Selling at Marketsor Testing Retail?
You don't need a full POS system to start selling in person. Shopify POS Lite on your phone, a card reader, and you're ready for the weekend market.
Is This You?
You make things and want to sell them at markets. Or you have an online store and want to test if physical retail makes sense before committing to a lease. You need something simple—not a full retail setup.
Maybe you've been taking cash only, or using Square just for markets while your real business runs on Shopify. You want everything in one place without overcomplicating things.
