From application to paid stall, in one press
Hazel & Oak apply through your form — and applications are never capped, whatever plan you are on. One press of Accept and the stall is provisioned, with a secure payment link already on its way.
How applications workA checkout buyers actually finish
Hazel settles the £120 invoice in a couple of taps, straight into your own account. Popup Pal’s line on it reads £0.00: we take 0% of stall money and add no per-stall fee. Stripe’s processing is billed to you separately, at cost.
How payment links workA floor plan that lives where your stalls do
Her stall already exists, so you drag it across the hall. It snaps to the grid, clicks into pitch B12, and the plan your setup crew prints is the plan that is live.
How the floor plan worksShow day runs from any phone
Hazel checks in on the same QR flow as your buyers. Every code verifies once, the count climbs as the queue moves, and a second scan is caught on the spot.
Day-of scanning guide
Live in an afternoon.
Event created, applications open, tickets selling and the gate scanned — one afternoon of setup.
What the subscription buys
Your stall money is your stall money
Plenty of platforms take a percentage of what your traders pay you. We do not: Popup Pal takes 0% of stall money and adds no per-stall fee. Stripe’s processing is charged to you separately, at cost, on your own account — and the subscription buys the rest of it, from application form to pitch number.

Every core feature on every plan
The complete platform, on the smallest plan
Waitlists, checkout recovery, add-ons, referrals, reminders and feedback are part of the same product on every paid plan. Only two things are genuinely tiered: event series need Pro or above, and Pay by Bank is a Max entitlement.
Pricing in one paragraph
Pay for the size of your year
Starter is £9.99 a month or £99 a year: 1 active event at a time, with up to 20 confirmed stalls in it. Max lifts every limit. All prices exclude VAT.
We never upgrade you for you
We never upgrade you automatically. Reach a limit and we tell you what it is — moving up is your decision, not ours.
Applications are never capped
Applications are never capped. Take as many as you like on any plan; only confirmed stall places count. Hearing from more traders than you can take is the point of a form.
Tickets stay pay-as-you-sell
Selling tickets is optional and priced separately: 4.5% + 69p per paid ticket, all-in with card processing included, on every plan. Free tickets are free.
Popup Pal takes 0% of your stall money and adds no per-stall fee. Stripe’s processing is charged separately, at cost, on your own account.
No revenue share, no per-stall fee, no marketplace cut — whatever your traders pay you.
Made for the shape of your event
Built for shows like yours
Markets, exhibitions and festivals all have visitors at the gate and businesses behind the tables. Popup Pal understands both sides.
Straight answers
Questions organisers ask first
Do buyers need an account?
No. Buyers check out as guests and receive a secure link to their order, where they can view tickets, download passes, request refunds and forward tickets to friends. There are no passwords and no app to install.
How do payouts work?
Ticket payments are processed through your connected Stripe account and pay out on your Stripe schedule. Stall payments go the same way — to you, on your own account, with each payment tracked automatically against its invoice. Popup Pal does not pool your event funds, and cash or offline bank transfers can still be recorded so the dashboard always shows who is paid up.
What does it cost?
Plans start at £9.99 a month, excluding VAT, and are priced by capacity: how many events you have running at once, how many confirmed stalls in each and how many people on your team. Every paid plan carries the complete toolkit; only event series (Pro and above) and Pay by Bank (Max) are genuinely tiered. Ticketing is separate and pay-as-you-sell.
What does Popup Pal take from my stall money?
Popup Pal takes 0% of your stall money and adds no per-stall fee. Stripe’s processing is charged separately, at cost, on your own account. What you pay us is the subscription, and nothing else. Applications are never capped. Take as many as you like on any plan; only confirmed stall places count.
What happens if I reach a plan limit?
We never upgrade you automatically. Reach a limit and we tell you what it is — moving up is your decision, not ours. Nothing already published stops working while you think about it, and everything you have already run stays readable.
Can I move from Eventbrite or Ticket Tailor?
Yes. There is no lock-in on either side: create your Popup Pal event alongside your existing listing, point your links at it, and switch when you are ready. Because buyers do not need accounts there is nothing for your audience to sign up for, and you start building your own audience list from your first event — checkout opt-ins and stall QR sign-ups, with consent recorded properly.
What happens if I need to cancel an event?
You can cancel from the dashboard at any time. Ticket holders are notified automatically and refunds are processed back to the original payment method through your Stripe account, per your refund policy and our organiser agreement.
