Farmers market fee and payment software for closeout-ready operations
Market money is operational, not just accounting. Teams need to know which fees apply, which vendors have balances, what was paid, what needs review, and how session closeout should be reported.
The Market Manager supports fee rules, tiered calculations, surcharges, exemptions, rounding, fee snapshots, billing runs, ledger entries, payments, receipts, settlements, carry-forward balances, reconciliation, and session closeout workflows.

02
Less weekly cleanup
The team can see readiness, gaps, assignments, and closeout work without rebuilding the story in spreadsheets.
03
Better market decisions
Operational context carries from intake to market day so managers can act before small problems become urgent.
Operating workflow
A market workflow page, not another keyword page.
Each part of the page maps to a real operating decision: what replaces the spreadsheet stack, how the team works through the week, what stays connected, and what managers should measure.
01
Fee rules and calculators
Markets rarely use one simple fee for every vendor. The Market Manager supports fee calculation workflows including tiered fee calculators, fee rules, surcharges, exemptions, rounding, and fee snapshots so the team can review money consistently.
02
Billing runs and ledgers
A billing run should create a trusted record the team can review. The Market Manager supports billing runs, ledger entries, vendor balances, payment records, and receipts so market money is not reconstructed from scattered notes.
03
Settlements and carry-forward balances
When balances are not resolved in one session, the team needs an honest carry-forward process. The Market Manager supports settlement and carry-forward workflows so unpaid balances and adjustments can remain visible.
04
POS sales review and reconciliation
Some markets need to review sales-related activity or reconcile point-of-sale imports without pretending the market management system is a full payment processor. The Market Manager supports POS sales event review, reconciliation, and closeout context where configured.
05
Closeout and reporting
Fees and payments matter most when they tie back to market-day reality. The Market Manager connects financial posture to sessions, vendors, reports, benefit-program inputs, closeout approvals, exports, and follow-up.
06
Where fee and payment software fits
The Market Manager should be described as market fee, billing, payment tracking, reconciliation, and closeout software. It should not be described as a standalone payment processor unless a payment processor integration is specifically enabled and verified.
