Recurring Revenue at the Market: Shopify Kiosk Subscriptions from a Booth

Subscriptions are a natural fit for farmers markets: seasonal produce boxes, monthly coffee beans, or a rotating pantry bundle. The challenge is space and time. A Shopify kiosk solves that by letting shoppers subscribe on the spot without you adding inventory to the table.

Small booth, big offering

A Shopify self-service ordering kiosk can show your full subscription options, even if you only carry samples at the market. This keeps the booth clean, reduces setup, and still lets customers commit while they are engaged.

The in-person advantage

People buy subscriptions when they can see, taste, or ask questions. A Shopify kiosk keeps that personal moment and removes the friction of “sign up online later.” The kiosk handles the plan selection, shipping details, and checkout in one flow.

Make it feel simple

Keep the subscription offer focused:

• One hero box with a clear monthly value
• A seasonal special that changes every quarter
• A small upgrade for gifting

When the kiosk shows a clean path, shoppers are more likely to say yes.

You can also auto-apply a discount code or incentive at checkout for kiosk orders, which makes the decision feel immediate and rewarding.

The Shop App advantage

Shop has 250M+ verified shoppers, and Shop Pay keeps payment and shipping details ready for a two-tap checkout that can convert up to 50% higher. That convenience helps a Shopify kiosk turn a quick booth visit into a long-term subscription.

Pilot and compare

Run a 30-day test. Promote one subscription on your booth signage and the kiosk home screen. Then compare repeat revenue to the prior month. That single measure tells you if the offer resonates.
