1. Set Up an Online Order Form

Imagine it’s the busiest time of the year for your bakery, and instead of being overwhelmed by DMs, emails, and scribbled notes, all your orders are organized and easy to manage. How? By using an online order form! This lets your customers place their orders directly, with all the options and customizations laid out clearly. Not only does this save you tons of time, but it also gives your customers a smooth, professional experience that will keep them coming back.

Another option is to have an online order request form. The difference here is that you get to accept or decline the request before any payments are made. My form is a request form because I want to make sure I have availability for each order before accepting a payment for it.

2. Include Your Policies Right in the Form Clarity is key!

Make sure your customers know all the important details upfront—whether it’s your cancellation policy, refund terms, or delivery guidelines. Including these in your order form avoids confusion later and gives your customers confidence in how you do business. When expectations are clear from the start, both you and your customers can enjoy a hassle-free experience. Once you have policies in place, it is crucial that you stick to them. Trust me, this will make your life so much easier!

3. Set Up Online Payments

Forget chasing payments or handling cash! Integrating a secure online payment system is a total game-changer. It makes it easier for your customers to pay, reduces delays, and gives you peace of mind. Pick a payment platform that’s reliable and protects your customers’ info, and watch how much simpler your checkout process becomes.

4. Share Your Form Link and Set Up Auto-Replies

You’ve got the form and the payment system—now it’s time to make sure everyone knows how easy it is to order from you! Share your order form link across your social media platforms. Let your followers know it’s just a click away. And don’t forget to set up auto-replies for frequently asked questions or order confirmations. This way, you don’t have to spend your time answering the same questions, and your customers get quick responses.
