Find real vendor calls in Canada, verify organizers before paying booth fees, and avoid impersonation scams on social media.
Search where applications actually live
Legitimate markets publish vendor calls on official websites, verified Popup Hub listings, or organizer pages with consistent branding — not random DMs from personal accounts.
Start with city-specific searches like “Edmonton artisan market vendor application” or browse published markets on Popup Hub to see which events are accepting vendors right now.
Verify before you pay booth fees
Scam reports are rising across Alberta and BC craft communities. Before sending money, search the organizer in HubGuard, confirm official website and social links, and match the payment instructions to the organizer’s verified profile.
- Official emails should match the market brand — not generic Gmail accounts for payment requests.
- Never pay booth fees through social media DMs unless you have verified the organizer through an official channel.
- Read community mentions and scam alerts on the organizer’s HubGuard trust report.
Apply once with a vendor passport
Popup Hub lets you build a reusable vendor passport — business details, categories, photos, and documents — so juried markets get consistent information without you retyping the same PDF every weekend.
