Practical answers for organizers preparing seller registration and intake.
It is the registration a consignor completes before a sale. It records contact information, planned categories and quantities, drop-off preferences, volunteer choices, unsold-item instructions, and acknowledgment of the organizer's rules.
Collect name, email, phone, preferred contact method, and new or returning status. Also ask for an assigned seller number or different payout name when relevant.
An estimated count by category is usually enough for registration. Request item-level details only for pieces needing review, such as furniture or designer apparel. Full tagging can remain a separate step.
Yes. Use conditional sections so a furniture seller sees dimensions, condition, photo, and transport questions, while a clothing seller sees size range, season, brand, and garment-count questions. This keeps the main signup shorter and collects detail only where it affects planning.
List the intake windows you actually offer and ask sellers for a preferred and alternate slot. Include a route for oversized loads or accessibility notes. After registration, sort or export responses by time window so staff can anticipate the number and type of arrivals.
Yes. Add file upload fields for pieces that need advance review. Explain which categories need photos and what the image should show, such as the full item, condition details, label, or dimensions. Keep uploads conditional so routine sellers are not asked for unnecessary previews.
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free forms and responses, so you can generate, edit, publish, and collect seller registrations without a response cap. The paid tier removes the Makeform badge.
Responses arrive in the Makeform inbox. You can also route seller details to tools your team uses, including Google Sheets, Slack, and connected apps through Zapier. Use consistent category and appointment fields so the exported roster stays easy to sort.
Plan the sale before the first drop-off.
