FairKeep is the event and income tracker for people who sell at craft fairs, markets and pop-ups. This two-minute video walks through the whole app on a demo account for a made-up candle company, so you can see what it does before you sign up.

Who It's For
If you sell at more than a handful of shows a year, you probably have event dates in one place, income and expenses in a spreadsheet, and applications on sticky notes. FairKeep puts all of that in one place. It isn't only for craft fairs: it works for farmers markets, pop-ups, flea markets, holiday bazaars and any other event where you set up a booth and sell. Each show gets its dates and hours, booth fee, income and costs, and from there FairKeep works out the net and income per hour so you can see which shows are really paying off.
Going Deeper
Each of those areas has its own short how-to video, and I've linked the blog posts for them above. The best place to start is how to track a craft fair, because every other feature builds on a show being logged with its hours, booth fee, income and costs.
FairKeep is free to start and doesn't ask for a credit card, so you can open an account and log your next show. The how-to guides on the FairKeep site cover each feature step by step. For the bigger picture, see my FairKeep overview and the VendorTools hub of free vendor tools.
