What a per-order fee really costs

Hotplate is free to join, but it adds 5% plus $0.55 to every order, paid by your customers, on top of card fees. Proof is a flat price, however much you sell.

Questions

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

I only bake for friends and neighbors. Is this too much?

No. Starter is made for that, at $19 a month, about the price of two loaves. Start with one drop a week. Add a loaf club or a cafe later, if you want to. The parts you do not use stay out of your way.

I am not a computer person. Will I figure it out?

If you can post a loaf on Instagram, you can set up a drop. Proof works in your phone's browser, with nothing to install. Start with your loaves and one drop. If you get stuck, email help@tryproof.io and the person who builds Proof will help.

How long does setup take?

Plan on one evening for your loaves, your prices, your pickup spot and your first drop. Recipes, costing and cafes can come later, one at a time.

Does Proof take a cut of my sales?

No. You pay one flat monthly price. Your customers pay what you charge, with no added fee. Stripe takes its normal card fee on each payment, the same as anywhere you take cards.

How do I get paid?

You connect your own Stripe account. Every payment goes straight to your Stripe, and Stripe pays out to your bank. Proof never holds your money. No more checking Venmo at pickup.

Do I need a Twilio account or anything else for texts?

No. Proof sends your texts and emails for you. Email is unlimited. Each plan includes texts each month (250, 1,000 or 3,000), and extra texts are $4 per 100.

I use Hotplate, or I used Castiron. Can I switch?

Yes. Set up your loaves, your pickup places and your first drop, then share your new storefront link. If you have a customer list, send it to help@tryproof.io and we will help you bring it in.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Proof runs in your phone's browser, including the bake plan and the batch board. There is no app to install. Your customers order from their phones too.

Can I try it first?

Yes. The live demo is a full working bakery you can click through, with orders, batches and a bake plan. No signup. Nothing you do there is sent to real people.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. Your customers, orders and recipes are yours. Email help@tryproof.io and we will send you a full export.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. There is no contract. Cancel from Billing in the app, and you keep access to the end of the period you paid for.
