Features

Everything a market vendor needs. Nothing they don't.

📲

Tap on Glass

Customers tap their card, phone, or watch on your screen. No fumbling with a card reader, no entering PINs, no waiting. Keeps your booth line moving.

📡

Cellular. No Market Wi-Fi

Outdoor markets have no reliable Wi-Fi. CoreMobile uses your phone's cellular data to process every transaction. No connectivity issues, no declined payments due to a poor signal.

🔋

Always Ready

No battery to charge, no charging cable to haul, no hardware to power up. CoreMobile uses your phone's NFC chip, the same battery you're already managing. One less thing to worry about at market setup.

💸

Surcharging

Protect your margins on low-ticket items. CoreMobile's surcharging feature lets you compliantly add a processing fee, shown clearly at checkout, so you're not absorbing card fees on every $12 jar of jam.

Works at Every Market Type

Common Questions

Market & vendor payment FAQs

What are the best payment devices for outdoor markets?
The phone you already carry. Tap-on-glass apps like CoreMobile use your iPhone or Android's NFC chip to accept tap-to-pay - no card reader, dongle, or terminal to lose or break outdoors.
How do farmers market vendors accept credit card payments?
On any iPhone or Android with CoreMobile's tap-on-glass technology. Customers tap their card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay on your phone. No card readers or hardware needed.
What is the best payment app for craft fair vendors?
CoreMobile. Zero hardware, works on cellular data so venue Wi-Fi isn't needed, and processes tap-to-pay in seconds. Just your phone.
Does CoreMobile work outdoors without Wi-Fi?
Yes. CoreMobile runs on your phone's cellular data, so no Wi-Fi or hotspot is needed - you never lose a sale to spotty venue connectivity.
Can market vendors accept Apple Pay and Google Pay?
Yes. CoreMobile accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and all NFC payments alongside tap cards, right on your phone screen.
What is the best way to accept payments at a craft booth without equipment?
CoreMobile. No equipment to pack or charge - just open the app on the phone you already carry and accept tap-to-pay the moment your booth opens.
Can I pass credit card fees to customers at my market booth?
Yes. CoreMobile's surcharging feature compliantly adds a processing fee to card purchases, shown transparently at checkout, to protect margins.
The Problem

Card readers at market booths create problems, not solutions

Between dead batteries, pairing issues, and lost dongles, portable card readers cause more headaches than they solve. CoreMobile eliminates every single one.

Portable Card Readers

  • Dead battery by 10am on a full-day market
  • One more thing to pack every Saturday
  • Takes up limited booth counter space
  • Easy to lose or have stolen at a busy market
  • No outdoor Wi-Fi = declined transactions

With CoreMobile

  • Runs on your phone, already in your pocket
  • Nothing extra to pack or set up
  • No counter space used. Just hold it up
  • Your phone is always with you anyway
  • Cellular data. No market Wi-Fi needed
