Pop-up shop at a farmer's market? Selling at a craft fair? Sometimes you need to take payments on the spot without lugging around a full POS setup. Shopify's new Quick Sale feature turns your phone into an instant payment processor.
The whole process is refreshingly simple. Search for products in your catalog, scan barcodes, or punch in custom amounts for one-off items. Payment happens right on your phone - either through Tap to Pay for cards or good old-fashioned cash transactions.
You're not stuck with basic functionality either. Apply discounts on the fly, toggle taxes on or off, jot down notes for your records, and fire off digital receipts via email or text. Everything you'd expect from a proper checkout, just streamlined for mobile.
It's built for those moments when you need to sell fast without the fuss - think pop-ups, markets, trunk shows, or anywhere else you're making quick sales without your usual setup. No extra hardware required, just your phone and the Shopify app.
Getting started takes about two minutes: open your Shopify app, hit "Quick sale" from the main menu, then enable Shopify Payments and Tap to Pay. That's it - you're ready to start selling anywhere.
