How do you prepare to sell at a farmers' market; How to Take Payments at Farmers Market

What do you need in order to sell at a farmer's market? It is not as simple as paying a price for a booth and showing up on the appointed day. There are a number of things that must be in place before you can begin selling goods at a farmers' market. You will need licenses and permissions from both your county and the farmers' market. Each market has its own set of regulations, and standards can be quite varied.

You will need to be able to accept payments via contactless techniques like NFC in addition to traditional payment methods like credit and debit cards. You need a wireless credit card machine capable of operating on data networks such as 3G and 4G. Some farmer's markets may have Wi-Fi, but even if they do, you still need the machine. Consumers want to be able to pay using the method that is most convenient for them.
