About The Garage Sale App
Run a multi-seller garage sale like a pro. Track sales per seller, scan barcodes, split payments, issue refunds, and print receipts, all from your phone. New in v2.0: your sale syncs across your own devices with iCloud, and Multi-Cashier Sales let several people ring up the same sale at once from their own iPhones. Also great for flea & farmers markets. - Multi-Cashier Sales (Pro) Run one sale across several iPhones. One device hosts and the others join by scanning a QR code. Sellers, inventory, settings, and sales stay in sync live, and adding an item to a cart reserves its stock so two cashiers can't sell the same thing twice. Joining cashiers choose to replace their own data with the host's sale or keep it untouched for the session. Drop your connection and the app reconnects and catches up. Requires Pro on every device. - iCloud Sync Sellers, inventory, transactions, and settings sync automatically across your own devices through iCloud. Build your inventory on an iPad, run the sale on your iPhone. - Multi-Seller Support Set up as many color-coded sellers (parties) as you need before the sale (free version limited to 2 parties and 15 inventory items). Every cart item is attributed to a specific seller. Checkout gives you a clear per-seller breakdown, and Reports shows each seller's revenue, tax owed, and full transaction history. - Voice Mode (Pro) Ring up items hands-free while the buyer waits. Tap the microphone and say something like "Mary, three t-shirts two dollars, John, one lamp five dollars" and the items land in the cart, attributed to the right seller at the right price. - Refunds Issue item-by-item refunds on any past sale. Scan the QR code on a printed receipt or find the sale in history. Each refunded item is logged and flows through to seller totals and reports. - Close Out / Daily Reports Tap "Close Out" to snapshot the day's sales, reset the cash box, and start fresh without erasing history. Each period gets its own report with per-seller breakdowns, exportable as PDF. - Barcode Scanning Point your camera at any UPC barcode to pull up a registered item and add it to the cart. Works in sale mode and inventory registration. - Inventory Management Register items with a name, price, UPC barcode, and seller. Optional per-item settings: * Stock tracking: decrement stock on sale, block out-of-stock items * Quick buttons: one-tap add on the sale screen for frequently sold items * Non-taxable flag: exempt an item from sales tax * Category: filter your quick buttons * Select seller at sale time: when multiple sellers offer the same item * Keywords: alternate search terms for spoken or typed synonyms Inventory Templates let you save reusable item sets to populate a new sale fast. - Flexible Payments & Split Payments Record cash alongside custom payment labels you define (e.g. Venmo, PayPal, Square, check). The Garage Sale App does not process payments and connects to no payment gateway. You collect money however the buyer wants to pay, then log the method and amount. A single sale can be split across methods, with change due computed from cash. - Receipts Generate an itemized paper-style receipt showing each item, its seller, subtotal, tax, total, and change due, with customizable header and footer. Email it or print wirelessly to any AirPrint printer. Every receipt carries a QR code for quick refund lookup. - Sales Tax Set a tax rate, toggle tax globally, and mark individual items non-taxable. Checkout shows subtotal, taxable subtotal, tax, and total, and Reports apportions tax to each seller based only on their taxable sales. - Reports A real-time summary of the day's sales: total revenue, tax collected, and a printable per-seller breakdown with expandable transaction history. A cash box tracker shows your starting balance and running cash total. Export as JSON.

What’s new
Version 2.0.0 · Updated September 8, 2026
NEW IN VERSION 2.0.0: Multi-Cashier Sales (Pro) - Run one sale across several iPhones with a different person on each. One device hosts the sale; the others join by scanning a QR code or entering the join code. - Sellers, inventory, settings, and completed sales stay in sync live. Adding an item to a cart reserves its stock, so two cashiers can't sell the same item twice. - Cashiers choose whether to work from the host's sale data or leave their own device's data untouched for the session. - Dropped signal? The app rejoins the session and catches up on anything it missed. Requires Pro on the host and every cashier device. iCloud Sync - Your data (sellers, inventory, transactions, and settings) now syncs automatically across your own devices through iCloud. Devices signed in to the same iCloud account stay in sync on their own, with no multi-cashier session needed. The Parties Tab Is Now "People" - Same sellers and parties you already had, plus the new Multi-Cashier controls for hosting and joining a sale. Quick Buttons By Default - The sale screen now opens on your quick buttons instead of the keypad. Prefer the keypad? Switch it back in Settings. Also in this release - Bug fixes and polish throughout.
