VendorFlow

Built for vendor days

Preorders without the pileup

Turn event orders into a clean pickup flow.

VendorFlow helps you sell before the event, make only what is actually ordered, produce live at the booth, and keep pickup moving without one long confused line. VendorFlow connects with Square® and does not replace Square.

Simple Setup

How VendorFlow fits the day

Start with a public catalog, collect preorders through your shop, then use the event board to decide what gets pressed, packed, picked up, or shipped.

1

Open preorders

Show the souvenir catalog, pickup windows, shipping notes, and preorder deadline before you buy stacks of blanks.

2

Make only what sold

Turn paid orders into a production list for tees, totes, and hats, plus a small sample set for booth display.

3

Produce live

Press decals onto shirts and bags, press patches onto hats, and move each order through a simple status board.

4

Learn what sold

See what designs pulled demand, what sizes were requested, and what should be stocked for the next event.

The Real Problem

Vendor days should not force you to guess.

VendorFlow is being shaped around the questions small sellers ask before a big event, especially when handmade items need to stay separate from regular retail goods.

How do you avoid overmaking inventory?

You take preorders first, buy blanks from real demand, and make only confirmed shirts, totes, and hats plus a few samples.

How do you cover upfront event costs?

Preorder proceeds can help you cover vendor applications, booth deposits, blanks, transfers, packaging, and the supplies needed before the event opens.

How do you keep event stock separate?

VendorFlow only tracks the items you intend to bring to the market or event, so handmade inventory stays separate from regular retail goods.

Can you sell while producing live?

Yes. Your booth can become the production moment: heat press shirts and bags, patch-press hats, and let customers see the work happen.

How does your helper know what to do?

The queue shows what is new, what needs pressing, what is ready, what goes on the pickup rack, and what still needs shipping.

How do your customers avoid waiting around?

Each order can get a pickup number or status link so customers can browse, leave, or come back when their order is ready.

Live Build

Modeled from a real mobile vendor summer setup

This setup is built around a real storefront and sidewalk booth: preordered tees and totes, hats finished with pressed patches, a few samples on display, and a pickup board that keeps the day readable.
