Crypto payments for craft show vendors

Craft show vendor accepting a mobile payment as a customer scans a QR code at a handmade goods booth

Craft shows are high-traffic, low-connectivity environments. You're sharing bandwidth with hundreds of other vendors and thousands of shoppers, there's no dedicated merchant account, and everything you bring has to fit in a tote bag. A static QR card printed the night before works fine here. The wallet runs on your phone, it displays offline, and it confirms on whatever signal you can get. The guides below walk through wallet selection for a booth setup, the laminated card workflow, connectivity fallbacks, and the end-of-day routine.
