Holiday markets bring crowded stalls, long lines, and shoppers who want to tap and go. 🎄 The moment a card reader runs low or loses signal, sales can slip away to the next stand. 💳
A little preparation the night before keeps checkout smooth from the first customer to the last. ✨
Here are six checks to run before market day:
🔋 Full Charge: Charge your Sum Up USA Solo overnight and pack a power bank or cable for longer days.
📶 Connection Check: Test your Wi-Fi or mobile data before you leave, so payments go through even at a busy venue.
🔄 Software Updates: Install any reader and app updates at home rather than in front of a waiting customer.
🛍️ Product List: Add your best sellers and prices in advance so each sale takes seconds to ring up.
✅ Test Payment: Run a small test transaction to confirm everything works before the crowds arrive.
🧾 Receipt Plan: Decide whether customers will get receipts by email or text, and have a backup ready for anyone who asks.
