How to Start a Vendor Market: Simplify the Process with ShowUp

Starting a vendor market involves several key steps: recruiting vendors, collecting applications, managing payments, and maintaining communication with all involved parties.

It’s a time-consuming and often chaotic way of running things.

ShowUp simplifies all these steps by offering a single, user-friendly platform that brings everything together. It’s like Google Forms, but with all the communication, vendor management, and payment tools you need—all in one place.
