Trade show vendor FAQs
Built for vendors who move fast and sell hard
Everything a trade show vendor needs to close more sales, and none of the equipment headaches.
Tap on Glass
Customers tap their card, phone, or watch directly on your phone screen. No pairing required, no extra devices. Fastest checkout at any booth. Customers are sold and gone in seconds.
Easy Setup
Apply online before the show. Once you're approved, download the app. No waiting for hardware shipments or tech installs. You're ready to sell from your first day at any show.
Cellular-First Reliability
Convention center Wi-Fi is notoriously unreliable at peak show hours. CoreMobile runs on your phone's cellular data. No dependency on venue internet, no dropped connections mid-transaction.
Surcharging
Pass credit card processing fees to buyers compliantly and transparently. Keep your product pricing clean and protect your margins, especially important when you're moving volume at a multi-day show.
Card readers at trade shows are a liability, not an asset
Dead batteries, pairing failures, and slow Wi-Fi at convention centers have cost vendors real sales. CoreMobile eliminates all of it.
