They ask you to pick one when you apply to sell there. You choose your vendor type separately for every market that asks for one, as part of that market's application.\n\n## Change your vendor type\n\n1. Open **Applications** in your Vendor Dashboard.\n2. Find the market. If it shows **Incomplete**, click **Finish Application**. If it shows **Resubmit**, click **Resubmit**.\n\n   ![The Applications list, with the market marked Incomplete and its Finish Application button](https://articles.marketspread.com/images/change-your-vendor-type/01-applications-list.png)\n\n3. Under **Select a Type**, click the type that fits you the closest.\n\n   ![The Select a Type step, with Farmer as one of the choices](https://articles.marketspread.com/images/change-your-vendor-type/02-select-a-type.png)\n\n4. Continue through the rest of the application.\n\n!!! important \"Locked after you submit\"\n    Once you submit the application, you can't change your vendor type yourself. Ask the market to reopen it for you — that puts it back into **Resubmit**, and you can then follow the steps above to pick a different type."}
