Create a bazaar
Create a bazaar: the wizard guides you through key data, dates, fees, limits and publication.
You create a bazaar in a guided wizard. Open your organization and tap Create bazaar in the Bazaars list.
How the wizard works
- At the top you see your progress: “Step X of Y”.
- Your entries are saved automatically as a draft – the status at the top switches between Draft, Saving … and Saved.
- Optional steps can be skipped with Skip and completed later.
- You can leave the wizard at any time and continue editing the draft later.
Step 1: Key data (required)
The foundation of the bazaar – without these details it cannot be published.
- Kind of bazaar – e.g. kids’ & baby bazaar, teen bazaar, ladies’ bazaar or sports & ski bazaar.
- Title & description – the title (e.g. “Spring bazaar Ottensen”) and a description. Both appear on the public bazaar page.
- Date – the event date and start time.
- Venue – street & house number, postcode, town and optionally an addition (e.g. “gym · side entrance”). The app determines the position and shows a map preview.
- Capacity – maximum sellers and maximum articles per seller (with − / +).
- Options – enable waiting list (when the bazaar is full) and allow helper registration (participants can sign up as helpers and receive benefits).
Step 2: Dates (required)
Set up the bazaar’s time slots. Tap Add date and choose the type of slot:
| Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Registration | The period in which sellers can register. |
| Fast lane | Early registration with a premium ticket. |
| Goods receipt | When the goods are handed in. |
| Sale | The bazaar day itself. |
| Special time / Other | Further time slots. |
Every slot has a start and an end (the end has to be after the start) plus an optional note.
Step 3: Fees (optional)
Define which fees the bazaar charges. Without fees, taking part is free of charge. Tap Add fee and choose the type:
| Fee | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Participation fee | A fixed amount for taking part. |
| Commission | A share of the revenue. |
| Per article | An amount per article. |
| Tiered fee | An amount per started tier size of articles (e.g. €5 per 25 articles → 26–50 articles cost €10). |
Under Applies to you choose the roles (sellers, helpers, core team, extended team). No selection = applies to all roles.
Under Payout rule you decide whether to allow negative payouts. Off: the payout never goes below zero – fees are withheld at most up to the revenue. On: fees are due regardless of sales, even without revenue.
Step 4: Discounts (optional)
Grant discounts on a fee.
For each discount you choose the fee, the type (percentage, amount or waived) and the target: a role or an individual person (by email). That way you can reward helpers or make exceptions for individuals.
Step 5: Quantity limits (optional)
Limit the number of articles per category group and grant bonus articles. All limits apply per seller.
- Category limits – pick one or more categories and set a maximum number of articles (e.g. “Clothes + Shoes: max. 30”). A category can only be part of one limit; categories without a limit are only capped by the maximum articles from step 1.
- Bonus articles – grant a role or person additional articles, either on the overall limit or on one category group (e.g. 10 extra articles for helpers).
Step 6: Prohibited articles (optional)
Block whatever may not be sold at this bazaar. Tap Add block and choose:
- Category – block an existing category.
- Free text – describe a type of article freely (e.g. “weapons and toy weapons”).
Sellers see these blocks on the bazaar page and cannot list such articles.
Step 7: Fast lane (add-on)
Offer a limited number of premium seats that sellers can secure for an extra charge before regular registration opens. Tap Offer fast lane and set the number of seats and the price per seat. The early-registration window itself is a slot of type Fast lane in step 2.
Step 8: Info page (optional)
Add your own information sections for the public bazaar page – e.g. parking, liability or labelling rules. Every section has a title and content, can be shown/hidden and moved up/down.
Step 9: Review & publish
Finally you review all the details. The app shows you what is still missing – “To do before publishing”:
- The bazaar title is missing
- The event date is missing
- At least one registration slot is missing
- At least one sale slot is missing
Once everything is complete, tap Publish bazaar. You will then see “Bazaar published” – your bazaar is publicly visible and sellers can register.
And then?
From here on everything runs through the Manage bazaar cockpit: deciding registrations, setting up tills, receiving goods, settling up. See Managing a bazaar.
