FAQ

## Questions event managers ask.

Can makers attach photos to their application?

Yes — your application form can ask for product photos, a description and their social links, so you curate from the work itself.

How do I manage a waitlist?

Waitlisted makers sit in their own list; when a stall frees up you send an offer and they accept from their portal.

Can I balance categories so we don’t have ten candle stalls?

Yes — every applicant is tagged by category, so you can see the mix before you accept and cap categories as you go.

How do makers pay their stall fee?

Each accepted booking generates an invoice with a card payment link; money lands in your Stripe, Square or PayPal account with no transaction fee from LocalStalls.

Can I reuse the same site layout every market?

Yes — build the map once, mark your zones, and drag makers in for each date.

Is there a free plan?

Yes — publish your form and take applications on the Free plan with no time limit; paid plans have a 30-day free trial.
