A trader answers your form, with a photo of their stall and their insurance certificate. You get an email with a link to each application.
You mark the application Reviewed. Then you add the trader as a contact, tagged by what they sell.
The invoice bills the trader's contact, due on the payment terms you set. It will be emailed with a Pay online button.
A card payment will be recorded on the invoice automatically. You record cash taken on the morning. Both will be added to the books.
The trader joins the traders' channel from your link. You post the arrival times and a picture of the site plan in the channel.
The trader's page lists each invoice, paid or still owed, and your next follow-up.
Forms builds the stall application, with questions such as what they sell and the pitch size. A File question takes a photo of the stall or an insurance certificate. A question can appear only when a trader says they need power.
Every application comes into one list, with an email to you for each. You mark them Reviewed or Archived, and close the form when the market is full. A form can also charge a fixed fee as it is sent.
Contacts keeps each trader's business, email and phone. Tags such as Bakery, Regular or Waiting list filter the list. A pinned note keeps their pitch number and the power they need.
A follow-up reminds you of the next step, such as insurance that runs out next month. Each trader's page lists their invoices and what they still owe.
Invoicing bills a trader for their market dates and extras, such as power or a gazebo. The trader gets it by email, with its PDF and a Pay online button. Reminders can go out until the pitch fee is paid.
A regular's monthly fee can be a recurring invoice, issued and emailed every month. You can pause it over the winter. Cash paid on the morning is recorded on the invoice by hand.

A steward who finds a problem reports an incident. A high one will be emailed to you. Notes for the next market day go in the logbook. Pack-down opens when the market closes.
The gazebo on pitch 14 is a high incident. A standing note about the east gate shows every market day until it is stopped.
