FairPulse

Read full description

FairPulse is the all-in-one app for vendors who sell at farmers markets, craft fairs, pop-ups, and local events. Plan your inventory, run sales on the day, and end every market knowing what sold and what earned, before you're back in the car. You run the booth. FairPulse keeps the math. WORKS OFFLINE No signal at the market? No problem. Recording sales, editing inventory, capturing expenses, and viewing your recap all work with no connection. When your phone reconnects, FairPulse syncs in the background. You never have to think about it. INVENTORY Add products with photos, prices, quantities, categories, and tags. See what's low in stock at a glance and edit on the go. FairPulse even spots near-duplicate products, so you can merge them and keep your catalog clean. MARKET DAY Prepare your event in advance, then start tracking when you arrive. Record each sale on one screen, or use Quick Sale to tap an item straight onto the day's total. Quantities deduct from inventory automatically, and you can discount a whole order or a single item. Watch your running total climb and see what's selling in real time, with cash, card, or split payments. EXPENSES Capture booth fees, supplies, and travel with a photo of the receipt, so your profit is the real number, not a guess. YOUR RECAP Every market ends with a clear recap: revenue, items sold, net profit after expenses, your busiest hours, your best sellers and best category, and how this market compared to the last time you sold at the same venue. SECURE AND PRIVATE Your data is yours. Cloud backup keeps everything safe across your devices and encrypted in transit. Add an optional Face ID or fingerprint lock for peace of mind. Track inventory, plan your events, record sales, and capture expenses, for free. FairPulse Plus is an optional subscription that adds unlimited products, cost and profit tracking, full analytics, and spreadsheet export. Built for market vendors and craft sellers - your best selling day starts here.
