How do I book a vendor on Celavivo?
This is largely a duplicate of the booking flow article we already rewrote earlier — same issues, same fixes needed. The header description, Step 5, and the “Important to know” section all assume the commission flow only.
How to Book a Vendor on Celavivo
Booking a vendor on Celavivo starts with a booking request. What happens after the vendor approves depends on their plan.
Steps 1–4 are the same for all vendors
1. Search for vendors
- Choose your event type, date, and location
- Browse vendor profiles, services, and availability
2. Contact the vendor (optional)
- Use Celavivo’s messaging system to ask questions or clarify details before booking
3. Send a booking request
- Select your event date and details
- Submit a booking request
- 👉 No payment is made at this stage
4. Vendor reviews your request
- The vendor approves or declines based on availability and scope
- You will be notified by email either way
Steps 5 onwards depend on the vendor’s plan
