Sell preorders for pickup, without overcommitting
Cottage Cart is a storefront built for preorder pickup businesses — bakeries, farms, and homesteads. Take orders against real production capacity, with pickup windows and order cutoffs that keep you from selling more than you can make.
Free for beta testers through June 30, 2026, then your first 10 orders are free. No revenue cut, ever.
Built for how you actually sell
Preorder with pickup windows
Customers reserve ahead for a specific pickup window and time, so you bake or harvest to actual demand instead of guessing.
Shared production capacity
Cap how much you can make per category each week. Orders stop accepting once you are full, before you overcommit.
Order cutoffs
Set a cutoff before each pickup window so late orders cannot sneak in after you have planned production.
Online payment or pay on pickup
Take card payments through your own Stripe account, or let customers reserve and pay in person — your choice per location.
Your own custom domain
Run the storefront on your own domain. Your domain only ever shows your store, with automatic HTTPS.
Your branding
Logo, colors, hero image, announcement bar, and policies — the storefront looks like your business, not a marketplace.

Frequently asked
- Who is Cottage Cart for?
- Bakers, farms, homesteads, and small makers who sell by preorder for scheduled pickup rather than shipping everything on demand.
- How do payouts work?
- You connect your own Stripe account. Customer payments go directly to you — Cottage Cart does not take a cut of your sales or hold your money.
- Can customers pay in person?
- Yes. You can enable pay-on-pickup per location, take card payments online via Stripe, or offer both.
- Do I need a custom domain?
- No. Every store gets a hosted storefront link. A custom domain is optional and can be added whenever you are ready.
- Is there a contract?
- No long-term contract. Your first 10 orders are free, and after that it is a simple month-to-month subscription you can cancel anytime.
