Free Sourdough Preorder Form

What this preorder page is for

Sourdough 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?

• Sourdough bakers working with a fixed fermentation schedule
• Customers who want to reserve a particular loaf
• Market sellers allocating loaves before opening

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 Country sourdough loaf, Seeded sourdough loaf, Rye sourdough loaf with example prices and a limit for each choice. Include loaf weight, flour blend, seed ingredients and sliced or unsliced choice, then set a cutoff that leaves enough time for a fermentation-led bake where the order cutoff needs to match starter and proofing cycles.

2. 02

   Share your link. Post the page where sourdough bakers working with a fixed fermentation schedule 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 fermentation-led bake where the order cutoff needs to match starter and proofing cycles. 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 sourdough?

• Set a separate limit for country sourdough loaf and each option, so reservations stay within the batch you can prepare.
• Keep a fermentation-led bake where the order cutoff needs to match starter and proofing cycles visible in one order list instead of reconciling Google Forms, Instagram DMs and paper lists.
• Show loaf weight, flour blend, seed ingredients and sliced or unsliced choice 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 close the loaf list before you feed, shape or schedule the dough for that bake. Put the exact date and time on the page so customers know when reservations close.
2. Use the batch guidance for this use case: cap each loaf style separately because seeded, rye and country doughs use different mixes. Review the prep totals before confirming the final amount.
3. Include loaf weight, flour blend, seed ingredients and sliced or unsliced choice 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.
