Well, market check-in is Pedddle’s USP!
What is a market check-in?
A market check-in is one of the simplest — and most powerful — ways for a stallholder to be discovered by customers.
Pedddle is a directory built to connect shoppers, markets and stallholders. Each market has its own market page, and each stallholder has their own stall page. When a stallholder checks in to a market on Pedddle, their business is showcased directly on that market’s page — putting them in front of thousands of engaged visitors who are already interested in shopping small.
In return, that market also appears on the stallholder’s page, creating shared visibility that benefits everyone involved. More visibility, more discovery, and more chances for customers to find businesses just like yours.
And the best parts are? Checking in takes just a few seconds.
Pedddle market pages are seen!! Some receive over 7,000 page views a year from customers actively searching for markets and the businesses trading at them. Trading at 10-20 different markets a year, you check in on Pedddle – your impressions have just sky rocketed!

Market check-in benefits
Stallholders are seeing business impressions into the thousands by checking in to market pages. This raises their thumbnail clicks and additionally increasing clicks to their own website.
Remember: a customer needs to have in excess of 7–20 touchpoints before a purchase. For small businesses and makers, it often sits towards the higher end because:
~ Customers don’t already know the brand
~ Purchases are more personal and values-led
~ Trust is built through repeated exposure
What counts as a “touchpoint”?
~ Seeing you listed on Pedddle
~ Finding you via a market page
~ Spotting your stall at multiple markets
~ Seeing you on social media
~ Hearing your name from another maker or organiser
~ Visiting your website or profile
Each one increases familiarity, trust, and likelihood of purchase.
When your business appears on multiple pages across Pedddle, your digital footprint grows — and that matters. The more places your stall is listed, the more signals search engines see, increasing your chances of showing up higher when customers search for businesses like yours. That’s why it’s always worth checking in to every market you trade at.
For stallholders, checking in extends your visibility far beyond market day. Your business can remain discoverable on a market page for up to six months after the event, giving customers a simple way to find you again, reconnect, and shop with you online.
For market organisers, check-ins work both ways. When a stallholder checks in to your event, your market appears on their stall page too. This creates valuable two-way links that strengthen SEO, widen reach, and bring more eyes to both the market and the traders involved.
Cross-promotion sits at the heart of Pedddle. When markets and stallholders support each other in this way, visibility increases, discovery improves, and the entire market community grows stronger — together.
PLEASE NOTE – You should only check-in to a market if you are trading there, as agreed by the event organisers. The market check-in function on Pedddle does not replace a booking system, but is a way for stallholders to show potential customers where they will physically be selling at.
