Payment and Sales:

​

• How do I get paid as a vendor? 

  • Vendors get paid with physical checks on the 1st and 15th of each month.​

​

• What if I can't pick up my vendor check? 

  • We will hold your check for you if you are unable to come by and pick it up. Alternatively, if you provide self-addressed, stamped envelopes we will be happy to mail your checks to you as well. 

​

 ​

• Why is there a fee when a customer uses a credit/debit card? 

  • The store is charged a 4% card processing fee for each purchase made with a credit card. This 4% is deducted from the vendor payout. If the customer uses a check or cash to pay at checkout, there is no deduction from the vendor payout.

​

• How can I monitor what I sell? 

  • At the end of each day, sales are uploaded to an online site where vendors can log in and see what was sold and for how much. When a vendor rents a booth, they will receive the information needed to log in and monitor their sales. The login page for vendors can be found in the header at "Vendor Sales", or here. ​

​

• Can I opt out of events and forego paying the additional deductions? 

  • Though it is highly encouraged, vendors are not required to participate in sales or events. Vendors may not opt out of paying the additional monthly deductions of $7.50 regardless of whether or not they decide to participate in sales and events.​

​

• Can I pre-pay rent for my booth? 

  • Yes, vendors can pay rent in advance for their booth, but the monthly deductions of $7.50 are still factored in regardless of advance payment.​Surplus or advanced payments will be considered as credit for future months' rent. 

​

• Is there a discount to pre-paying rent? 

  • No, there is no discount if a vendor decides to pay rent in advance. ​

​

• What happens if I miss a rent payment? 

  • Rent is due at the first of each month and there is a 5 day grace period for rent payments. Payments received after the 5 day grace period are subject to a 10% late fee. Refusal to pay rent may lead to vendor eviction. ​
