# Manage vendor applications and table assignments on Treasure
> Review vendor applications, approve or deny them with notes, assign vendors to specific tables on your venue map, and track which tables are paid.
Treasure gives you a full vendor relationship management workflow built into your event dashboard. Vendors apply through your event page, and you review, approve or deny, assign tables, and track payments — all from the **Vendors** tab of your event.
Vendors pay for their approved table through Treasure's checkout. Payment is collected securely via Stripe and flows directly to your payout account. You do not need to handle vendor payments manually.
## Application lifecycle
A vendor application moves through the following statuses:
| Status | What it means |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Pending** | Application submitted, awaiting your review. |
| **Approved** | You accepted the application. The vendor can now pay for their table. |
| **Denied** | You declined the application for this event. |
| **Paid** | The vendor has completed checkout and their table is confirmed. |
| **Waitlisted** | The vendor is in a queue if a spot opens up. |
## Review and respond to applications
From your event dashboard, click the **Vendors** tab. You'll see an overview with charts showing total applications, approval rate, and table booking status at a glance.
The applications list shows each vendor's name, business details, applied table type, and current status. Click a vendor row to open the full application view.
The detail panel shows the vendor's answers to your application questions, their business links, and any tags you or they have applied.
Review the vendor's application and click **Approve** or **Deny**.
* When you approve, the vendor receives a notification and can proceed to checkout.
* When you deny, you can include a note explaining the decision. The vendor is notified.
You can change a decision after the fact if circumstances change.
After approving a vendor, assign them a specific table location on your venue map. Open the vendor's application panel and click **Assign Table**, or open the map editor and drag the vendor's name onto a table.
Assigning a table is optional but recommended — it lets vendors and attendees see exactly where each seller is located on the interactive map.
See [Venue maps](/hosts/venue-maps) for how to build and publish your map layout.
Once a vendor is approved, monitor whether they have completed checkout. The vendors list shows a payment status badge for each approved vendor: **Unpaid**, **Paid**, or **Refunded**.
You can filter the list by status to quickly see which vendors still need to complete payment before the event.
## Custom application questions
You can add custom questions to your vendor application in the event editor — for example: "What products do you sell?", "Do you need electricity?", or "Do you require a specific table size?". Answers appear in each vendor's application detail panel when you review their submission.
## Communicating with vendors
To send a message to all approved vendors, or to a filtered subset, use the **Blast** feature from your event dashboard. You can send email or SMS messages to selected groups.
See [Email & SMS blasts](/features/email-sms-blasts) for details on sending targeted vendor communications.
