Checklist: Pop‑Up Seller Essentials — Accessories, POS and Power (2026)

Hook: The right checklist cuts setup time in half

Successful pop‑ups are defined by the small decisions you make before the event. This checklist compiles accessories and practices that matter in 2026 — from power to printers to locker setups.

Core kit

• Modular shelving or foldable racks
• Compact thermal printer (PocketPrint 2.0 or equivalent)
• Two portable power stations for redundancy
• Label rolls and spare batteries
• Smart locker or secure tote

POS & payments

• Card reader with offline mode
• Order reconciliation app with proof‑of‑pickup receipts
• Clear signage for local pickups and returns

Operational procedures

1. Test pairing between printer and POS before the event.
2. Charge batteries to 90% and bring a spare.
3. Standardize label sizes and SKU placements.

Edge and recovery

Use DeployKit Edge templates for provisioning devices and ensure you have a simple recovery UX in the field. Reliable edge templates reduce time-to-provision as you scale nodes.
