Farmers markets are great for discovery, but they are terrible for shelf space. If you sell multiple flavors, sizes, or bundles, your table can only hold so much. A Shopify kiosk fixes that problem by turning your stall into a storefront with an endless aisle.
Why inventory gaps cost sales
When a shopper asks for the flavor you sold out of or the bundle you do not carry, the sale often disappears. A Shopify self-service ordering kiosk lets them browse your full catalog and purchase on the spot, even when the product is not in front of them.
The kiosk as an endless aisle
A simple tablet setup works as a Shopify kiosk that shows everything you sell online. For a market vendor, that means:
- Jams, sauces, or seasonal items that rotate week to week
- Sizes and multipacks that do not fit on the table
- Gift bundles that are easier to ship than carry
The kiosk keeps the order in your hands instead of sending customers home to “buy later.”
The Shop App advantage
Many shoppers already have the Shop App on their phone. Shop has 250M+ verified shoppers, and Shop Pay saves shipping and payment info, which can convert up to 50% higher. That makes a Shopify self-service ordering kiosk even more effective at a busy market stand.
Keep the moment alive
Farmers markets are a decision moment. When the shopper is already excited, a Shopify self-service/ordering kiosk captures the purchase immediately. QR checkout lets them pay on their phone, and you can fulfill the order later or ship it directly.
A simple first step
Start with your top two collections on the kiosk: best sellers and hard-to-stock items. Track how many in-person shoppers complete an order when the item is not on the table. That is your baseline for expansion.
