Market stall software for stock, bookings and profit

Running a market stall means juggling site bookings, a van full of stock, a fold-up gazebo and a stall fee that eats into margin if you're not watching it. CartFlow gives market traders one place to manage all of it: which markets you're booked into, what to pack, what stock you're carrying, who's helping on the day, and what you actually made once the stall fee, van fuel and cost of goods are taken out. It's built for traders who move between weekend markets, seasonal fairs and the occasional pop-up — not for a shop with a fixed till. Whether you sell produce, crafts, baked goods or ready-to-eat food, the workflow is the same: book the market, pack the van, trade, and know your numbers by the time you're driving home. Traders switching from a paper diary or a spreadsheet tell us the biggest win is simply not forgetting things — stock, staff, site fees — and finally being able to answer "was that market worth it?" with a real number instead of a feeling.

Who it's for

  • Solo market traders juggling several regular markets a month
  • Small teams with a helper or two on busier market days
  • Food, produce and craft stalls that carry physical stock between markets
  • Anyone still tracking bookings and stock in a paper diary or spreadsheet

Why it works

Every market booked and remembered

See upcoming markets, site fees and deadlines in one calendar instead of scattered texts and emails.

Nothing left behind

Packing list templates per market type mean the gazebo weights, float and signage make it into the van every time.

Stock that survives a busy Saturday

Track what's loaded, what sold and what's left — so you know what to restock before next week.

Helpers who know the plan

Assign a helper to a market and they see the packing list and stall details on their phone.

Real profit per market

Site fee, stock cost and takings combine into one net profit figure for every market you trade.

Works with no wifi at the market ground

Offline mode keeps recording sales and stock even without signal.

Common questions

Is this only for food stalls?

No — CartFlow works for any market stall carrying physical stock, food or otherwise. Recipes and cost-of-goods tracking are optional.

Can I track which markets are actually worth attending?

Yes. Profit reporting breaks down revenue, cost and fees per market, so you can compare markets side by side over a season.

I only trade every second weekend — is this overkill?

No. Most traders start with just event bookings and a packing list, then add stock and profit tracking when it's useful.

Can more than one person use it on stall day?

Yes. Add helpers as staff and they'll see only the events and tasks assigned to them.

Does it replace my card reader?

No, it works alongside it. CartFlow tracks the business side; your card reader or till still takes payment.

Is there a free plan?

Yes, CartFlow is free to start with no card required.
