Sugar AI helping with compliance
Sugar is here with you
Use Sugar to understand the rule, then verify it with your state.

Sugar can translate cottage food requirements into plain language and help you make a checklist. Laws change, so official state guidance remains the final source.

  • Set a written cancellation and refund policy

  • Your full name and home address
  • Net weight or count

🏠 Business Profile

💡 Sole proprietors without an EIN can leave this blank — provide your Social Security Number directly to your tax preparer, never here. BakerOS doesn't need or store SSNs.
💡 This info is used to fill out your compliance labels and tax summary — not shared anywhere else.
📱 Social Connections

Add the social profiles customers should be able to visit from your BakerOS storefront.

📅 Google Calendar

Sync your order pickup dates straight to your Google Calendar.

💳 Accept Card Payments

Connect Stripe so customers can pay you directly from their order — money goes straight to your bank, BakerOS never touches it.
Or let customers pay you via PayPal.me — no approval needed, works today. You'll confirm receipt manually since it's not automatic like Stripe.

💳 Payment Methods

Select all that you accept. Shown to customers on your storefront.

💵 Cash
💜 Venmo
💚 Cash App
🔵 Zelle
🔵 PayPal
💡 Always require a deposit for custom orders before you start baking.

🕒 Business Hours

Set the hours your bakery is generally open or available for customer communication. These are separate from pickup windows.

📅 Pickup Availability

Set pickup availability separately for each day so weekday and weekend windows can be different.

🚚 Delivery

Offer delivery
Let customers request delivery at checkout, not just pickup

🚫 Ordering Capacity

📜 Terms & Policies

This is what customers actually see and agree to at checkout on your storefront — deposit policy, cancellation policy, allergy disclaimer, and other ordering terms.

💰 Deposits & Order Confirmation

Set a default deposit so it's calculated automatically on new orders (you can still override it per order). This also controls what shows in the "order received" email customers get.

Sugar AIThis goes into the customer’s order-received email.

⭐ Reviews

BakerOS Verified Reviews
Customers can submit a verified review through a private link connected to a completed BakerOS order. Reviews stay hidden until you publish them, and published reviews appear on your public booking page.
To request a review: Open Orders, find an order marked Complete, and click Request Review. The order must include the customer's email address.
If you add an external link, customers will see it as an optional second choice in the BakerOS review-request email. This field is not required for BakerOS Verified Reviews.

🎁 Loyalty Program

Need ideas? Tap one to add it, then edit however you like:
💡 Customers see progress toward every active offer on their card in Customers. Once one is earned, you'll see a "Mark Redeemed" button to reset just that offer's count for the next round.
Automatic customer loyalty PRO When an order is completed, BakerOS automatically updates qualifying loyalty progress and emails the customer their private rewards link.
How it works: one completed order = one qualifying loyalty order. Reward progress is calculated automatically; previously processed orders are never counted twice.

🎯 Business Limits

Sugar AI
Ask Sugar hereSugar can help you understand the revenue-limit rules for your state and point you toward what to verify before you enter a number.

🧾 Sales Tax & Mileage

💡 Sales tax applies automatically at storefront checkout if set. Many states don't require sales tax on cottage food sold direct-to-consumer — verify your state's rule before entering a rate. The IRS standard mileage rate changed mid-2026 (72.5¢ → 76¢) — double check the current rate before relying on this for taxes.

✉️ Automated Customer Emails

These are the messages BakerOS sends when the matching automation is enabled. Open any template to see the exact default wording, edit it, or ask Sugar to rewrite it in your bakery's voice.

🔔 Notification Preferences
