Sell at the booth, know what it made

Farmers markets, ren faires, festivals, pop-ups. You're set up somewhere different every weekend and the card reader has to just work. QuixChex takes the money at the booth and tells you which events were worth it.

How a sale runs

One Sale, Start to Finish

You set up at a market. Sales run through the register at the booth. At the end of the day you can see what that pitch made against what it cost — and the online orders that came in that week are in the same place.

  1. You set up at the pitch

    The register runs at the booth, on a phone, with your own prices already in it.

  2. Card works where the signal does not

    Takings are captured at the stall and settle when you are back in range, so a dead bar is not a lost sale.

  3. Online and the booth are one set of books

    What the pitch made against what it cost, and the week’s online orders, in the same place.

Stall sold out. One set of books. Paid.

Pitches, Signal, Two Tills

Every weekend is a different pitch

Sales are tracked against the event, so you can see which markets actually paid and which ones cost you a Saturday.

Card has to work where the signal doesn't

Take card at the booth and reconcile it the same way you would at a counter, without a separate app and a separate account.

Online and in-person are two sets of books

Both run through the same customer list and the same reporting, so stock and takings aren't split across two systems.

FAQ

Questions, Answered

Can I see takings per event?

Yes. Sales attach to the pitch you were working, so comparing one market against another is a report rather than a shoebox of receipts.

Can I sell online as well as at the booth?

Yes — online orders and booth sales run through the same system, so the reporting is one set of numbers.

Do I need a full point of sale?

You can use the register built in, or connect the terminal you already take to markets. Either way the takings land in the same place.

There’s no signal in the field — can I still take a card?

No. The card goes to the processor the second you press charge, and there’s no queue holding it until the bars come back. Cash doesn’t save you either — ringing up a sale is a call to the server, so with the connection down the register records nothing at all. Write it on paper at the stall and put it through when you have a bar.

A buyer wants their money back after the market — can I refund it?

No. Nothing on the register or on a finished sale sends money back out, and most stall sales carry no name, so there’s usually no customer record to reverse against. Money going back is cash out of the float, or a call to whoever settles your card takings. The sale stays on file either way — what was bought, the price, the tax it was rung at and the day it happened.

I work markets in three counties — does the tax rate follow the event?

No. One rate sits on your account and goes onto everything rung up at the stall, whichever county the tent is in — nothing looks up where you parked. Changing the figure isn’t on your own settings screen; you ask us and we move it. A sale keeps the rate it was rung at, so a receipt pulled up in January still shows what the buyer actually paid.
