Hi Megan, great vlog as always!! I noticed that there might be one more step for threading your sewing machine. With all the machines I've used there was always another hook for the thread on the needlebar before threading the needle.
I've had the app/sum up set up for YEARS and never knew either hahah! I remember seeing it and going 'no wayyyy' 🤭 game changer! The phone app is a little more limited on options regarding inventory I think but still possible! Anytime lovely! I hope it works for you! 💕
Thank you soo much for sharing our wee business Little Lights Laboratories, Megan and Alex! It was such a joy to chat to you both, and I am in love with my new coaster from you that I'd been eyeing up for ages. 🌼 p.s. your display was incredible and super inviting. Love, Sara at the Wax Melts table x
I use sumup, recently set up my physical shop, was looking at the POS but then realised I could sumup use it on my iPad! can add all my stock, put prices in so it adds it up for me and track my stock. Though the barcode scanner would make things even easier 😂 ooooooohhh and you can add a variant in each individual item for sale offers, for example, I sell wax melt snappers for £4 or 2 for £7, so I have two variants witin each item the 'Standard single price' of £4 and a 'sale price' of £3.50, works for me instead of having to take the extra steps of manually adding discount!
I use square but have added an option for a “$ off special” so like “$2 off special” “$3 off special” etc. just like you added the “3 for $10” option you would just have it as the dollar amount taken off the grand total. So you would still select the scrunchies they purchase but add in that one option that takes off the amount needed to make them the 3 for $10. I hope that makes sense. 😅
Hi Megan. ❤ thanks for sharing ... I'm glad it went well for you aside from the phobia issue. Best of luck with your business. Wishing you a lot of success!
It was so lovely to have a catch up! Thank you for sharing our stall (You have literally made the products look 100 x better than any video I got on the day)😂 and I'm glad myself & Neil could help you out when needed. I love my sum up, its so easy to use. I did think about adding individual products to it rather than typing in an amount so may look into that for Novembers market! Great vlog as always 🧡 xx
I don’t actually have a reader for it, but my Monzo Business account is run by Stripe (like I can use my phone as a terminal which is cool) - was wondering what their fees were since you mentioned it. Currently as of this comment, it’s 1.4% + 10p charge for transactions with EEA (that’s European Economic Area) cards and 2.9% +10p for non-EEA cards. There’s more I have to research before doing a market but it’s good info to know!
Ahhh I’m gutted I was too poorly to come on Saturday, feels like it’s been forever since I’ve seen you! 🥺 I LOVE using a POS system. But I haven’t been able to find one *perfect* for me yet. I’m looking into whether I can get the Shopify system so that it links to my website. Have a look around, because some systems you can set up automatic discounts - maybe square? 🤔 so when you add 3 minis, it will automatically discount to £10! 🤭 game changer! Hope you’re both okay 🩷
tracking inventory is a work in progress for me when i do markets. i appreciate you sharing

Omg I hadn’t realised (never really looked ) that inventory can be added to the SumUp, thank you for sharing this info. I’m definitely doing this xx
