About ShowFloor
ShowFloor is a card show platform that helps collectors find trading card shows near them, vendors get tables and grow a following, and showrunners run their shows from the first vendor application to the day the doors open. Collectors use it to plan which shows to visit and which tables to stop at, vendors use it to apply for tables and share one link everywhere, and showrunners use it to run vendor applications, floor plans and check-in.
Take the tour of ShowFloorFor collectors
ShowFloor lists upcoming trading card shows by date and location, and its "Shows near you" page sorts them by distance from your ZIP code, day by day. Each listing has the dates, hours, venue, card types, admission price and the vendors who'll be there.
Shows near youFilter ShowFloor's show directory by "This weekend" to see every card show happening from Friday to Sunday. You can narrow it further by state or search for a show by name.
Card shows this weekendUse Treasure Hunt on ShowFloor: before the show, list the cards you're looking for, and vendors at that show see your list. When a vendor has one of your cards, you're matched with their table and can message them before you arrive.
Every show page on ShowFloor lists its approved vendors, what each one is bringing and their verified social accounts. If the host has published a floor plan, you can tap any table on the venue map to see who's at it.
Search vendors and cardsFor vendors
Create a vendor account on ShowFloor, fill in your profile and apply for a table at any show that's taking applications. The show's hosts review your application, and once you're approved your table appears on the show's floor plan.
Create a vendor accountEach show sets its own table prices, usually by table size, and ShowFloor lists them on the show's page. Table prices are shown to signed-in vendors, so create a vendor account to see them.
ShowFloor's Card Back is a link-in-bio page built for card vendors, at /@yourinstagram on ShowFloor. It shows your photo, bio, verified social accounts and every show you'll be at, and you can print a QR card for your table so buyers can follow you.
See Card BackA Card Back is a public page on ShowFloor for card vendors and showrunners: like the back of a trading card, it shows who you are, your verified socials and your upcoming shows. Its address is always your verified Instagram handle, so nobody else can claim your name.
For showrunners
ShowFloor is software built specifically for running trading card shows. It handles vendor applications, table assignments on a floor plan, vendor check-in, co-hosts and announcements from one dashboard.
Tools for showrunnersOn ShowFloor, you share one application link, review each vendor's showcase and notes, and approve them with the number of tables you're granting. Table sizes and limits stop you from overselling the floor.
On ShowFloor, your staff check in each vendor as they arrive by picking them from the show's list of approved vendors. The front gate screen keeps a running count of verified vendors and shows each one's table, so you know the floor is ready before the doors open.
Submit it on ShowFloor's "Request a show" page, and it appears in the directory once the site team approves it. To run the whole show on ShowFloor, with vendor applications, floor plans and vendor check-in, ask the site team for a host invite.
