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.
This template is one of our free HTML form templates. See more form templates by industry.
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.

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 automatic spam scoring 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.

How SplitForms works
splitforms receives the submission, filters spam, saves it to your dashboard and emails you — then, on paid plans, sends it on to your webhooks and integrations. No backend infrastructure to build.

Point your form to your unique SplitForms endpoint. That's it.

We instantly capture and organize every submission in your inbox.

Send data to email, spreadsheets, CRMs, webhooks, and 7,000+ apps.

No credit card required. Set up in under 60 seconds.
Connect & automate
On paid plans, submissions can also go to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier or any signed webhook — and splitforms works on the platforms you build on, from WordPress and Shopify to Next.js. With Stripe connected, your forms can take payments too.

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.
