How booth payments work

Showfest does not process booth fees. Once a promoter accepts your application, they reach out directly with payment instructions — Venmo, Zelle, check, Square link, whatever they prefer.

Why we stay out of the money

• Promoters already have systems they trust. Forcing them onto a new processor would slow acceptance and add fees neither side wants.
• Refund disputes for cancelled shows are between you and the promoter — exactly the way they’d be in person.
• Your $4.99 Membership covers Showfest. Your booth fee covers the show. Two separate things.

What the flow looks like

1. You apply to a booth from the event page.
2. Promoter reviews and accepts or declines.
3. If accepted, you get a Showfest message + an email with payment instructions from the promoter.
4. You pay the promoter directly by their preferred method.
5. Promoter marks your application paid on their dashboard — your spot is now confirmed.

If a show gets cancelled

Refunds are the promoter’s call. Most refund in full or roll your fee to the next event. If you can’t reach them, contact us at admin@oneoverland.com and we’ll help mediate — but we can’t force a refund.
