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.

Your 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.
