At Merchant Fund Express, we set up Clover for launch checklist for a craft fair vendor: the right devices, the features that matter in your workflow and on-site training for your staff.

Craft fair vendors sell unique handmade goods across weekends, often at several fairs a month with unpredictable foot traffic.
Not recording cash sales means sell-through reports understate what actually moved at each fair.
the table is dressed and prices are checked against tags, since tags and screen must agree.
browsers outnumber buyers, so quick custom amounts handle one-off pieces.
bundles and multiples are rung as one item with a quantity.
the weekend's sales are matched to the stock list for the next show.
Usually the maker alone or with a friend. One login is enough, with a second added when a helper takes payment.
Commissions and custom orders are common; take a deposit when the order is placed and record it against the customer.
Handmade items often have no barcodes, so a short list of product lines with quick price buttons works better than a per-item catalog. Custom amounts cover one-offs.
Craft fairs reward the maker who treats a weekend as a small retail launch: a clear price card, a bundle for the buyer who wants three, a sign-up for the mailing list at the table and a note on every sale of the show it came from. The report by fair is what decides next year's calendar.
