Your total sales tell you how a craft show went. They don't tell you which products carried it. This short is the quick version: count your stock before and after a show, and FairKeep shows what sold and what it brought in. The full walkthrough post on the FairKeep inventory counter goes deeper.
The Quick Version
- Count before you leave. Record what you're taking to the show.
- Count when you get home. Record what's left.
- Let FairKeep do the math. It works out what sold and what it earned, product by product.
Why Product by Product Matters
Knowing what each product earned at each show helps with the next round of making and packing. If one item keeps selling at outdoor markets and another only moves at holiday shows, you can pack for that instead of hauling the same boxes everywhere. If you sell through a register, the count is also a handy cross-check against your sales report.
Plan note: the FairKeep inventory counter is on the Maker and Vendor plans. If you just want a quick counter with no account, there's InvCount, a free inventory counter with no signup needed.

FairKeep is free to start and doesn't ask for a credit card, so you can try FairKeep with your own shows. If you haven't seen the app before, the two-minute tour of FairKeep covers the dashboard, events, applications, calendar, packing list, reports and integrations in one pass, and my FairKeep overview has the bigger picture. For the free calculators and tools that sit alongside it, see the VendorTools hub.
