Sell out your drop. Skip the DMs.

Post your bake and share one link. Neighbors order and pay up front, with pickup windows and limits per loaf. Money goes to your own Stripe account. Proof takes no cut.

The demo is a working bakery you can click around. No signup, nothing to install.

Right now, a drop means a weekend of messages

  • Orders come in by DM, comment and text, and you copy each one by hand.
  • You chase Venmo at pickup, or eat the no-shows.
  • Someone wants the last blueberry loaf after it is gone.
  • Drop apps help, but some add 5% plus $0.55 to every order.

With Proof, customers order and pay on your page. You see the count, and you bake. No chasing anyone.

What you get

Open a drop in a few minutes

Your bakery gets its own storefront page. Each drop has a pickup date and window, a place and an order deadline. When the deadline passes, ordering closes by itself.

  • Pickup window, place and pickup notes on every drop
  • Limits per loaf, with a live count of what is left
  • Sold out shows the moment a loaf hits its limit
The drop form: Saturday Bake, pickup Saturday 9 to 11 AM on the front porch, order deadline Thursday 8 PM, and a limit per loaf.

Paid up front, to your own Stripe

Customers pay by card when they order. Payments go straight to your Stripe account, and Stripe pays out to your bank. Proof never holds your money and never adds a fee.

Loaves in an open checkout are held for a short time, so two people cannot buy the last one.

A $32 order: Stripe's card fee of $1.23, a Proof fee of zero, and $30.77 to the baker's Stripe account.

A text list you own

Share your text alerts page anywhere: your Instagram bio, a sign at pickup, a note in the bag. People opt in with a checkbox, and Proof keeps a record of their consent.

The text alerts signup page, and the text that goes out when the next bake opens.

Announcements, drafted for you

Proof drafts the announcement from the drop: its name, pickup window, order deadline and link. Each customer gets it with their own name and their own order link, by email, text or both.

  • Texts are sent by Proof. No Twilio account, no phone number to buy
  • Every text ends with Reply STOP to opt out, and STOP is handled for you
  • Unlimited email on every plan, and 250 to 3,000 texts a month

Links that look good in a group chat

Your storefront link opens with a preview card: your bakery's name over a loaf on linen. It looks like a bakery, not a form, when a customer shares it with friends.

Questions about drops and storefront

Something else? Email help@tryproof.io and a person will answer.

What does Proof charge per order?
Nothing. You pay your monthly plan. Stripe takes its normal card fee, and the rest goes to your Stripe account.
Do I need a Stripe account?
Yes, to take cards. You connect your own Stripe account in Settings. Payments go straight to it, and Proof never holds your money.
How many texts can I send?
250 a month on Starter, 1,000 on Microbakery and 3,000 on Bakery. Extra texts are $4 per 100. Email is unlimited.
I sell on Hotplate now. Can I switch?
Yes. Set up your loaves and your first drop, then share your new storefront and text alerts links. If you have a customer list, email help@tryproof.io and we will help.
