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.
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
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.
The register runs at the booth, on a phone, with your own prices already in it.
Takings are captured at the stall and settle when you are back in range, so a dead bar is not a lost sale.
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.
Sales are tracked against the event, so you can see which markets actually paid and which ones cost you a Saturday.
Take card at the booth and reconcile it the same way you would at a counter, without a separate app and a separate account.
Both run through the same customer list and the same reporting, so stock and takings aren't split across two systems.

FAQ
Yes. Sales attach to the pitch you were working, so comparing one market against another is a report rather than a shoebox of receipts.
Yes — online orders and booth sales run through the same system, so the reporting is one set of numbers.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A short call, on your own services and your own customers. We'll show you what the first week looks like, and talk through what it would take to get you there.
