How the Ecosystem Connects
One platform, three roles, working together. Every event powers the next.
Publish your event
Set up ticketing, stall layout, and recurring dates in minutes. Stripe-powered payouts go straight to your account.
Reserve a stall
Browse live stall availability, book recurring pitches, and get digital stall tickets for entry.
Discover & attend
Find local markets on the map, follow favourite organizers, and walk in with a digital ticket on event day.
Buyers attending events make organizers more visible — drawing more sellers, which fills more stalls, which brings more buyers. That's the flywheel that makes local markets thrive.

Common questions
What organisers ask before signing up.
Is the first event really free?
Yes. No card required, no time limit. You only pick a plan when you publish your second event.
Do you charge buyers a booking fee?
No. The ticket price you set is the price your buyer pays. We don't add anything at checkout.
What if the venue has no signal?
The gate scanner works offline — tickets are pre-cached and validated cryptographically on-device. Scans sync when signal returns.
