Sell on MultiVendor
Run creative competitions from your own shop
List your writing contest, art challenge or live creative showdown as an event with its date, time zone and a venue or online link for registered entrants only. Use capacity to cap the number of entries your judges can read or view properly, and let the automatic waitlist take overflow. Reminder emails keep the submission deadline front of mind. Entrants pay you directly through your own Stripe or PayPal account; MultiVendor never holds your money.
