Certainly! Our marketplace serves as a platform that facilitates connections between you and potential customers. It provides an easy and efficient way for customers to find and connect with bakers like yourself. Through our platform, customers can browse through listings, view your offerings, and place orders directly with you. It’s all about creating a seamless and convenient experience for both parties involved.
Bakers can showcase their work, display their specialties, and provide important details such as pricing and availability. Customers, on the other hand, can browse through these profiles, view previous work, and communicate their specific requirements to the bakers. This ensures that both parties have a clear understanding of expectations and can connect effectively. We believe that transparency and open communication are key to building successful relationships between bakers and customers.
We understand that life can get busy, and as a baker, you may have days where you are already fully booked or have personal engagements. That’s why our marketplace is designed to give you full control over your availability. With our calendar feature, you can easily block off specific dates or time slots when you are not available to take orders. This way, customers will only be able to select dates and times that align with your schedule. We believe in empowering you to manage your business effectively while still catering to your personal commitments. Your availability and flexibility are important to us, and we strive to provide a platform that supports your needs.
We completely understand and value the importance of delivery in the baking business. We want both bakers and customers to have full ownership and control over this aspect of their orders. As a baker, you have the flexibility to determine the delivery options that work best for you and your customers. Whether you offer pickup or local delivery within a certain radius or both (paid or free), you can clearly communicate these options to your customers. This ensures transparency and allows customers to choose the most convenient delivery method for them. We believe that by giving bakers the ability to customize their delivery options, we can create a seamless and satisfying experience for both parties involved.
There is no limit on the number of products you can offer as a baker. We encourage you to showcase your wide range of delicious baked goods and provide customers with a variety of choices. Whether it’s cakes, pastries, cookies, or anything, you can offer as many products as you wish to meet the diverse tastes and preferences of your customers. Our platform is designed to support and showcase your extensive product offerings, helping you attract more customers and grow your business. So, feel free to let your creativity shine and offer as many delightful treats as you desire.
Our marketplace provides a secure and convenient way for handling payments and transactions. When a customer places an order with you, they will have the option to make payment directly through our platform. We utilize trusted payment gateways to ensure the safety of transactions.
Once a payment is made, the funds will be securely held until the order is successfully delivered or picked up by the customer. This system helps protect both you as the baker and the customer, ensuring a smooth and reliable payment process.
Once the transaction is completed, you will receive the payment directly into your designated account. We strive to make the payment process as seamless as possible, allowing you to focus on what you do best – baking delicious treats!

You can start by uploading high-quality images of your bakery, products, and any other relevant visuals that highlight your unique offerings. Additionally, you can write a compelling and informative description about your bakery. Remember, your profile serves as a digital representation of your bakery, so it’s important to make it visually appealing and engaging.
Our platform supports both kinds of products – signature creations and also custom creations with unique flavors, designs, shapes, etc. We understand that customization may not be supported by every baker, and that’s why it is your choice to specify this.
Furthermore, being transparent about the dietary restrictions you are able to cater to is incredibly valuable for customers with specific dietary needs. By providing this information, you can attract those who are seeking baked goods that align with their dietary requirements, whether it’s egg-less, gluten-free or Keto or any other dietary restriction. It’s also helpful to mention if there are any additional charges for accommodating these dietary restrictions, ensuring that customers are aware of any potential extra costs upfront. By offering clear and specific information about customization options and dietary restrictions, you create a more seamless ordering experience for your customers. They can confidently choose from your menu knowing what options are available to them and how it aligns with their preferences.
