The problem

The internet is super slow.

Your booth doesn't have to be.

  1. Customer waiting.

    “Is it loading?”

  2. You tapping again.

    “Did that order go through?”

  3. Three more customers arrive.

    Now you're trying to remember who's waiting for what.

If the internet dies halfway through your Saturday, you can still:

  • keep the printer printing
  • see what needs made
  • mark magnets paid
  • keep the line moving

What Vendormade does

One screen runs your whole market day.

Take the order. Make it. Hand it over. Know what the money did, at any point in the day and not after you've packed the van. It's one clear list right in front of you instead of juggling multiple apps and whatever you're holding in your head.

Offline-first is why it holds up on a bad day. It isn't the whole job.

Orders

A line of people waiting on a loading screen slows your whole booth down. Orders are saved on your device the moment you tap, so the next customer never waits on the WiFi.

Production

When the network stalls, it's easy to lose track of who's waiting for what. Your queue stays on your screen, in the order to make it, whether the internet is up or not.

Money

A dropped connection shouldn't mean guessing what you made. Every order keeps what it cost and how it was paid, so your totals are right there before you pack up.

The app can say OFFLINE while your booth keeps running. That's the proof.

Take an order with me

Pick a photo of your own and it goes straight onto the blank. That is how an order starts at the table.

It stays on your device. Nothing here uploads it.

How it works

Take it. Make it. Hand it over. Know what it made.

  1. Take the order

    Ring it up at the table in a few taps, or let the customer send it from their own phone. Same list either way.

  2. Make it

    Your queue shows what still needs made, in the order to make it. Print the sheet, press it, move on.

  3. Hand it over

    Mark it paid and call the name. If money is still owed, the app stops you and says who owes what.

  4. Know what it made

    Your totals are done before you pack up, and each show weighs its sales against its booth fee, gas and hotel: rebook, watch the fees, or skip. When you get a signal, the day goes up to your account on its own.

Who it's for

Built for people who make things at the booth.

Photo magnet vendors, market and festival vendors, makers, artists, and anyone building a custom product while the customer waits.

Your booth

Your queue, print jobs, and totals live right on your screen, so none of your production gets stalled by venue internet.

Orders from their phone

Customers order from their own phone, on their own signal. If their phone can't get through, you ring the order up yourself and nothing stops.

Who uses it today

I am not going to tell you thousands of vendors use this. Right now it is me, at my own table, every market. Early access is small on purpose, so when something goes wrong you are messaging the person who built it.

Founder's note

Built because this kept happening.

I've watched a booth full of customers turn into a line of people waiting on a loading screen. Not because the booth was too busy. Because everyone was sharing one terrible internet connection.

An order that should take 20 seconds suddenly takes two minutes, and there's someone standing right in front of you the whole time. That's Saturday afternoon at a busy market.

So I built Vendormade around a simple idea: your booth shouldn't stop working just because the internet does.

It doesn't take the payment yet, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. You keep using whatever you use now. I started with the part that slows you down every single market, and I run it at my own booth every market, which means I find the bugs before you do.

Coming soon

Show planning: next year's shows, planned from this year's.

  • Run a show again next year, with last year's numbers beside it
  • A packing list that carries over from show to show

Questions

Before you join the list

Yes, for everything at your table once orders come in. You can print sheets, press magnets, hand them over, and track your daily totals right on your screen without waiting on a connection. Two parts still need internet today: customers need a connection on their phone to send their photos to you, and your screen connects whenever it gets signal to back up your day. We are actively working on a direct offline photo transfer right at the table so even guest uploads won't need internet in the future.

Your day goes up to your account on its own. You don't press a button, and you never rebuild the day by hand.

Your booth works the same way. The difference is behind the scenes: your day backs up as you go, phone orders come in, and a second device stays in step. Good signal makes Vendormade better. Bad signal doesn't stop it.

Yes. Orders, customers, products, coupons, and photos move between your devices once they have a signal, the same way any cloud app you already use keeps your things in step.

Right now, yes. Customers scan your QR code and send photos using their phone's data or venue Wi-Fi, with nothing to download. Because photo transfers still require a connection, guests do need signal to get their photos to your screen. We are actively working on a 100% offline transfer so guests can pass photos directly to your setup at the booth.

No, and we won't pretend otherwise. You keep taking money the way you do now: Square, Shopify, Cash App, Venmo, cash, whatever works. What Vendormade does is remember. Every order records what it was, what it cost, and how you got paid, so your totals are done before you start packing up. Card payments still need a signal, unless your reader works offline.

No. Vendormade runs in any modern browser on your laptop, iPad, or tablet, with nothing to install from an app store. You just use your existing printer and magnet press. Vendormade tells you what to make and prints the sheet. It doesn't press the magnet.

Everything on it is already in your account, so a lost device costs you the hardware and nothing else. You can put a PIN lock on the app so nobody at the table can get in. Treat it the way you'd treat a cash box.

Most booth software requires an active connection for every single tap, so slow venue Wi-Fi freezes your screen and stalls your line. Vendormade is built offline-first: your queue and production stay right on your device so a bad connection never stops you from making magnets.

Photo magnets first, on purpose. The same steps fit buttons, keychains, prints, and ornaments, and anything else you make while the customer waits. I'd rather be great for one kind of table than okay for all of them.

Yes. Each show keeps where you stand with the organizer (considering, applied, waitlisted, accepted, or declined), its apply-by date, and its booth fee and when that's due. Your dashboard lists what's coming up in the next 30 days, and marking a show accepted puts it on your schedule. After the show, log the booth fee, gas, and hotel against it, and it tells you whether to rebook.

We haven't set pricing yet. The waitlist is free and doesn't commit you to anything, and you'll see the price before anyone asks you to pay it.

We're letting vendors in a few at a time, market by market. The list is small on purpose. When something breaks, you're messaging the person who built it and not a support ticket.
