KADEPAY FOR TRADE SHOW & EXPO EXHIBITORS
The aisle is packed, the line at your table is three deep and your best rep is in the middle of a demo. KadePay lets your team take cards with Tap to Pay on compatible phones or a printed QR, collect deposits on orders that ship later, and keep every sale in one place after the show.
Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 per month. Usage and payment fees apply.
Sound familiar?
Exhibitors pay for the space, the travel and the shipping long before the doors open. These are the payment moments that decide whether the show pays for itself, and how KadePay handles each one at the booth.
Your product demo is drawing a crowd, two buyers are ready to pay, and the only reader is in the back pocket of the rep on break.
With KadePay
Every staff member with a compatible phone and the KadePay app can take Tap to Pay after payment setup. On Team or Pro, give each one their own login and permissions.
Tap to Pay and card readersA boutique owner orders 48 units for spring and promises to pay on delivery. By March she has forgotten the show and the order.
With KadePay
Take a wholesale order deposit at the booth with a link or Tap to Pay, then send the balance as a bill with the order sheet attached when it ships. A card authorization makes that second charge simple.
Payment links and QR codesAttendees want the show price but need to check with a partner first, and by Monday nobody remembers which price you promised.
With KadePay
Offer the deal as a vanishing bill on Team or Pro: a payment link that expires when the show closes. Attendees scan the QR on your sign and pay before the deadline.
Vanishing billsThree days of sales come back as card slips, a cash envelope and a dozen Venmo notifications, and your bookkeeper wants it reconciled by Friday.
With KadePay
Card, wallet and QR payments land in one Transactions list, Venmo and Zelle payments you record sit alongside them, and you can download the full show for your bookkeeper.
Ways to get paidAt the home show, a couple wants an in-home consultation for their patio. Scheduling it from a crowded booth means a scribbled date and a phone call nobody returns.
With KadePay
Show your booking link as a QR on the table. They request a consultation time from their own phone, you confirm it after the show, and a fixed-amount link can take a deposit if your policy calls for one.
Appointment bookingHow it fits your week
Ask Kady to draft your show special and a deposit link for wholesale orders, then review and save them. Tape a single Store Pay Direct QR to the booth counter.
Staff take cards with Tap to Pay on compatible phones, buyers scan the QR to pay the agreed amount, and you confirm each one in Transactions.
Wholesale buyers pay a deposit at the booth and authorize their card. When the order ships, you send the balance bill with the packing list attached.
Refund a return, send any bills that are still open and download every show payment for your bookkeeper in one file.
Every way your customers pay
Availability depends on your account setup and eligibility. You confirm Venmo and Zelle payments after checking they arrived.
Built in
Each tool writes to the same customer record, from the first booking request to the receipt.
KadePay for trade show vendors
A common exhibitor question is simple: how do I accept credit cards at a trade show without slowing the booth down? With KadePay, the answer is your team's own phones. Tap to Pay on a compatible phone takes contactless cards, and a printed QR lets buyers pay from their own phone while your staff keeps talking.
Expo vendor payments rarely end at the booth. Wholesale orders, custom builds and pre-orders often ship weeks later, so a deposit at the show and a bill with the order sheet attached when it ships keeps the sale from cooling off. A buyer who authorizes a card on file makes that second charge a few taps.
Consumer shows, from home and garden expos to bridal fairs, bring a different buyer. A homeowner who wants an in-home visit can request a time through your booking link right at the convention booth, and you confirm it once you are back at the office.
KadePay needs a data connection to take payments, so check signal at the venue and bring a charger. It does not scan badges or collect leads; keep your lead tool for that and use KadePay for the money.
CLEAR ANSWERS
One your whole team can use from their own phones without a long setup. KadePay gives you Tap to Pay on compatible phones, a printed QR for the booth, deposit links for orders that ship later and staff logins on Team or Pro.
No. Tap to Pay works on a compatible iPhone or Android phone with the KadePay app once payment setup is complete. Some exhibitors still buy a card reader for chip cards or a counter setup, and those are available to purchase.
Take the deposit at the booth with Tap to Pay or a link that asks for the ship-to address. Have the buyer authorize their card, then charge or bill the balance when the order ships, with the packing list attached.
Yes. Each staff member uses the KadePay app on their own compatible phone. On Team or Pro, add them as team members with permissions, and every payment shows under your business in one Transactions list.
No. KadePay does not scan badges or capture leads, so use your show's lead retrieval tool for that. KadePay handles the money: Tap to Pay, QR payments, deposits, bills, refunds and transaction downloads.
Pay-As-You-Go starts at $0 monthly. Payment and usage fees apply. Team at $10 per month adds staff logins and vanishing bills for show deals, and Pro is $35 per month. Plan details live on the pricing page.
