Free Cookie Preorder Form

What this preorder page is for

Cookie Preorder Form collects reservations before you make, pack or source a limited batch. Customers choose from one page instead of separate messages, and can see quantities, a cutoff, pickup time and collection point before reserving.

Preorder Form keeps reservations and item totals together. On the free plan customers pay at pickup; sellers can download customer emails, orders, batches, items, prep lists and discount codes as CSV files. Automated emails and Stripe payments are planned paid features, not available yet.

Who can use this format?

• Home bakers selling box quantities
• Decorated-cookie makers with limited design capacity
• Customers ordering treats for sharing or gifts

Use it instead of Google Forms, Instagram DMs and paper lists for one menu and quantity list.

How to take orders in three steps

1. 01

   Create the form. Add Chocolate chip dozen, Decorated cookie set, Mixed cookie box with example prices and a limit for each choice. Include cookie count, flavour, decoration, packaging and common allergens, then set a cutoff that leaves enough time for a mix of standard boxes and decorated cookies that need different preparation time.

2. 02

   Share your link. Post the page where home bakers selling box quantities already look for updates. State the pickup window and location, and let customers reserve from the same limited menu instead of collecting orders in separate messages.

3. 03

   Prepare and hand over. Use the order and prep lists to total each option before a mix of standard boxes and decorated cookies that need different preparation time. At your chosen pickup window, check the order details as each customer collects and mark the order as collected. Payment is handled in person on the free plan.

Why use a preorder form for cookie?

• Set a separate limit for chocolate chip dozen and each option, so reservations stay within the batch you can prepare.
• Keep a mix of standard boxes and decorated cookies that need different preparation time visible in one order list instead of reconciling Google Forms, Instagram DMs and paper lists.
• Show cookie count, flavour, decoration, packaging and common allergens beside the item so customers can choose the right version before they reserve.
• Offer local pickup without online payment setup. Preorder Form is free when customers pay in person at collection.

Tips for a smoother preorder

1. Set the cutoff to set the deadline far enough ahead for dough chilling, decorating and packaging. Put the exact date and time on the page so customers know when reservations close.
2. Use the batch guidance for this use case: give decorated sets a lower cap than standard cookies if each one needs individual work. Review the prep totals before confirming the final amount.
3. Include cookie count, flavour, decoration, packaging and common allergens in each description. Add ingredient, allergen, size or care details that matter for the product.

Include ingredients, allergens, storage, size or care details; check local requirements.
