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 on iPhone
Kiosk mode lives in the Butterbase mobile app. It already knows your products, prices, and stock. Open it at the stall to record cash sales. Tap to Pay on iPhone is rolling out. Card payments on your iPhone will be available after the rollout.
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.
Orders and clients are free. Invoices, card payments, and Market mode are Pro features. See Billing & plans.
