Fast Sales Entry
Tap to sell with Quick Entry, build a multi-item cart with the Order Builder, or knock out a whole table's worth of sales in Batch Entry. Works the way your market day actually flows.
Stop counting change and start counting profit.
TentTally replaces the notebook, the spreadsheet, and the mental math. Track sales, manage inventory, handle custom orders, and know your numbers — built for farmers market and craft fair vendors who want to spend market day selling, not scrambling.
What is TentTally?
TentTally is sales and inventory software for farmers market vendors, craft fair sellers, and makers who sell at in-person events. It runs in the browser on any phone, tablet, or computer — there's no app to install.
Vendors use it to ring up sales at the booth, track stock from production run to sale, take custom orders with deposits, decide what to pack for the next market, and pull tax and profit reports at the end of the season. It connects to Square for catalog import and inventory sync. TentTally doesn't process payments itself — card payments are still taken in Square or whatever reader you already use.
Everything your booth actually needs.
No bloat, no learning curve — just the tools that make market day easier and your books cleaner.
At the booth
Ring up sales fast, even with a line.
Multi-Buy Deals & Discounts
Set up "3 for $10" or "2 for $15" deals on a product, a group, or a whole category, and the Order Builder suggests the deal when a cart qualifies. Knock a few dollars off for a regular with a line or cart discount — each one logged with a reason, and your catalog price never changes.

Invite a partner or booth helper with their own login. Members get full day-to-day access; Cashiers see only the sale screen — no reports, no product costs, no margins. Every sale records who rang it up.

Set a default rate, give a market its own rate, or override it for one market day — a fair in another town, say. Price tax-inclusive or add tax on top — TentTally locks in the rate on every sale, so your tax report is right at the end of the season.

Smart Packing List
Let your sales history do the work. TentTally suggests what to bring from what sold at your recent markets — and with Load Tracking, it also weighs sell-through, trends, seasonality, and how recently each item sold. The list shows what you've already made alongside what you still need to produce, so you walk into market day fully prepared.

Take bespoke orders, collect deposits, set due dates, and track fulfillment without losing anything in a text thread or a sticky note. Every custom order lives in one place from first contact to pickup.
Load Tracking
Log out what you load up, log back in what comes home. TentTally automatically converts what you sold into sales records — no manual entry at the end of a long day.
A Dashboard for Your Market Week
The dashboard shifts with your week. Before a market: a countdown and low-stock alerts. On market day: today's revenue and quick actions front and center. After: the last market's revenue, items sold, and top seller, plus custom orders due this week.
Behind the scenes
Your catalog, stock, and numbers in one place.
Product Catalog
Keep your full lineup organized with prices, costs, batch sizes, SKUs, and custom attributes like scent, size, or color. Product Groups bundle the formats of one design — an 8x10, an 11x14, and a framed print — so checkout stays tidy. Import everything from a CSV file or straight from Square instead of typing it in.
Inventory Tracking
Know exactly what's on your shelf before market day. Log production runs, get automatic stock deductions on every sale, set low-stock alerts, and see a production plan that shows the gap between what you've made and what you need to bring. Custom orders soft-reserve stock so nothing gets double-sold.
Reports That Mean Something
Six reports built for market vendors: tax summaries, profit analysis, best sellers, market summaries, revenue by category, and payment method breakdown (cash vs. card vs. check). Leave a rained-out market out of your totals, and export any report to CSV.
Works With Square
Import your Square catalog — prices, costs, and SKUs included. At the booth, Charge with Square hands the cart total to the Square app and records the sale when payment goes through. Turn on inventory sync and TentTally pulls Square's stock counts after each market.
See it in action
Pack from your numbers, not a hunch.
The Smart Packing Estimator suggests how many of each item to bring from what sold at your recent markets. Log what you pack and what comes home with Load Tracking, and it also weighs sell-through, trends, and seasonality, favoring your latest markets. Then it checks your stock and tells you what you still need to make before Saturday.
Know what you actually made.
Every sale records its cost, so profit and margin are real numbers, not estimates. Filter by market or date range, leave out a rained-out day, and export to CSV for your accountant.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. TentTally offers a free trial — no credit card required to get started. Set up your products, run it at your next market, and decide from there. We'd rather earn your business than lock you in.
- That's the whole point. TentTally is designed to run in a mobile browser — no app to download. Quick Entry and the Order Builder are built for tapping, not typing, so you can make a sale in a few seconds even when the booth is three people deep.
- Yes. Invite them as a Cashier and they get their own login that only opens the sale screen — no reports, product costs, or margins. A partner who helps run the business can be a Member with full day-to-day access instead. Every sale records who rang it up.
- If your spreadsheet tells you what to pack, tracks custom orders with deposits, calculates your profit per product, and generates a tax report — stick with it. If it doesn't, that's the gap TentTally fills — and you can import your product list from a spreadsheet (CSV) or Square instead of retyping it.
- Your data is yours. Your full sales log and every report export to CSV at any time. We don't hold your information hostage.
