What Does the Red-Flagged Label on a Vendor Details Page or Vendor Application Mean?

Spotted a Red-Flagged label on a vendor's application or details page on BoothCentral? This isn't a decoration – it's a crucial warning for event organizers like yourself.


Red Flagged Vendor


Here's a quick breakdown:


Red Flag Alert: Warning Signs and Protection


  • Vendor with Unresolved Dispute: This vendor previously disputed a BoothCentral application fee but never resolved the issue or made the payment. This could potentially lead to lost revenue for you.
  • Automatic Blocking: BoothCentral has your back! Due to the unresolved dispute, the system automatically prevents you from approving this vendor for your event. This helps safeguard you from financial loss.
  • Limited Access (Rare Cases): In serious situations, red-flagged vendors might be barred from accessing BoothCentral entirely.


Important Distinction: Not All Disputes Are Red Flags


BoothCentral understands that mistakes happen. There might be vendors who disputed a charge in the past but later resolved it by making the payment. These vendors are not red-flagged because they fulfilled their financial obligations. Tracking past disputes helps us identify potential recurring issues and ensures a smoother experience for both event organizers and responsible vendors.

What to Do When You See a Red Flag


  • System Blocks Approval: Due to the unresolved dispute, BoothCentral's system automatically prevents you from approving this vendor for your event. This eliminates the risk of accidentally approving a vendor with a history of non-payment, ensuring your financial security.
