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
Features

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

📲

Tap on Glass

Customers tap their card, phone, or watch on your screen. Payment 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

💸

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.

Common Questions

Market & vendor payment FAQs

How do farmers market vendors accept credit card payments?
Farmers market vendors can use CoreMobile to accept credit cards directly on any iPhone or Android using tap-on-glass technology. Customers tap their card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or wearable on the vendor's phone. No card readers or hardware needed.
What is the best payment app for craft fair vendors?
CoreMobile is ideal for craft fair vendors because it requires zero hardware, works on cellular data so venue Wi-Fi isn't needed, and processes tap-to-pay in seconds. Nothing to pack, charge, or troubleshoot. Just your phone.
Does CoreMobile work outdoors without Wi-Fi?
Yes. CoreMobile runs on your phone's cellular data. No Wi-Fi or hotspot needed. Outdoor markets typically have no reliable Wi-Fi, so CoreMobile's cellular-first design means you never lose a sale due to connectivity issues.
Can market vendors accept Apple Pay and Google Pay?
Yes. CoreMobile accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and all NFC-enabled payments alongside tap credit and debit cards. Customers pay with whatever they have, all on your phone screen, no extra devices.
What is the best way to accept payments at a craft booth without equipment?
CoreMobile is the simplest hardware-free payment solution for craft vendors. No equipment to pack, no battery to charge separately, no countertop space needed. Open the app on the phone you already carry and you're ready to accept tap-to-pay from the moment your booth opens.
Can I pass credit card fees to customers at my market booth?
Yes. CoreMobile's surcharging feature lets you compliantly add a processing fee to card purchases, shown transparently at checkout. Many market vendors use this to protect margins on lower-priced items without raising displayed prices.
