Vendor Space is a vendor, sponsor, and payment management platform designed specifically for event organizers, with the core goal of replacing the previously fragmented spreadsheets, email exchanges, invoices, contracts, forms, and check-in processes with a single unified console.
Main Purpose
Event organizers can use Vendor Space to manage vendors, collect applications, process payments, and coordinate events. The platform integrates vendor management, booth maps, contracts, payments, analytics, and sponsor tracking into the same dashboard.
Main Capabilities
The platform provides six modules:
- Vendor Management: Centrally manage vendor information.
- Booth Map: Provides a visual interactive floor plan, supporting drag-and-drop assignment, real-time availability viewing, and automatic conflict detection.
- Digital Contracts: Send, sign, and track vendor contracts, with built-in electronic signature functionality.
- Payment Processing: Powered by Stripe, it can track payments in real time and automatically calculate fees.
- Data Analytics: Track revenue, vendor participation, and event performance metrics.
- Sponsor Tracking: Create custom sponsorship tiers, track deliverables, and manage sponsor relationships.
In addition, the platform supports self-service registration: vendors can apply, pay, and manage their own participation information through a dedicated portal. Organizers review and approve applications in the dashboard.
How to Use
Organizers can create events, set booth options and pricing, and then instantly share the vendor registration page. It is officially stated that most organizers can get their first event online within 15 minutes, with no technical setup required. For payments, the platform integrates Stripe Connect, supporting major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfers in more than 40 countries, with funds deposited directly into the connected Stripe account. The platform also connects to more than 7,000 apps through APIs and Zapier, allowing new vendors to be pushed to a CRM, payments to be synced to accounting systems, or Slack reminders to be triggered automatically.
Use Cases
Vendor Space is suitable for various vendor events, such as art markets. Organizers can view all events in one dashboard, independently track vendors, payments, and booth assignments for each event, and also view aggregated analytics across the entire event portfolio.
