The Problem
Fake promoters collect booth fees from makers and disappear before the show date.
Vendors apply to events with zero visibility into the promoter’s track record or legitimacy.
Boutique shops risk buying from unregistered or fraudulent wholesale suppliers at markets.
Without a verification layer, the same scammers repeat the same schemes season after season.
We built a lightweight, affordable verification platform that lets anyone in the maker market ecosystem prove who they are — and spot who they should avoid.
Who It’s For
Whether you sell at markets, organize them, or run a shop — Showfest.io has a verification tier for you.
Craft vendors · Artisans · Makers
You spend real money on booth fees, supplies, and travel. A verified badge helps promoters and shoppers choose you with confidence — and helps you vet the shows you apply to.
Market organizers · Event producers
You invest months building a show only to have your reputation questioned by vendors burned elsewhere. Verification signals you’re the real deal — and helps you attract better vendors.
Indie shops · Consignment · Galleries
You source from markets, fairs, and indie vendors. A verification layer gives you a way to confirm suppliers are who they say they are before you place an order.
Platform Features
We confirm your Employer Identification Number against official records to verify your business is legitimately registered.
Active phone and email validation confirms that your contact details are real and reachable — not throwaway accounts.
For full verification, we run identity checks through trusted third-party providers so your badge carries real weight.
Display your Showfest.io verified badge on your website, social media, and market applications. One badge, instant trust.
Get listed in our growing directory of verified vendors, promoters, and shops — so customers and partners can find you.
Soon, shoppers will be able to find verified markets and vendors near them — bringing you organic discovery from buyers.
