To publish your event, email zapphelp@westaf.org or submit a ticket to let us know you are ready to list your event publicly on ZAPP. We will review your event to ensure artists are able to apply without issue and then send you a link you can use to publicize your application.

Please note: Your event is not published automatically and will not be listed until it has been reviewed by the ZAPP team.

Navigate to Events > Coupons and enter in the internal title (Coupon Name), the discount amount (in $ or %), the maximum uses for the code, the code itself, the period of time the coupon will be active, and the items it applies to. The coupon will also need to be set to “Active” for artists to use it.

If your application deadline has not passed:
Move the artist to the Incomplete status. To do so, select “Incomplete” within the Status drop-down menu for the artist in question, scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Update All.” The artist will then be able to make changes to their application and resubmit it before your deadline.

If your application deadline has passed:
Move the artist to the Exception status. Once the artist has made necessary changes, they will need to notify you to move their application back to Received.

Yes. You will need to extend the deadline. This can be done within your Event Editor on the Event Information tab. Simply adjust the date, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click the “Save” button.

Extending your deadline opens the application for all artists. If you are extending your deadline for only a few artists, we recommend doing so for a small window of time and notifying the artists to apply during that window.

Navigate to Events > Communication and click the boxes next to each status you would like to email. Click “Select” to compose your email, preview, and send. If you would like to include (or exclude) only flagged or tagged artists, select the applicable option from the dropdown menu and then check the boxes next to the tagged or flagged artists you wish to include or exclude.

You can view emails you sent on artist citation pages. Navigate to the Event > Management page, click on the status of artists you wish to view and select the application ID number of any artist. Sent emails will display within the Communication section on the page. Click on the title of the email to view the full message.

First, ensure your jurors are attempting to log in at the correct location: http://admin.zapplication.org. If they are on the correct site, check the following settings:

1. Your Current Jury Status is set to In Progress.
2. Each juror account is assigned to the event’s jury. You can check this by clicking on the juror account on your jury administration page and ensuring the check box next to your event has been selected.

Jurors may be prompted to reset their password if their account is over 12 months old.

The Hide Current Artist Status prevents artists from seeing their true status and from purchasing any products (including application fees) that your event sells on ZAPP. The setting was designed for you to hide your jury results until you are ready to release them.

When your Hide Current Artist Status is set to No, artists will be able to view their status, accept invitations, and purchase products (including booth products).

When your Hide Current Artist Status is set to Yes, artists will see their status as Received (even if they are in a different status on your end) and will not purchase any products.

This status should be set to Yes while your jury is in progress to prevent artists from seeing their statuses.

Only artists in the Invited, Accepted, and Exempt from Jury statuses can purchase booth products, and only artists in the Invited status can accept invitations.

If your artists are in the correct statuses but still can’t accept your invitation or buy a booth, check the following settings:

Within your Jury > Administration tab:
Make sure your current jury status is set to Complete in order for artists to see their status and accept your invitation. Make sure your Hide Current Artist Status is set to No to allow artists to purchase booth products.

If you are hosting a rolling jury (in which you jury throughout your application cycle), keep your jury set to In Progress and your Hide Current Artist Status set to No. This will allow Invited artists to go directly to the ZAPP Shop to purchase booth products.

Within your Event Editor
Make sure your Accept Invitation and Purchase Deadline (found on your Event Information page) is set to a future date.

Within your Product Editor
The checkbox next to your booth product must be selected, making it active, for artists to see and purchase the product.

ZAPP is able to internally refund artists on your behalf, provided the following conditions are met:

1. The refund request came via email from a show director or show staff. ZAPP does not accept refund requests via phone.
2. The refund request is for the full amount. ZAPP does not process partial refunds.
3. The show has revenue from which to refund. This refers to revenue collected in the current month (i.e. for the month of February, from February 1st to the current day of the month).
4. The payment was made via credit card. ZAPP cannot process refunds for check payments.

If the refund is for an application fee, the following requirements also apply:

1. The artist has only submitted one application to the festival.
2. The refund is not for an artist who forgot to use a coupon code. If the artist forgot to use a coupon code for an application fee, we recommend that you create a coupon code for the booth product instead.

Remittance checks are cut on the fifth business day of the month. If you are requesting a refund in the first week of the month, ZAPP may not be able to process the refund as your funds are being reconciled.

Artists will see a SOLD OUT message when the maximum quantity available for a product has been purchased or when your quantity has been set to 0.

If the latter is the case, go to the Event Editor > Product Editor tab and check your Sold of Quantity column to ensure it’s accurate. If you make changes, click the “Save Products” button.

You can assign booth numbers to artists if they are in the Invited, Accepted, or Confirmed status. To do so, navigate to Events > Management and click on the applicable status to load the table. If you do not see the “Booth #” field when the table loads, click on the “Table Editor” button on the right hand side of the screen and check the box for “Booth #.”

Only eight fields can be displayed at one time, so you may need to deselect another field. Click “Save” to save your changes and display the Booth # column.

To share booth numbers with artists, ensure the “Show Booth Assignments to Artists” drop-down menu on the Event Information page is set to Active. Artists will be able to see their booth assignments on their My ZAPPlications page after logging in.

Artist information and answers to your custom questions can be found in the reports at the bottom of your Event Management page. To download them, you must first choose a specific status or click the “View All” link under the Applications by Status table.

At the bottom of your applicant list, you will find three reports—Contacts, Answers, and PDF. Below, you can find a breakdown of the information included in each report:

If you are looking to track your revenue, you can download an Income Breakdown Report (Reports > Income Breakdown). This report can be used to track products artists have purchased, which artists have paid by check or credit card, and artists who have used a coupon.

Checks are cut and sent on the fifth business day of the month. You can track your revenue through the Income Breakdown Report (Reports > Income Breakdown). Watch our video tutorial on using the Income Breakdown Report.

If you chose to auto-deduct your ZAPP licensing fees, you will not receive a check until your fees are paid in full.

Every event on ZAPP gets one free link of images. To request this link, email zapphelp@westaf.org or submit a ticket with the following information:

• Name of your event
• Statuses to include (Confirmed, Awaiting Payment by Check, Invited, etc.)

When you download the link, images will be ordered in the following way:

• Show Name
  • Application Status
    • Medium Category
      • Images, organized by artist last name.

The first request is provided at no cost but additional links may incur a $20 fee.
