Quail App Instructions and Login Information
Artists at Inspired Artisan Market & Studio can use Quail to review and track sales in the store from their phone or computer.
Quail is meant to act as a Point of Sale System for galleries and consignment stores that updates vendors when they have sold an item in the store and helps them to keep track of their earnings. It is also a great tool for filing taxes since it allows artists to print sales sheets for each month/year.
Since Quail does not quite offer all of the necessary systems to run the Inspired Artisan Market solely through the Quail App, the store will still be using the original POS for running purchases and collecting sales from customers, but that day’s sales will be in-putted into the Quail system at the end of each day so that artists can keep track of their sales. The app will not replace the end of month sales sheets put out by Inspired, but if you want or need information about how your items are selling in the store, the Quail App will be the quickest and most up to date means of finding that information. Below are instructions on how to find and set-up your Vendor Account and an Overview of the Apps capabilities.
Installing the Quail App
In either the Google Play or Apple Store, locate the Quail App Once you have located the App, hit the ‘install’ button and agree to any pop up that may come up that will allow the app to download and run efficiently on your device. Once the installation is complete, open up the App for the first time. Below is a picture of what the main screen will display.
Logging in for the first time
You will need to set-up your email and password before logging in to the App, so click on the ‘Tap Here For Help’ button at the bottom of the home screen and it will redirect you to a web page in your device’s preferred browser.
​
On the next page, you will need to click on ‘I’ve Never Set A Password’. This will send you to the ‘reset password’ web page. There you will input the email address that is connected with your merchant account on file here at Inspired.
Once you have put in the email address, check your inbox for a reset password email from Quail. Follow the instructions provided by the email and save the password somewhere safe. Now you can go back to the original Quail App and login as normal.
Navigating the Quail App
In the App, it will show you month to month sales comparisons for the store, how much you have sold so far this week/month/year, how much to expect in your next sales check, what sales taxes have been collected on your behalf (Inspired still takes care of sending these to the state, but it is good for you to have the information for reference if you should ever need it). The app will alert you when you have made a sale in the store as well.
The app also allows you to know what items you have sold so that you can keep track of the popular items and see what items are trending. Below are pictures from the account I set up for Live Love Dye, Co.
Viewing Quail without the mobile app
If you don’t have a smartphone, you can still check in on your sales online at app.quailhq.com. Click on ‘Login As Vendor’ and type in your email & password.
​
Moving forward, you will also receive weekly sales recap emails, where you can view items sold, revenue totals, and more.
