Hi there,
For the events that I’m hosting, I would like to create a registration form for any potential vendors that are interested in participating in my event. Is there a way to create a page that is dedicated to potential vendors within EE?

Hi there,
Event Espresso does not include a registration system for vendors but you could use either another event or event a ticket within the same event and have the user register onto that.
I would recommend using a separate event as you can then set specific questions for the vendors rather than including the within the regular registrations.

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the swift reply. Do you know if this is a feature that Event Espresso would look into creating in the future?

I can add this to our feature request board, however its not clear how this would work. Can you provide further details on what you are looking for?
The user registers as a ‘vendor’ but then what happens?
We do have the EE4 People Add-on which allows you to assign ‘people’ to your event, these can be speakers, vendors or any other ‘type’ that you create. However those people need to be created within the admin, there is no option to create them from the front end.

Hi Tony.
Much like how ticket attendees would first enter the pending, vendors would also be placed into pending. Choose which event you would like to participate as a vendor for and then pay your fees. After the admin has received payment, he/she would then approve them and EE would process it into the event page and show them as a sponsor.

So basically a front end submission for the people add-on mentioned above with the ability to approve a ‘person’?
We have a front end submission request for the people add-on here:

If you’d like to add any comments to that section please feel free to do so. We use the roadmap to help prioritize development on new features.

Perfect! That’s exactly it. Thank you very much for doing that, Tony.
I found a way around my problem, though. My events are free to attend, so I made tickets for vendors instead.
