Use Cases
Neighborhood sales
Sprawling neighborhood sales can be a lot of fun to shop, but challenging to manage from the ground. Printing, laminating and posting Yardaroo Self-Checkout codes throughout the sale ground can help lower stress for sellers and provide a convenient checkout experience for your customers. Open-ended codes can really shine here, allowing your current customer to enter the amount owed after negotiating a price during checkout while you take care of your next customer.
Estate sales/Tag sales
Estate sales can be BIG. Really big. And the larger the sale, the more challenging it is to manage your checkout process. Adding Yardaroo Self-Checkout codes to your estate sale can be a game-changer, allowing your helpers to spend more time assisting customers and less time cashing them out. Placing fixed-price Self-Checkout codes next to specific items can help move valuable items faster, while open-ended codes will help prevent bottlenecks and mitigate the challenges of staff shortages, long lines and sprawling estates.
Side-of-the-road produce stands
Everyone loves fresh produce! Side-of-the-road fruit and veggie stands, fresh farm eggs, honey and more are readily available throughout the growing seasons. You already accept cash in your cashbox. Why not accept credit/debit cards, too? Create fixed-price codes for specific items, and open-ended codes so customers can tally what the owe and enter an amount during checkout. Print your self-checkout codes, laminate them and tack them to your roadside stand.
Firewood
Are you selling firewood by the side of the road? You’re already accepting cash, why not accept credit/debit cards, too? Create fixed-price codes for single bundles, multiple bundles, or open-ended codes and let your customer enter the amount owed during checkout. Print your self-checkout codes, laminate them and tack them to your firewood stand.
