Sell on the Go app for iOS
The Sell on the Go app from Ecwid is a simplified version of the Ecwid Ecommerce mobile app for iOS. The app is designed to sell in person through avenues such as fairs, shows, conferences, or cash on delivery orders. With the app, you can scan products and process orders in seconds. The app is synchronized with your Ecwid store, so your catalog with the inventory control is always in your pocket which helps you avoid overselling and promote overstocked items.

Sending receipts to customers

To send a receipt to a customer:
- After you place an order, tap Email receipt.
- Add the customer’s name and contact information, or select a customer from the list.
- Tap Email receipt to send the receipt.
Customer's email and name will be saved in My Sales → Customers in your Ecwid admin. You can use these data later to communicate with the client.
