In-person sales with QR tags
Most of your selling probably happens face to face, at a show, a market, or the shop door. Every piece you list gets a printable QR tag, so you can sell it on the spot and, if you like, drop the amount straight into your books. As always, the money changes hands between you and your buyer directly; BladeOS never touches it (see How payments work).
Print your tags
From Dashboard → Products you can print a full sheet of QR tags, one per piece. Cut them out and set them next to your knives on the table. Each tag points at that specific piece.
One QR, two audiences
The clever part is that a single tag behaves differently depending on who scans it, so you only ever print one.
- A buyer who scans lands on the public page for that knife, with its normal Buy button and all its details.
- When you scan the same tag while logged in, you see an owner toolbar instead, with the Record sale action.
Record a sale
Record sale is a deliberately lightweight action for a one-off piece. It flips the piece straight to sold, with none of the online-order or commission machinery in the way. When money changed hands, it can record the amount as income in your Financials, and because it is a direct sale, no commission is taken.
- Sold for cash or card at the table: enter the amount and it posts as income, dated today.
- A gift, a trade, or a piece you sold somewhere else: choose sold, no income, so the piece is marked sold without adding any money to your books.
Good to know
- Recording a sale is meant for one-off pieces. Ongoing custom orders belong in commissions, with their milestone payments.
- Recorded in-person income shows up alongside your other income in Financials, which is a paid feature.
- The QR tag is just a link to the public knife page, so anyone can scan it safely; only you, signed in, see the owner actions.
