I have a lot of experience with PayPal. They take about 3% of sales. That said, many people, myself included, rarely carry cash. Paypal does offer a reader, but, in many cases you can just have people log into their paypal accounts and pay you with something called paypalme.

 

Be prepared to have a samples tray for any food items. If you bring jams, also being some saltines to serve them on.

 

In terms of the booth, be prepared for wind. It might not happen, but best to be prepared if it does. Don't forget to bring a couple of chairs, and a cooler for your lunch and some drinks.

 

One idea you might try is to make up some tins of cookies. People can then buy them and give as gifts, maybe even tell people they made them themselves. Good luck!

I will keep paypal as a back-up option, although not everyone has an account.

 

Samples... I was thinking of getting little taster spoons like these. But I don't really want to spend close to $10 for a bunch of plastic spoons...  Also it's a lot of waste. Maybe something like these little wood ones (at least they are compostable). More research needed...

 

Good ideas about the chairs, cooler, etc.
