ExpoFP allows you to use online booth reservation and collect information from your potential vendors through our Exhibitor Portal. However, you can also use your own registration form and push the exhibitor data to us.
Here are the steps to do it.
Creating a floor plan
First, create a floor plan for your event or let us do the work. Then, create booth types and set booth prices, plus sponsorships and extras, if necessary.
Once you are ready to open reservations, embed the floor plan into your website or event app using our integration options.
Next, enable the Reserve button on your Dashboard and set the link to where your exhibitors will be forwarded after this button is clicked (Settings - Reservation). You can enter your registration system's URL in this field. The link will transfer the booth type, size and price chosen on the floor plan.
This way, your exhibitors will be able to select the booth on the floor plan and proceed with the reservation on your side.
Pushing your exhibitor data
You can use our API to send us the data about your exhibitors, purchased booths and extras. A full list of options can be found here. In the same way, you can update exhibitor profiles, categories, booths, etc.
You can use the following calls (among others):
Add Exhibitor: pull exhibitors from your system and add them to ExpoFP
Add Exhibitor Booth: assign them to a specific booth on the floor plan
Add Exhibitor Extra: if your event offers additional items for purchase, such as sponsorship options, electricity, furniture, etc.
