Your market, beautifully organized.
Trestle replaces the form builder, the spreadsheet, and the email tool with one calm system — from first application to final booth fee.
Built with real organizers — vendors apply free, no accounts required.
Sample vendor checklist — placeholder data, not a real market.
Trusted by markets like
- Desert Bloom Market
- Old Pueblo Makers Market
- Saguaro Flats Artisan Market
Placeholder market names — real pilot markets are named here once they approve it.
Running a market shouldn't take four tools and a prayer.
Most organizers stitch together forms, spreadsheets, email blasts, and payment links — then spend the season keeping them in sync by hand.
-
The form builder
Applications land in one inbox, jury feedback in another, and nothing knows a vendor was approved.
-
The spreadsheet
The tracking sheet is always one edit behind reality — and only one person really understands it.
-
The email tool
Reminders go out by hand, to lists built by hand, with fingers crossed that nobody was missed.
Three steps to a calmer season.
Everything an organizer juggles, in the order the season actually happens.
-
Step one
Collect applications
A public application page for your market, open on any phone. Vendors apply free in minutes — no account, no password.
-
Step two
Jury and approve
Read applications side by side, score them with your jury, and decide privately. Nothing reaches a vendor until you send it.
-
Step three
Onboard and get paid
Approved vendors get one link and a guided checklist — documents, waivers, booth fee — with reminders you review before they send.
Every application, side by side.
Stop forwarding PDFs around a group thread. Your jury reads each maker's work, story, and history in one view, and the scores land in the same place the decision gets made.
- Your own application form, per market and per season
- Jury scores and notes for the whole season in one table
- Approve, waitlist, or decline — then send the decisions when you are ready
| Vendor | Category | Jury Score | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sonoran Ceramics | Pottery | 4.8 | Approved |
| Desert Bloom Candle Co. | Candles | 4.5 | Approved |
| Cactus Wren Weaving | Fiber Arts | 4.2 | Waitlist |
| Copper & Sage Jewelry | Jewelry | 3.9 | In Review |
No passwords. Just a link.
Vendors are busy makers, not software users. Every vendor gets one long-lived link — their application, checklist, and booth fee live behind it, and you can revoke it. Nothing to install, no password to forget.
- Applying is always free
- One link for documents, waivers, and payment
- Works on the phone in the studio or the booth
Desert Bloom Market — via Trestle
You're in! Next steps for Fall Market
Hi Maria — great news, your application for Fall Market 2026 was approved. Your booth checklist is ready: two documents and your booth fee, all in one place.
Booth fees, without the chase.
Trestle collects booth fees through Stripe and keeps the ledger for you. Reminders for whoever has not paid are drafted for you and sent once you approve them — so market week is not collections week.
- Card payments through Stripe, receipts included
- Polite reminders you review before they go out
- One glance shows exactly who's paid
Example booth-fee ledger with invented sample vendors and amounts

Sample vendors, scores, and amounts in the examples above are invented placeholder data.
"I used to spend Sunday nights reconciling three systems. Now I open one tab, and the market is just... handled."
