Moving into Booth

"Welcome to the Westside Market Family!

We're excited to have you on board. Now that you have signed the contract and paid your initial subscription fees, you're ready to begin your new venture with us. The credit card used for your initial payment will be securely kept on file for future monthly charges.

You can now input your inventory through the member portal, iOS app, or Android app.

To ensure prompt receipt of your monthly earnings, please add your banking information in the member portal.

Once your inventory is entered into the system, you can start selling! After you receive confirmation that your space is ready, you can schedule your move-in date with the store manager. Your price tags will be printed directly from your inventory at the tagging station in the store. 

We encourage you to participate in our Third Saturdays Event each month, where we spotlight and promote our new and established members. Invite your friends and meet your neighbors! 

 What is Third Saturday ?

Second Saturday at Westside Market will be our monthly open house where we welcome our new members and celebrate their new partnership.  We will have a ribbon cutting ceremony for each new member at their space, invite them to share their story and product knowledge with our team,  and introduce them to other members in their Westside Market community. They will receive their T shirt, and we will take pictures during the ribbon cutting and record a new member interview  for online marketing. They will be encouraged to ‘ring the big brass bell’ to start their business!
