Home bakers: take cake orders from Instagram DMs without the DM part
How it works day to day
Someone sees your cakes on Instagram, taps the link in your bio, picks a flavor and a pickup day, and pays. No back-and-forth in DMs, no Venmo screenshot, no lost order in your camera roll.
Your market-stall table and your order page sell from the same count — sell the last lemon loaf at the market and the website stops offering it.
What your page does
- Takes real orders for custom cakes, cookie boxes, weekly bread drops — buyers pay on the web with no app and no account.
- Books time with a calendar that shows what is actually open.
- Answers questions in a built-in chat, so your customer conversations stop living in DMs.
- Takes cards in person — Tap to Pay on iPhone means the phone you already own is the card reader.
- Keeps one count across in-person and online, so nothing sells twice.
What it costs
Online orders: 3.5% + 30¢ all-in — card processing is already inside that number, not on top of it.
In person: 0.5% on top of standard card processing.
Cash sales at the register: free.
Compare that with $29–$99/month link-in-bio subscriptions, or free tiers that keep 9–12% of every sale. The math is on the comparison pages.
When Tavvi isn’t the pick
If you run a full premise operation — a dining room with servers, a kitchen display rail, table maps — you are shopping for restaurant POS, and Toast or Square for Restaurants will fit better. Tavvi is built for one person selling real work from wherever they are.
