Get the most out of your MyCakeShed storefront
A quick tour of the features that help your shop convert visitors into orders — and the ones bakers most often forget to switch on.
4 min readUpdated August 2026Your storefront does more than list products. A few minutes setting these up makes your shop look more professional and helps more visitors actually place an order.
Set your shop up to convert
- Brand your shop under Store design — add your logo, banner and colours so your page feels like yours.
- Write a short, friendly description of who you are and what you bake. People buy from people.
- Add a clear photo and price to every product. Items with photos get ordered far more often.
- Keep your opening/collection times and shop status accurate so customers know when they can order.
Tools worth switching on
- Deals — bundle products or offer a discount to nudge larger orders.
- The poster maker on your Dashboard — a printable, QR-coded poster for your shed (see "Turn passers-by into orders").
- Notifications — so you never miss a new order or message.
- Messages — reply quickly; fast replies win orders and build trust.
Preview your shop from a customer's point of view using the "Preview shop" link at the top of the dashboard. If anything looks unfinished to you, it will to them too.
