What NEW BUYER, returning buyer and the bin number mean.

Chrome + iPad

The popup

Every time someone wins, a card pops up with the bin number in big letters, the item number and the buyer.

New buyer popup: BIN 07.

Returning buyer popup.
Returning buyer
First purchase popup.
First purchase from your shop
  • New buyer: their first win of the show. They get the next empty bin, and its label prints.
  • Returning buyer: they already have a bin this show. The item goes in the same bin.
  • First purchase: their first purchase from your shop ever. Their label is marked, so you can add a thank-you note.

Sale cards stay up 10 seconds. Tap one to close it sooner, or change Popup duration in settings.

Sales stack up under each buyer's bin, newest on top, with the item number and price. On the iPad, Sort by bin puts bins in number order for packing.

The Chrome live feed: bins with buyers, items and prices, a PENDING sale, and Pending Payments at the top.

The iPad live feed: bins 04, 01, 03 and 02, each with the buyer, their items and prices.

A sale marked PENDING means the payment hasn't gone through yet. See Pending payments.
