Julie Broad (speaker) gives practical advice for selling books in person at events. She recommends using mobile payment apps (Stripe or Square) configured to send email receipts so sellers can follow up with buyers, and advises keeping cash on hand for change. She also suggests pricing books at round numbers to minimize the need to make change.

Stripe or Square are great ways to have a mobile payment app collecting money when you're doing these events, and you can set them up to have an email receipt that goes to the buyer and allows you to follow up on the purchase. And of course, if you're selling direct, you should have cash on hand for change. And think about that when you price your books too. It's probably easier to sell your book for a round number to avoid needing to make and give out a bunch of change.
