Getting Started with Membrzs Market

Membrzs Market turns your smartphone or tablet into a full-featured point-of-sale system tailored specifically for farmers markets, pop-up events, and mobile vendors. Follow this guide to complete your initial setup and process your first market sale.

1. Account Setup & Signing In

  1. If you don't have a vendor account yet, go to portal.membrzs.com and sign up — you'll set your store profile, pick a plan, and connect Stripe Connect there. (On Android you can also do this in the app by tapping Register.)
  2. Open the Membrzs Market app on your iPhone or Android device and sign in with your email and password, or with Face ID / Touch ID if biometrics are configured.
  3. If your workspace has multi-factor authentication (MFA) enabled, enter your verification code.

2. Managing Your Product Catalog

Before opening your first session, set up your master product catalog:

  • In the app, go to Config > Products (or Products in the Web Portal).
  • Tap + Add Product.
  • Fill in the details:
    • Name & Emoji: Choose a recognizable emoji icon and descriptive name.
    • Pricing Type: Select Per Unit (e.g., $5.00 each) or By Weight (e.g., $3.50 / lb).
    • Tax Settings: Toggle Tax exempt if the item is food/produce exempt from local sales tax.
    • Barcode: Scan an existing barcode or enter a UPC code for quick checkout scanning.

Have a lot of products to add at once? The Web Portal also supports uploading a whole catalog from a spreadsheet — see the bulk product/sale upload article.

3. Opening a Market Session

Membrzs Market uses a session-based model so your sales, cash drawer calculations, and inventory tracking are grouped per market event.

  1. From the session picker, tap + Open New Session.
  2. Select your Market Location (e.g., Downtown Saturday Market).
  3. Choose your Cash Drawer Mode:
    • Shared Drawer: All team members use a central cash box.
    • Per Seller: Each seller tracks their own cash drawer and sales separately.
  4. Enter your Opening Cash ($).
  5. Optionally set a Revenue Goal ($) to track progress toward a target for the session, and (on Team/Enterprise plans) turn on Session Leaderboard to rank sellers by sales during the session.
  6. Tap Open.

4. Processing Your First Sale

  1. Add Items to Cart: Tap product tiles in the grid, or tap Scan to add an item by scanning its barcode with the camera.
  2. Adjust Quantities: For unit items, use the + / - steppers in the cart. For weight-priced items, enter the exact weight.
  3. Select Tender Type:
    • Cash: Enter the amount tendered to see exact change due.
    • Charge Card: Uses your connected Stripe M2 Reader or Tap to Pay if you're on a plan that includes one (Lite and up) — opens manual card entry instead on Freemium.
  4. Complete Checkout: Choose whether to send an email/SMS receipt.
