What Are e-SwapMeet Inventory Cards?
Inventory cards are printable grid sheets that help vendors photograph many products at once—without needing individual photos for every item.
Each square represents one product listing. Instead of uploading dozens of images, you can upload one clear photo and reference each item by its grid label (for example: A1, B3, D2).
This system is ideal for:
- Swap meet vendors with large tables
- Sellers with rotating or seasonal inventory
- Vendors who want fast uploads without extra work
How to Use e-SwapMeet Inventory Cards Step by Step
1. Print the Card
- Choose the grid density that fits your inventory (larger items = fewer squares).
- Use portrait or landscape—whichever best matches your table layout.
2. Lay Out Your Products
- Place one product per square.
- Keep labels visible at the top and side (A–F, 1–6).
3. Take One Clear Photo
- Stand directly above the table if possible.
- Ensure labels are readable and lighting is even.
4. Create Listings
- Upload the photo once.
- In each product description, reference its grid location (example: “Item shown in position C4.”).
5. Reuse the Same Card
If your inventory changes, you can continue using the same grid labels. Optionally, note identifiers like “Set 1”, “Set 2”, or “Page A” in your product description if needed.
