For bakeries & home bakers
A WhatsApp store built for bakeries
Show your cakes, breads and pastries in one link. Customers choose what they want and send a complete order to your WhatsApp — no more scrolling through photo albums and DMs.
Home bakers and small bakeries live on WhatsApp orders. WAStore gives you a proper catalog for your bakes, with prices, options and photos, and turns every enquiry into a clean order in your chat — free for up to 50 products.
Why bakeries do well selling on WhatsApp
Most bakery sales are local, personal and planned ahead — a birthday cake for Saturday, a dozen sourdough loaves for a market stall, a tray of brownies for an office. Those conversations already happen on WhatsApp, where customers can ask about flavours, allergens and pickup times and get an answer in minutes. The problem is not the chat; it is everything around it — re-sending the same price list, working out totals by hand, and losing an order in a busy thread.
A WhatsApp store fixes that without changing how you actually sell. Your bakes sit in one link with photos, prices and options. A customer browses, picks a cake size or a bread bundle, adds a note for the message on top, and sends you a formatted order. You reply to confirm the date and take a deposit — exactly as you do now, just without the back-and-forth.
Why WAStore fits a bakery
Custom-order friendly — add notes fields for flavours, the message on the cake and pickup dates
Orders arrive on WhatsApp with items, quantities and the customer's details filled in
Your bakery shows up on Google when people search for cakes or bread in your area
Update your menu from your phone between batches — sold-out items hide automatically
Take deposits your way — a payment link, bank transfer or cash on pickup, with no platform fee
Set a minimum notice period so last-minute custom-cake requests don't catch you out
Common bakery headaches, solved
Customers ask "how much is a 2-tier cake?" ten times a day.
List each cake size as its own product with the price shown. The catalog answers before anyone messages you.
A rush order comes in for tomorrow and you're already full.
Set a minimum notice period and mark pre-order items clearly, so custom cakes need the lead time you actually need.
You sell out of a bake but orders keep coming.
Turn on stock tracking; sold-out items hide or show as unavailable until you restock.

Tips to get more bakery orders
- Photograph bakes in natural light on a plain background — it makes the whole catalog look professional.
- Show a price for every size. "DM for price" loses buyers who are comparing options.
- Add a clear cut-off ("order by Thursday 6pm for weekend pickup") in your store info and on custom-cake products.
- Create a seasonal category for holidays and take it down afterwards — it signals you're active and current.
- Put a QR code linking to your store on your packaging and market-stall signage.
Frequently asked questions
Can customers order a custom cake?
Yes. Add a custom-cake product with a notes field for flavour, size and the message on top, plus your minimum notice. The details come through on WhatsApp so you can confirm and quote.
How do people pay?
Payment is arranged in the WhatsApp chat — a deposit link, bank transfer or cash on pickup, whatever you already use. WAStore never touches the money and takes no fee.
Is it really free for a home bakery?
Yes. The Free plan covers up to 50 products and unlimited orders. Most home bakers never need more; Pro is there if your menu grows.
Do I need a website or WhatsApp Business?
Neither. WAStore hosts the store for you, and it works with any WhatsApp number, regular or Business.
Can I limit how many cakes I take per weekend?
Yes. Use stock tracking to cap the number of slots for a product, or note your weekly capacity in the store info. Once the slots are gone, the item shows as unavailable.
How do I handle allergens?
Add allergen information to each product description, and a general note in your store info. Customers see it before ordering and can flag requirements in the order message.
Can I show pickup and delivery options?
Yes. State your pickup address, hours and any delivery area or fee in the store info. The customer confirms their choice in the WhatsApp order.
If you already take cake and bread orders on WhatsApp, a WAStore is just the missing piece — a catalog that does the repetitive part for you, so you spend your time baking and confirming, not copying and pasting price lists.
