A Booth Is a Place.
A Market Is a Day.
Run the whole day from your phone. Load the truck from your inventory, print tags for that load, scan to ring up sales — even with no signal — and close out knowing what the day actually cleared.
Built for vintage markets, antique shows, weekend pop-ups and craft fairs. If your day has a load, a space you paid for, and a drive home, this is for that.
What Goes Wrong on a Market Day
The cash box is not the answer
You know what came in. What the day made depends on the booth fee, the gas, and what those goods cost you when you bought them — three numbers that live in three different places, if they were written down at all.
Sunday morning re-entry
Everything that did not sell has to go back into your records by hand. Most sellers skip it, and their inventory quietly stops matching what is actually in the bins.
No signal, no sale
Fairgrounds, old barns, a field with one bar. Any app that needs a connection to ring up a sale is an app that fails at the exact moment a buyer is standing in front of you with cash.
Same show, every year, no idea
You sign up again because last year felt busy. Busy and profitable are different things, and without the fee and the drive in the math you never find out which one it was.
Deals disappear
You take $60 for a $75 piece all day long. That is fine — but if nobody records it, your margins look wrong and you never learn how much discounting a show really takes.
Tags for the whole booth
Printing labels the night before means digging your load out of a list of everything you own, item by item, at eleven at night.
None of it is hard on its own. It is hard at four o'clock, in the sun, with a line at your table.
What You Get
All of it in the same app where you price items and keep your inventory — so the load, the sales, and the booth fee are never in three different places.
A load list, built from your inventory
Pick what is going with you and it becomes the manifest for the day: what went in the truck, what sold, and what came home. No re-typing — these are the items you already have.
Tags for just that load
The print screen opens with everything unsold on this market already selected. QR codes your shoppers can scan, and Ricochet-compatible barcodes your mall POS already reads.
Scan the tag to ring it up
It sells at your tag price. Change the price before you confirm if you cut someone a deal — and the day tells you exactly what you gave away in discounts.
Works with no signal
A sale is written to your phone first and only cleared once the server confirms it. Your load list is cached too, so scanning still resolves at a fairgrounds with nothing in the bars.
A retry never double-charges
Each sale carries a key generated once on the device and resent on every retry. A dropped connection cannot turn one sale into two in your books.
No tag? Sell it anyway
Find the item by name when a tag is torn or missing. Something that never made the load list still counts toward the day.
The costs, while you are standing there
Booth fee, mileage, card fees, supplies — one tap each. Every one is an ordinary expense row underneath, so it still lands in your year-end reports and is never counted twice.
Close out puts the unsold back
One tap records everything that did not sell as back home and locks the day in. No Sunday morning re-entry. Reopen it if you remember a cash sale on the drive.
Four Numbers, One Answer
Gross is the number everyone quotes in the parking lot. It is also the one that tells you the least.
Sales
What the day took in, across every piece that went out of the booth.
What they cost you
The acquisition cost of the items that actually sold — pulled from your inventory, not estimated.
The day's costs
Booth fee, gas, card fees, supplies. The costs that decide whether a busy day was a good one.
Took home
Sales minus goods minus costs. The number that tells you whether to sign up for that market again.
Alongside it: how much of what you loaded actually sold. Two markets can take in the same money and be nothing alike.
How a Day Runs
Four steps, and only one of them happens while you are busy.
- 1
Start the market
Name, venue, city, date. Do it the night before or standing in the parking lot — it takes about a minute either way.
- 2
Load the truck
Pick items from your inventory onto the load list, then print tags for exactly that load.
- 3
Sell all day
Scan a tag, adjust for a deal, confirm. Add the booth fee and your mileage whenever you get a minute.
- 4
Close out
One tap. The unsold goes back to your inventory, the numbers lock, and you drive home knowing what the day cleared.
One Market Free. Then as Many as You Work.
The free trial covers one full market, so you can run an entire Saturday before deciding anything. Every paid plan is unlimited — a vendor working two markets in a weekend should never hit a cap. There is no per-event charge and no cut of your sales.

Market Day FAQ
- Does it work without an internet connection?
- Yes, for selling. Sales are saved to your phone before they are sent and are only cleared once the server confirms them, and your load list is cached on the device — so scanning a tag still pulls the item up with no signal. Everything syncs when you are back in range. Setting up a new market and loading items do need a connection, which is why loading is something you do before you go.
- What happens to items that do not sell?
- Closing out records them as back home automatically and returns them to your normal inventory. There is no second pass and no re-entry. If you need to change something after closing, you can reopen the market, make the change, and close it again.
- Do market sales show up in my regular sales history?
- Yes. A sale made at a market is an ordinary sale — it lands in your sales history, updates the item, and feeds your analytics like any other. The market view is a lens on those sales, not a separate set of books.
- How is the booth fee handled at tax time?
- The booth fee is an ordinary expense row, the same as if you had entered it in Expenses directly. Attaching it to a market changes where it is reported, never whether it counts, and it is never counted twice. Nothing here is tax advice — check anything that affects a filing with your tax professional.
- What is sell-through, and why does it matter?
- It is the share of what you loaded that actually sold. Two markets can take in the same money while one moved a third of your truck and the other moved almost nothing but one expensive piece. Sell-through is how you tell those days apart when you are deciding what to book next season.
- Is Markets included on the free trial?
- The free trial covers one full market, so you can run an entire Saturday in the app before deciding anything. Every paid plan runs as many markets as you work — there is no per-event charge.
- What kinds of events is this for?
- Anything you load a truck for: vintage markets, antique shows, weekend pop-ups, craft fairs, barn sales, and estate-sale weekends. If your day has a load, a space you paid for, and a drive home, it fits.
