Orders & drops

Quantity caps & sell-outs

Quantity caps protect you from overselling. When an item hits its limit, customers see it as sold out on your storefront. No awkward DMs to cancel orders.

Set a cap per item

When you add an item to a drop, enter the quantity limit: how many loaves, dozens, or boxes you can actually make. The storefront hides the item when that number is reached.

Plan from your oven, not optimism

  • Count batches. Two sheet pans of cookies might mean 4 dozen, not 10.
  • Leave a small buffer if you are new to drop volume.
  • Sold-out items create urgency for your next drop.

Lower a cap mid-drop

If you are running low on ingredients or time, edit the item in your drop and reduce the available quantity. It shows as sold out to new customers.

FAQ

What happens when something sells out?
New customers cannot add it to their cart. Existing orders are unchanged.
Can I leave quantities unlimited?
You can set a high cap, but we recommend a real limit so you never promise more than you can bake.
