How Farm POS Can Fuel Your Sales

As an Independent Farmer, the ability to serve your Buyers seamlessly, both online and in-person, is crucial. Your online and in-person sales must sync automatically to streamline your inventory management and capture all your sales in one account.

With the Barn2Door Point-of-Sale (POS), you can delight Buyers with a hassle-free purchase experience from your Farm while maintaining loyal relationships. Allow Buyers to choose their preferred payment method, redeem store credits, show their appreciation with a tip, and capture the email address of any customer who visits your booth.

Features of Barn2Door’s POS:

Single Merchant Account

All your transactions are linked to a single merchant account, whether they occur online or in-person. Your Farm can manage all your revenue in one place.

"I ordered the Barn2Door POS device. I appreciate the help with inventory management. Everything is in one place on the Barn2Door backend! So cool. The majority of my sales are in-person, so this will be great for me to keep in-person and online sales in sync automatically!" - Protein Farmer, NY

Real-time Inventory Sync

All your products purchased, online or in-person, will be automatically deducted from your Farm inventory. Easily track in-stock and out-of-stock items and identify low-inventory items at any time.

"I really like the fact that the Barn2Door POS pulls inventory at the market because that is the hardest thing to do — to come home and re-adjust inventory after a day at the market. Now, I get that time back!" - Protein Farmer, AR

Grid View

With the grid view on your POS device, in-person checkout is easier than ever before. In the Barn2Door POS app, it’s incredibly simple to tap and add any Farm product directly to a purchase.

Collated Inventory

The Barn2Door POS inventory list displays a single combined row per item, rather than a row per variant. Whether you're selling individual units, bundles, or bulk inventory, all your products are neatly grouped together and deducted from a single bin. For Farmers, this improves the browsing experience by removing friction at checkout and ensures all your inventory is accurately tracked, regardless of packaging options.

Sell to All your Buyers

If you serve retail, wholesale, and/or private Buyers, you can easily toggle between pricing sheets and packaging options for each customer. Instead of manually changing prices and unit sizes, you will have access to different variables based on the customer type you serve in-person. At the market, during pick-ups or deliveries, you can switch between pricing sheets with a single toggle on the Barn2Door POS.

Sell by Weight or Fixed Pricing

Whether your Farm sells products at a fixed price or by weight (or both!), your POS device can toggle between your preferences. Best of all, Barn2Door tracks the number of units separately from weight and price, so your inventory counts are accurate.

“Transactions on the Barn2Door POS are easy. I was surprised when using the Sell by Weight feature! Can't wait to use it at our upcoming event this Saturday!” - Protein Farmer, SC

Product Availability at the Market

With the Barn2Door POS App, each user can customize what products are “visible” on the POS at their given market. While your Farm may sell a wide variety of products online, it is easy to “hide” items on the POS that are not available at any given market. This makes the check-out experience quick and efficient - no unnecessary scrolling.

Flexible Payment Options

Take various payment methods for in-person sales using the Barn2Door POS terminal. Buyers can swipe, insert, or tap to pay with a card or phone, or pay with cash or check - with every transaction tracked on your device. Accept mobile wallets (Apple Pay and Google Pay), track cash payments, or fill in check details to easily serve any Buyer.

"The fact that the Barn2Door POS does the chip and the swipe all in one is very helpful. And I can customize the inventory so I don't have to scroll through all my items! I'm gonna have to order a second one soon!" - Honey Farmer, TX

Farmer Tips

You can enable tipping on your Barn2Door POS device to cover credit card processing fees or to let Buyers show their appreciation for your Farm. Accept 3%, 5%, or 10% tips, or add your own custom tip options. Your Farm can also customize interface tipping language (e.g., tip, gift, donation, cover fees) to navigate any state and local taxes on tips.

No Signature Required

Checkout is speedy with the Barn2Door POS! You do not have to collect customer signatures, reducing hassle for Buyers and enabling a smoother, quicker checkout process.

Email Capture

Capture emails during checkout at no additional cost per email collected. You can enable the option to prompt Buyers for their email address at checkout, and even 'guest' shoppers can opt in to your newsletters. Easily grow your email list for future marketing efforts.

"I am getting a lot of business with the Barn2Door POS. We did more business in 3 hours than we did in 3 days at the farmstand. We also got so many more emails, we don't even ask them half the time, they just sign up!" - Produce Farmer, TX
