Ask for the link, not a portfolio
A website/Instagram URL field beats file uploads — you review vendors where their work already lives, and the form stays fast to fill.
Form template · Vendor registration
For farmers markets, craft fairs, and festivals: vendor applications that arrive with the category, the booth needs, and the Instagram — everything the selection committee looks at.
Every template is free and fully editable in the drag-drop builder — swap fields, colors, and the button label before you publish.
No server, API route, or SDK — your Vendor Registration Form posts straight to one endpoint.
Every submission is emailed to you and saved to a searchable dashboard — spam filtered before it reaches you.
It's plain HTML you own — paste the Vendor Registration Form snippet, swap in your access key, and ship.
Copy and ship
HTML by default — the same field set also renders as React, Next.js, PHP, and cURL in your dashboard. Every variant posts to the same /api/submit endpoint. Replace YOUR_ACCESS_KEY with the key from your dashboard; that's the only edit.

</p>How to add it
To add a Vendor Registration Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.
A website/Instagram URL field beats file uploads — you review vendors where their work already lives, and the form stays fast to fill.
The category dropdown is your curation tool: search the dashboard by 'Food & drink' and you know instantly whether you're saturated before saying yes.
Accepted vendors get a payment-enabled form for the booth fee — Stripe or Square, paid before the map is final. Unpaid booths don't hold spots.
What's included
Market organizers juggle vendor applications across email, Facebook, and DMs, then rebuild the booth map from memory a week before the event. A vendor form standardizes the pipeline: business, category, booth needs, and a link to their work arrive in one list you can filter — six food vendors, four jewelers, two open corners that need power. Category balance, the thing that makes a market feel curated instead of random, becomes a dashboard view instead of a guess.

Where submissions go
Reply-to is wired to the visitor's email, so one tap on Reply answers them directly — while the built-in honeypot and spam classifier filter out bots before they reach you. Every submission is emailed to your inbox and can forward to a webhook or Slack the moment a visitor hits send.

Testimonials
40 quotes on record — from indie hacks to agency migrations.
“I replaced a Lambda + DynamoDB + SES contact form with six lines of HTML. It took eleven minutes, and the dashboard is better than what I was going to build.”
“We migrated 14 client sites off Formspree in a single weekend. The price is a third of what we paid, the API is more honest, and the spam filter actually works.”
“The webhook payload is signed, idempotent, and well-shaped. It reads like code from a competent team, not a CRUD app held together with duct tape.”
“I stopped reaching for Typeform on small marketing sites. splitforms covers 90% of the use case at none of the bloat.”
“I onboarded our whole agency in an afternoon. The MCP integration meant Cursor literally dropped the form straight into our client repos for us.”
“The free plan gave me 500 submissions before I paid a cent, and Pro is five dollars a month. I've spent more on coffee deciding which backend to use.”
“Spam went from forty junk entries a day to zero, with no reCAPTCHA puzzle ruining the form. The honeypot and time-trap just quietly do their job.”
“Point the form action at one endpoint and you're done. No SDK, no client library, no build step. This is how a form backend should feel.”
“Leads land in Slack the second someone submits, and a copy goes to Google Sheets for the sales team. I wired both up in under ten minutes.”
“I run a static Hugo site on a five-dollar VPS. splitforms gave it a real contact form without me standing up a single server.”
Questions
Same form, different reply. If you curate, treat submissions as applications and email acceptances. If it's first-come, the auto-responder can confirm the spot immediately.
Keep the application free, then send accepted vendors a payment form for the fee. Charging on application creates refund work for everyone you decline.
The URL field usually suffices — their Instagram is their portfolio. For juried shows, add a file-upload field (Pro) for the three standard jury photos.
Same link, every season. Their previous submissions stay in the dashboard, so you can check history — 'was the honey vendor here in 2025?' — in one search.
