Open your shop and take your first pre-orders

Give your name, your email and a password, then open the link we email you. The account is yours alone: your customers never need one.

The studio asks four questions, one screen each:

1. 1What you sell: bakery, produce, meals, pantry, dairy, meat or drinks. It can’t change later.
2. 2Your shop’s name. Your link is made from it, such as twistdrops.com/your-shop, and you can change it.
3. 3Where your shop is. The country sets your currency and your shop’s clock. Then the phone number customers can reach you on: it goes in every email about their reservation.
4. 4Where customers pick up, and whether that address shows on your storefront.

Tap “Open my shop”, and your storefront is live.

“Home” then shows a short list, in the order that gets you to a first order soonest: your first product, your first drop, how customers pay, your logo or cover photo, then sharing your storefront. Each step ticks itself as you do it.

A product is a template: its photos, its name and description in each of your shop’s languages, its tags, and its allergens. It has no price or stock of its own: each drop gives it those. Start with “New product”.

A drop is a batch you make for one day. Choose the pickup day and time, when reservations open and close, and the products, with their prices and how many of each. “Save draft” keeps it to yourself. “Publish” puts it on your storefront.

What you publish shows on your storefront. Share its link on Instagram, on WhatsApp or in the Facebook group for your street. For your counter, print its QR code from “QR code”. Customers reserve in about a minute, with no account: they give a name, an email and a phone number.

Each reservation lands in “Orders” as “Pending”, and its products come off your stock. Confirm it, and your customer gets an email with the pickup address and how to pay. On the day, the production list says what to make, and customers pay you when they pick up.
