General Questions

What is ClueMart? ClueMart is a smart mobile application designed to connect and support New Zealand's vibrant market community. It brings together local markets, stallholders, organisers, and visitors in one platform. With ClueMart, you can easily discover upcoming markets near you, explore full vendor profiles, and browse unique, locally made products. The app also allows market organisers to manage stalls and communicate with vendors, and it provides stallholders with promotional tools and application features to grow their presence.

The app is free to use for visitors. The Standard package is currently available free of charge for stallholders until further notice.

New stallholders receive two months of free access to the Pro package after registration. After this introductory period, they may choose to subscribe to the Pro package or continue using the Standard package if they do not wish to subscribe.

Market and event organisers can currently use the platform free of charge with full organiser access.

The app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Visitors

The app automatically shows you the closest markets both on a map and in a list. You can filter by date, location, or even by special events.

Each market page displays all participating stallholders and their products. Registered stallholders appear with full profiles. Those who are not registered will only be listed by name and product category, provided their information was submitted by the organiser.

This feature will be available in a future version – stay tuned for ClueMart updates!
