From Bakery to Online Store: How BuildMyStore Helps Bakeries Sell More
Bakeries are a part of everyone’s daily life. From fresh bread in the morning to cakes for birthdays and festivals, bakeries bring sweetness and freshness to our lives
Traditionally, most bakeries rely on walk-in customers or bulk festive orders. But today, customers want more:
- The option to order cakes and pastries online.
- Home delivery for birthdays, parties, and special occasions.
- Digital payment options like UPI, cards, and COD.
- Custom orders for cakes and party packages.
- Trust in a branded experience.
Large players like Bakingo and Winni are already serving this demand. But local bakeries can also compete and grow faster — with BuildMyStore.
BuildMyStore is an eCommerce store builder platform (like Shopify) designed for Indian sellers. It helps bakeries launch their own branded online store, mobile app, Rider App, POS, and analytics system — everything needed to sell more, deliver faster, and delight customers.
Why Bakeries Should Go Online
For bakeries, being offline-only means limited reach. Customers often:
- Call or WhatsApp for cake orders → leading to errors.
- Face delays with unorganized delivery boys.
- Want COD or UPI, but payment handling gets messy.
- Move to online-first bakery brands for convenience.
With BuildMyStore, bakeries can give customers the same online convenience while keeping full control over their brand and profits.
BuildMyStore Features for Bakeries
Branded Online Store & Mobile App
- Launch your own bakery app (Android & iOS) and website.
- Personalized with your logo, colors, and name.
- Customers order directly from you, not from marketplaces.
- Builds brand trust, especially for birthdays & parties.
Example: “Sweet Treats Bakery App – Fresh Cakes Delivered in 2 Hours.”
Custom & Bulk Orders
Bakeries often get large festive or event-based orders. BuildMyStore supports:
- Custom cake orders (size, design, flavors).
- Bulk festive orders during Christmas, Diwali, New Year.
