8. Messaging Board
- You have the option to switch on 'Live Chat' with your exhibitors via the messaging board feature.
- If you enable this feature, exhibitors have a chat box on their console, where they can message you directly. You will receive email and in-app notification of any new chat messages.
- The chat box is shared between all users for each exhibitor company, meaning if 'user 1' from 'exhibitor company A' messages you, 'user 2' from 'exhibitor company A' can see the chat history. This is great for ensuring you are not answering the same question multiple times for one exhibitor.
- You can toggle this messaging board on and off. If you switch if on, it is added to the left hand menu on a show. If you switch it off, exhibitors cannot see it.
9. Notification Settings
- Email Cloaking
- Frequency
- The Frequency feature lets you control how often task reminder emails are sent to exhibitors.
- Default setting: weekly reminders, every Monday at 7am, starting from the date you choose.
- As your event gets closer: you might want to increase the frequency. For example, twice per week, or even daily reminders to capture those last-minute responses.
Don’t worry about “nagging” exhibitors. Any frustration is directed at the system (not you personally!) and those extra reminders can make the difference in hitting full task completion before your event goes live.
10. Exhibitor Shop
- Set the currency for your show's shop.
- Set the VAT rate for your show's shop.
- Copy this shop link into tasks or your show info to direct exhibitors to the shop.
- Invoice forwarding enables users outside of FFAIR to receive a copy of any invoices you receive from the shop, for organiser revenue.
- Bank Transfer payment method can be toggled on or off. If off, your exhibitors can only pay by credit/debit card. If it is on, the have the option to pay by bank transfer (directly to Stripe) and they will receive an invoice upfront.
- Bank transfer - minimum order allows you to set a minimum order value that bank transfer will be available for, if you choose to switch it on.

- See Integrations for more information
12. Local Map Settings
- See Custom Terminology for more information
13. Electronic Signature
- The Electronic Signature feature lets you create or upload your signature in FFAIR. Once added, your signature can be applied to task approvals. This allows you to generate an official Task Approval Certificate that exhibitors can download and bring with them to the event.
Example:
When you approve an exhibitor’s stand plan, the system can generate a certificate showing official sign-off, stamped with your electronic signature.
This provides exhibitors with clear, documented approval and helps streamline onsite checks.
