We Promote Your Market — For Free
RootStall actively markets to buyers across Oahu — through the app and with a street team reaching tourists and locals in high-traffic areas. Your market gets that reach at no cost to you.
Your Vendors Get Discovered 24/7
Your vendors only shine on market day. RootStall gives them a storefront that buyers can browse anytime — keeping your market top-of-mind between events.
You Stay in Full Control
You run your market. You approve your vendors. You manage check-ins. RootStall is a tool in your hands — not a replacement for anything you do.
Real Data, Not Guesswork
Know exactly who checked in, spot no-shows, and see how many buyers found you through the app. Make decisions with real numbers.
Completely Free
No fees. No subscriptions. No catches. We make money from optional paid ads — vendors can pay for featured spots in the app. Never from you or your market.
