Setting Up Your Shopper Account
Before You Start
Once you've signed up as a Shopper, there's really only one thing worth doing to get the most out of CraftFairList: filling in your profile. Everything else — saving events, following vendors — happens naturally as you browse.
Fill In Your Profile
Go to My Profile in your account menu. Here you can add:
- Phone number
- Address
- Website and social links (if you have any you'd like to share)
None of this is required. The one field worth filling in, though, is your address — it's what powers "near me" style searches, so CraftFairList can show you craft fairs close to home without you having to search by city every time.
Turn On Two-Factor Authentication (Recommended)
Under Account Security, you can turn on two-factor authentication. This adds a second step when you log in, so your account stays protected even if your password is ever compromised. It only takes a minute to set up, and we'd recommend it for any account.
What You Can Do From Here
With your account set up, you're ready to:
- Search for craft fairs near you, or in any city or state
- Save events you're interested in attending
- Follow your favorite vendors to hear when they'll be at a new show
- Leave a review after attending an event
That's it — there's no further setup required. Jump into the search page whenever you're ready to find your first show.
