Problems with DM orders
- You become the help desk for every customer
- Easy to lose orders in the thread
- No automatic sell-out when you hit capacity
- Payment details get copy-pasted every time
The BakeryFlow flow
- Post your storefront link in bio and Stories
- Customers order from the menu and you get notified
- Caps close items when you are sold out
- Prep list tells you what to bake
Tell your regulars once
Post a Story: "Ordering moves to the link in my bio. Same menu, easier for both of us." Most customers prefer not DMing anyway.
FAQ
- Can I still take custom requests?
- Yes. Handle one-offs by DM, but run your standard menu through the storefront.
- What about customers without Instagram?
- Text or email your storefront link. It works in any browser.
