Castiron alternative
A Castiron alternative for taking bakery pre-orders.
Castiron's website, castiron.me, no longer shows the Castiron app. If you sold through it, you need a new place to take orders. BakeryFlow is a pre-order app for home bakers: a menu, one storefront link, pickup windows, and a bake list.
Start a new storefront, set your menu and pickup times, and share one link with your customers.
What to set up first
- Your menu: add each item with a price and a quantity limit.
- Pickup: choose your pickup windows and locations.
- Payment: let customers pay by card, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal, cash, or another method you set.
- Your link: text it, post it, or put it in your Instagram bio.
How BakeryFlow takes orders
You open a drop, which is the sale. Customers order from your web storefront and pick a pickup window. They don't need an app. You use the baker app on iOS or Android, and bake day is when you make what sold.
What it costs
BakeryFlow is $6.99/month or $59.99/year after a 1-month free trial. There is no BakeryFlow per-order fee. Card orders carry Stripe's fees.
