Payments

Set up payment methods

You choose which payment methods to offer. Direct methods go straight to you with no BakeryFlow cut. Card checkout through Stripe is optional. You need at least one method turned on before you can publish a drop.

Which methods you'll see

  • United States: Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle.
  • Canada: Interac e-Transfer.
  • Both: PayPal, Cash, and Other (write your own instructions).
  • Your bakery's Country in Bakery Profile decides the list.

Card checkout with Stripe (optional)

In the Stripe row, tap Connect with Stripe and finish Stripe's setup. When the row says Connected, customers can pay by card on your storefront. Stripe charges its own card fees. BakeryFlow doesn't take a cut.

How payment works on an order

  • Card: the order is accepted when checkout completes.
  • Cash: the order is accepted right away and paid at pickup.
  • Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal, Interac, and Other: the order stays Pending until you tap Confirm Payment Received.

Why can't I publish my drop?
