You do not\napply to join it — once you are eligible, the market can add you, and from then\non you decide what of yours appears.\n\n## Check where you stand\n\nOpen **Settings**, then **Market Stores**. It lists every market you have\napplied to that runs a store, and whether you are in it.\n\n![The Settings menu open, with Market Stores](https://articles.marketspread.com/images/vendor-market-store-eligibility/01-settings-menu.png)\n\n![The Market Stores list, with one market showing In Store and another showing Out of Store](https://articles.marketspread.com/images/vendor-market-store-eligibility/02-market-stores.png)\n\n**Online Store** is a different setting — it's about your own separate shop,\nnot the market's.\n\n## Become eligible\n\nTwo things make you eligible, and they are the same two needed for any selling:\n\n1. Turn on **Vendor Premium**.\n2. Apply to take card payments, and be approved.\n\nBoth are steps on your dashboard. Until both are done the market sees you as\nnot eligible and cannot add you. Approval to take payments takes 24 to 48\nhours.\n\nOnce you are eligible the market sees you flagged in their vendor list, and can\nadd you to their store. When they have, your status under **Market Stores**\nchanges to show you are in it.\n\n## Take yourself out\n\nYou stay in control of whether you are in a market's store — useful if you\nare away for a few weeks, or if you are done for good.\n\n1. Under **Market Stores**, click **Block** under the market you want to\n   stop taking part in.\n2. Click **Block** again to confirm.\n\n   ![The confirmation before blocking participation](https://articles.marketspread.com/images/vendor-market-store-eligibility/04-block-confirmation.png)\n\nYour status changes to Blocked, with **Allow** to take part again when you're\nready.\n\n![A market now showing Blocked, with Allow to take part again](https://articles.marketspread.com/images/vendor-market-store-eligibility/05-blocked.png)\n\n## Keep one product out of the store\n\n1. Open **Products** and click the product.\n\n   ![The Products page, with a product in the vendor's list](https://articles.marketspread.com/images/vendor-market-store-eligibility/06-products-list.png)\n\n2. Turn off **Viewable on your online vendor profile?**\n\n   ![The Viewable on your online vendor profile? toggle, currently on](https://articles.marketspread.com/images/vendor-market-store-eligibility/07-viewable-toggle.png)\n\n3. Click **Save**.\n\n   ![The toggle turned off, ready to Save](https://articles.marketspread.com/images/vendor-market-store-eligibility/08-toggle-off.png)\n\nIt stops appearing in the store, and everything else of yours stays.\n\n!!! tip \"Check how you look\"\n    Click **Visit Store** under a market you're in, then filter by **Vendor**\n    and pick your own name to see your products the way a customer sees them.\n\n    ![Visit Store under a market you're in, to see the store the way a customer does](https://articles.marketspread.com/images/vendor-market-store-eligibility/03-visit-store.png)"}
