Shopstall is a free product page app for farmers market vendors, pop-up artisans, and local growers who want to showcase inventory and capture buyer orders without building an expensive website. Vendors display a custom QR code at their market booth that customers scan to view products, submit contact details, and place orders during or after market hours using cash or Interac e-Transfer.
The Weekend Market Dilemma: Why Traditional Websites Don't Work
- Cellular signal drops — outdoor markets and metal pavilion structures frequently block data, freezing heavy card-processing apps right when line-ups build.
- "Do you have a website?" lost sales — customers compliment your table, ask for a link, and walk away with no way to browse later.
- High monthly overhead — $30–$60 USD a month for hosting eats into slim weekend margins, especially off-season.
How Market Vendors Use Shopstall at the Booth
At the market
Customer scans booth QR code → views your menu on phone → submits name + phone number
After market hours
You receive instant email alert → confirm order → collect Interac e-Transfer or cash on pickup
Print Your Booth QR Code
Every Shopstall storefront comes with a shareable URL. Generate a high-resolution QR code and print it on your table banner, price cards, or flyers.
Instant Mobile Browsing (No App Required)
When shoppers scan your QR code, your storefront opens instantly in their browser — up to 15 products with photos, prices, and descriptions, no download or account needed.
Capture Pre-Orders and Post-Market Sales
Sold out of your best jam or sourdough by noon? Point customers to your QR code so they can reserve items for next week or schedule a local pickup.
Zero Merchant Fees on Cash & Interac e-Transfer
Avoid giving 3–4% of every sale to card processors. Shopstall captures the buyer's request along with their name and phone number — you follow up directly.

- Solution: A free Shopstall page listing 10 seasonal flavours, with a table sign: "Sold out today? Scan to pre-order for next Saturday."
- Results: 35+ weekly pre-orders captured automatically, $0 spent on hosting, and zero transaction fees via Interac e-Transfer.
