“I have loved Ludus for the past 7 years, and I will use them for the rest of my career”
Retail is Ludus’ in-person point-of-sale tool, designed for selling concessions, merchandise, flowers, T-shirts, programs, and more. It works through the Ludus mobile app and web dashboard, so you can manage on-site sales alongside ticketing and donations.
Retail is only used for in-person sales. If you want to sell merchandise or other items online, you can use Add-Ons or set up a Collection to offer those items in advance.
Retail transactions are charged 2.9% plus $0.30 per transaction. For example, if you sell 10 water bottles at $1 each in a single sale, the total fee would be $0.59. This fee is taken from the total payment and cannot be passed to the patron.
