The Calculator: Your Command Center

The calculator is where the magic happens. You’ll spend most of your time here during shows, handling sales, buys, and trades. Buys and trades are automatically added to your inventory when you complete a deal.

Selling Items

Three ways to add items to a sale:

  1. Manual entry (+ button) – you enter the items details
  2. Camera ID – snap a pic and use Magic ID to get the item’s details
  3. QR/barcode – scan a SnapSale QR code or a manufacturer’s barcode

Buying & Trading

Switch to the Buy/Trade tab when someone’s offering you items.

  1. Manual entry (+ button) – you enter the items details
  2. Camera ID – snap a pic and use Magic ID to get the item’s details

When buying or trading, the app automatically:

  • Calculates trade values against the Sell cart total
  • Updates your inventory when the transaction is complete
