Event software for card & collectible shows

Run the operational side of your show from one system.

Replace disconnected forms, spreadsheets, floor-plan images, vendor lists, agreements, and check-in tools with a platform built around how card and collectible shows actually operate.

Desktop for setup. Mobile-focused tools for the moments that happen on the show floor.

Connected operations

Everything your team manages should point back to the same show.

VendorStax organizes operational work around a shared event record so updates to vendors, floor assignments, agreements, tickets, team access, and check-in stay connected instead of becoming separate workflows.

01
Update once

A table move, vendor status change, or completed agreement updates the operational record your team is already using.

02
See what needs attention

Incomplete agreements, unresolved assignments, missing staff access, and remaining check-ins become visible before they become show-day problems.

03
Carry context forward

Returning vendor history and organizer notes remain useful for the next event instead of disappearing when the show ends.

One operational workflow

From event setup to the final check-in.

VendorStax is organized around the lifecycle of a show, so each step feeds the next instead of creating another spreadsheet or manual handoff.

01

Configure

Create the show, table types, floor plan, policies, booking method, staff access, and operational settings.

02

Reserve

Control who can book, collect vendor information, assign space, and keep availability tied to the floor plan.

03

Prepare

Track agreements, badges, participants, instructions, ticket setup, waitlists, and show readiness before doors open.

04

Operate

Use Live Mode for check-in, vendor search, table status, no-shows, attendee operations, and show-day changes.

Structured show setup

Turn repeat setup into a consistent process.

A show should not depend on someone remembering every setting from the last event. VendorStax gives organizers a structured setup path so the important operational pieces are configured before booking opens.

✓
Show configurationDates, venue details, booking method, cutoff rules, policies, table types, and operational settings stay attached to the event.
✓
Booking controlsUse instant booking, application approval, or invite-only access depending on how the organizer wants to manage vendors.
✓
Guided onboardingOrganizer setup follows a clear sequence from profile and payments through floor plan, booking rules, testing, and publishing.
Guided show setup and organizer onboarding
Interactive floor operations

Keep the floor plan and the reservation record synchronized.

The floor plan becomes an operational workspace, not a static image. Availability, assignments, holds, blocked space, vendor locations, and show-day moves all reference the same map.

✓
One source of truthTables can move between available, held, booked, blocked, or released states without maintaining a separate spreadsheet.
✓
Layout and booking viewsManage the physical layout when configuring the show, then switch to a booking-focused view when operations begin.
✓
Organizer overridesHandle show-day moves and exceptions without reopening public booking or losing the audit trail.

Vendor operations

Manage the vendor relationship beyond a single form submission.

VendorStax keeps the organizer's operational history with the vendor so staff can make faster decisions without searching old emails or previous event files.

✓
Returning vendor historySee prior bookings, membership status, preferred or recurring locations, additional participants, agreements, and check-in history.
✓
Waitlists and access statusTrack what a vendor wants, whether they have early access, and whether inventory becomes available that matches their request.
✓
Blocked vendor protectionKeep blocked status separate from ordinary CRM removal so a vendor cannot simply disappear from the organizer's operational history.

Agreements, badges & readiness

Know what is complete before the vendor reaches the door.

Operational requirements should be visible before check-in. Tie participation agreements, vendor badges, additional participants, and reservation status to the same vendor record.

✓
Participation agreementsTrack whether the required organizer agreement has been completed before the vendor is eligible to check in.
✓
Vendor badgesPrepare printable badges using the organizer's show information, vendor name, table assignment, and optional QR workflow.
✓
Operational readinessSurface incomplete tasks so the organizer knows what needs attention before show day.

Team access + multi-tenancy

Support multiple organizers, teams, and shows without mixing the work.

VendorStax is designed as a multi-tenant platform. Each organizer works within its own workspace, with its shows, vendors, team members, settings, and operational records kept separate.

✓
Separate organizer workspacesTeams can operate within the correct organization without blending show data from unrelated organizers.
✓
Role-based team accessOwners, managers, and staff can receive the level of access needed for their responsibilities instead of sharing one master login.
✓
Show-specific assignmentsKeep team access aligned with the shows and operational tasks a person is responsible for.
✓
Activity historyMaintain clearer accountability for important operational changes made by the team.

Live Mode

Give show-day staff the tools they need without the setup clutter.

Desktop is best for configuring a show. Show day is different. Live Mode focuses on the fast operational tasks staff need while vendors and attendees are arriving.

✓
Vendor QR check-inScan the reservation QR, confirm the vendor, and complete check-in without requiring the vendor to have a login.
✓
Fast vendor searchUse business name, vendor name, table, email, or phone as a backup when a QR code is not available.
✓
No-show and table changesHandle exceptions after the public booking window closes while preserving the operational record.
✓
Attendee operationsSupport attendee check-in and walk-up ticket workflows alongside vendor operations.

Built for operations

The software should reduce coordination work, not create more of it.

VendorStax is designed around a few operational principles that matter when multiple people are managing a live event.

Shared source of truth

Reservations, vendor records, floor assignments, agreements, badges, and check-in should point back to the same show record.

Role-appropriate access

Staff should see the tools they need without every person receiving full organizer control.

State-driven workflows

Availability, holds, sold space, agreements, check-in, cancellations, and no-shows should have clear operational states.

Desktop for setup

Complex configuration belongs where organizers can see the full picture and work comfortably.

Mobile for the floor

Show-day interfaces should be focused, fast, and built around scanning, lookup, and exception handling.

History that carries forward

Returning vendors, past activity, notes, access status, and operational context should not disappear after one event ends.
