The spreadsheet trap
Comments on a Facebook post. A bank transfer. A half-finished sheet.
That “system” breaks every busy week. Vendl turns one link into orders, payments, and a make list you can open before you start.
- One public link or printed QR
- Paid orders with a close time and cap
- Totals by product for the day you bake or pack
- Share link
- Orders in
- Get paid
- Open make list

The flagship view
Open the make list before you start.
Production totals first. Packing by customer second. Printable labels when you need them - so you’re not handwriting bags at 4am.
- SKU totals for the day
- Order count and money taken
- Packing list with status
- Deposits and balance for long lead times
- Unique QR per pre-order page
- Cart add-ons on the same collection day
Every feature is included on Free. Pro only changes the Vendl card fee.
Built for people who don’t want a store
Every other serious pre-order tool assumes you already have Shopify. Vendl doesn’t.
Do I need a website?
No. Share a link or print a QR - buyers order and pay online.
When do I get paid?
Card is taken when they order (or as a deposit). Money goes to your Stripe account.
Can I cap how many I take?
Yes. Hard caps per product and an orders-close time. The window shuts itself.
What about deposits?
Optional. Take a percentage now and charge the balance before handover - built for longer lead times.
“It was all so easy and fast to set up - your 10-minute setup was generous. I did it all in about three!”
“I was keen to try something that didn't have so many fees - like PayID.”
Start free. Pay only when a card sale is made.
A$0 per month, with every Vendl feature.
Cash and local bank payments have no Vendl fee - PayID in Australia, Pay by Bank in the UK & Europe, and other local options where available. Card, Tap & Go and pay-later sales on Free include a 2.5% Vendl fee, plus standard Stripe processing fees.
You can absorb the Vendl fee or pass it on to customers. Upgrade to Pro later to remove it.
