Selling & payments
However you sell — market stall, custom cakes, wholesale, or over the counter — the sale, the stock, and the money end up in the same books.
The four channels
Every order carries a channel: retail, wholesale, custom (cakes, catering, pre-orders), or market (kiosk sales). Channels keep reporting honest about where revenue comes from.
Orders
Orders move through a pipeline — draft, pending, confirmed, in progress, out for delivery, ready, delivered, completed — with tabs for what needs attention now (Open, In progress, Ready). Fulfilling an order draws down stock, and the list exports to CSV.
Invoices
Invoices track Draft → Open → Partially paid → Paid (or Voided), with payment terms from Due on receipt through Net 60. Send one by email, record payments as they land — cash, check, bank transfer, card — and print or export a PDF for clients who want paper.
Market day: kiosk + Tap to Pay
Kiosk mode lives in the Butterbase mobile app. It already knows your products, prices, and stock — open it at the stall and start selling. With Tap to Pay on iPhone (powered by Stripe), the customer holds their card, phone, or watch over your phone — no reader, no second device. Each sale settles stock and revenue on the spot.
Customers can get a receipt as a link — a clean, printable page with your bakery's name and the line items, no sign-in needed.
Clients
Wholesale, retail, and custom clients each keep contact details and their order history, so repeat orders start from what actually happened last time.
