profile. Assigning a vendor to an event places them into the Lead stage of that event's vendor pipeline, so you can start tracking their progress right away.

A single vendor can be assigned to as many events as you like. Their pipeline stage is tracked independently for each event, so the same vendor can be a Lead for an upcoming market and Paid for a different one.


What Happens After You Add a Vendor

Once a vendor is created, you can:

  • View and edit their details from their company profile

  • Move them through the vendor pipeline for each event

  • Send them a payment link to collect booth fees

  • Send them onboarding forms to gather additional information

  • Message them directly from Vendor Space

Tip: You don't need to fill in every field up front. You can always come back to a vendor's profile and add details later as you learn more about them.


Adding Vendors in Bulk

If you have a list of vendors in a spreadsheet, you can save time by importing them all at once using the CSV import feature. See Importing from CSV for details.
