Everything A Special Batch does
Most of this depends on how you sell. Switch on the parts that match your business and ignore the rest — you can run one model or all four at once.
Batches and order windows
Sell the way you actually bake: open orders on Monday, close them Thursday, bake Friday. Nothing sits on a shelf pretending to be in stock.
Order windows
Set the date and time orders open and close. The storefront opens and closes itself — no midnight edits.
A lineup per batch
Choose which products appear in each batch, and override the price just for that run.
Limits that hold
Cap the whole batch or any single item. When a limit is reached, the storefront stops accepting it.
Pickup points per batch
Attach pickup locations to a specific batch, each with its own instructions and order limit.
Preview before you publish
See the storefront exactly as customers will, while the batch is still a draft.
An always-open shop
For the things you keep on hand. A permanent catalogue that runs on stock counts instead of dates.
A permanent catalogue
Products stay listed between batches, with categories and a detail view for each one.
Live stock counts
Shoppers see “only 3 left” as it happens, and sold-out items stop accepting orders.
You cannot oversell
Stock is claimed inside the order itself, so two people checking out at once can never take the same last jar.
Several photos per product
Show the same cake from more than one angle — up to ten photos per product, in the order you choose.
Sizes and flavoursComing soon
Sell one product in several variations — a six-pack and a dozen — without listing it twice.
Custom orders
For the wedding cake that needs a conversation before it needs a price.
Ask what you need to know
Build a request form with your own questions, and attach a price to any choice.
Quote when you are ready
Review the request, then send back a price. Nothing is charged before you decide.
Take a deposit
Charge a percentage up front to hold the date, and the balance later.
Invoices that reconcile themselves
Send a Stripe invoice from your own account; payment is matched back to the order for you.
Subscription boxes
Recurring orders that generate themselves, so a standing weekly order stops being a standing reminder.
Versioned plans
Change what goes in the box without disturbing existing subscribers — they move across when you decide.
Weekly, biweekly or monthly
Pick a cadence and a cutoff. Upcoming deliveries are created for you, ahead of time.
Customers manage themselves
Skip a week, change a pickup spot, update a card or cancel — without emailing you.
Failed payments chase themselves
A declined card triggers its own reminder, with a link to fix it.
Your storefront
A hosted shop at your own address, with no site to build and nothing to keep patched.
Your colours
Pick a preset or set your own, and see it before it goes live.
An About page worth reading
Write your story in a proper editor, images included.
Who you are
Your photo, your location and your Instagram, on the shop itself.
Ratings and reviewsComing soon
Invite a review once an order is complete, and show it on your shop.
AnnouncementsComing soon
Put a note at the top of your shop — closed next week, new flavour on Friday.
Getting the day out the door
The part nobody advertises and everybody does at 6am.
One production calendar
Batches, custom order due dates and subscription deliveries on a single month view.
Print what you need
Packing lists, production totals and an address sheet, as PDFs, for any batch.
Delivery routes
Turn an afternoon of deliveries into an ordered route, across as many drivers as you have.
Orders taken off-platform
Add the order somebody texted you, so your totals stay true.
Bring in help
Invite someone into your shop without handing over your own login.
Money and trust
Your customers, your payouts, your data.
Your own Stripe account
You are the merchant of record. Payouts land in your account on your schedule, not ours.
0% of every sale
One flat subscription. We take nothing per order, however good the week was.
Card payments built in
Checkout is part of the shop — there is no separate payment page to set up.
Know what sold
Revenue, average order value, repeat customers and per-product performance, over any date range.
We never take a cut of your sales
Payments go straight to your own Stripe account. A Special Batch charges one flat subscription and takes 0% of what you sell — no per-order fee, no marketplace commission, no percentage of your busiest weekend.
Simple pricing
One product, two ways to pay
That's less than $5/month. Shopify costs $29/month plus transaction fees. Big Cartel starts at $15/month. A Special Batch gives you the full feature set for $49.90/year with no per-sale cuts.
