Market Vendor Pricing & Categories

Stall fees at The Candor Market are as follows:

  • Single-category Vendors - R550

  • Multi-category Vendors - R750

  • Slow Fashion with Thrift Vendors - R1000 (with written approval from TCM)

  • Food/Drinks/CPG Vendors - R550

We gather data from our vendors after each market, and over time we have discovered that vendors who trade over multiple categories of products generate far more profit than those who only sell products that fit into a single category.

In an effort to more evenly distribute funds spent across the market, and maintain fairness and balanced curation, we have priced vendor stalls in relation to profit potential.

For example: if you are primarily a slow fashion vendor who makes hemp clothing, but have now decided to also start making beeswax candles to sell within your stall, you would go from being a single category vendor to being a multi-category vendor.
