Make a Website for Baking: $20 a Month and 0% Cut (2026)
A clear path to a baking website that takes orders and gets you paid, without a cut of your sales.
On this page
What to remember
- Your shop has three jobs: show the food, take the order, and get you paid.
- A flat $20 a month is easy to test against one real order.
- Use your own Stripe or Square account so card money goes to you.
- Write your pickup, delivery, and order cutoff rules before you share the link.
You do not need a developer or a big setup day. This guide shows what to put on the page, what the shop costs, and how to make a website for baking that turns a text message into a paid order.
What should your baking website do first?
Start with the order, not the design. A customer should see what you sell, pick a size or a dozen, and pay without sending you five messages. Put your best photo first, then the price, then the pickup window. If you sell at a market, add the next market date at the top.
Your shop also needs a clear way to reach you. Add a phone number or a message button, and say how fast you reply. Keep the menu short at first. A small list you can bake well beats a long list that makes you rush. For a deeper setup walkthrough, see create my own website for baking.
Write the description like you would say it at the market table. Name the flavor, the size, and who it is for. Skip words like artisan if your buyer would not use them. A clear line like 12 chocolate cupcakes, ready Friday, does more work than a long story.
What does a baking website cost each month?
Brevl is one flat $20 a month with no cut of your sales. The 30 day free trial does not ask for a card. You take card payments through your own Stripe or Square account, plus Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, and cash. That keeps the shop cost separate from your card account.
The $20 covers the shop, the order page, and the tools to cost your recipes. It does not cover your ingredients, your packaging, or your time. Those are your costs, and they belong in your price. A shop that hides those costs will make every sale feel busy but not paid.
For example, take one order of 24 mini cupcakes at $3 each. That is $72 in sales. Put the $20 monthly Brevl fee against that order. If your ingredients and your pay for that order come to $30, the margin after ingredients, labor, and overhead is $22. With four orders like it, the $20 is spread across $288 in sales, and the same $30 per order leaves $148 after all three.
How do you set up a baking website from your phone?
Set aside a quiet block and do it in this order. Do not pick colors first. Do not write an about page first. Get the name, the products, and the payment working, then make it pretty.
Pick the shop name and check it
Say the name out loud, search it, and check the web address before you print labels. A name you cannot get as a web address will cost you later.
Add a short list of products
Use one clear photo per item, a short description, and a price. Start with what you sell most, not your whole menu.
Set pickup and payment
Choose pickup days, order cutoff, and the payment types you accept. Connect your own Stripe or Square account for cards.
Test one order on your phone
Place a real order from your phone. Check the photos, the price, the confirmation, and the pickup note.
Share the link and ask for one order
Send it to people who already buy from you. Ask them to order through the shop, not by text.
What should you check before you commit?
Check the total cost against one order. If the shop costs $20 a month, you need to know how many orders cover it. Check the payment types you need and whether you can use your own Stripe or Square account. Check that the shop works on your phone, because that is where you will answer messages.
Also check the name before you pay for anything. A name that is hard to spell will cost you orders. Read good name for home baking business before you buy a web address or print stickers. If you want the free path first, read free website for baking business and compare what $0 really gets you.
If you already sell on another shop, ask what moves over. Brevl moves your old products, photos, reviews, and dates. That saves you from rebuilding every listing by hand. Check the move before you cancel the old shop, so you do not lose an order in the gap.
How do you turn the website into orders?
Put the link everywhere you already talk to customers. Add it to your text reply, your market sign, your labels, and your social posts. Do not wait for a perfect shop. One clear link and one clear order button will do more than a fancy page with no traffic.
Ask for the order in the same message. For example, send a photo of today’s bake with the shop link and the pickup window. Then follow up once. For more free ways to get the link in front of buyers, read how to promote home baking business.
Set an order cutoff that protects your sleep. Say a day for Friday pickup, or a clear lead time for a custom cake. Put the cutoff on the order page and in the confirmation. A clear cutoff stops the 9 pm text that asks for tomorrow morning.

Common questions
Do I need a computer to make a baking website?
No. Brevl works on a computer and on a phone. It is a full desktop workspace, not a phone only app. You can set up the shop from your phone, then use a computer for bigger edits like photos and menu changes.
Can I take card payments through my own account?
Yes. Brevl takes card payments through your own Stripe or Square account. You can also take Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, and cash. That keeps the shop separate from your card account, and the money goes to the account you already use.
What happens to my old shop when I move?
Brevl moves your old shop over for you. That includes products, photos, reviews, and dates. Ask for the move before you cancel the old shop. Then check that every product and price is right before you share the new link with customers.
How much does Brevl cost after the free trial?
Brevl is $20 a month after the 30 day free trial. There is no cut of your sales, so you keep 100% of each order. The trial does not ask for a card. You can test one real order before you pay anything.
