Who BatchDrop is for
People who make things in batches, and businesses that do not make anything at all.
For Bakers
Sell Saturday’s sourdough without the group text. Set up the drop, text your list, and keep every order in one place.
For Makers
Jam, hot sauce, candles, ceramics — sell a small run without building a shop or paying marketplace fees.
For Farm Stands
Sell this week’s share before it spoils. Set up a drop when you know the harvest, and text your regulars.
For Local Services
Keep your customer list out of a Google Doc. Know who is due, take quote requests on your own page, and keep track of who has paid for which job.
Maker, service, or both
When you set up your store, BatchDrop asks “What do you do?” Your answer changes what you see first — never what you can use. You can change it any time.
Maker
“I make things and sell them in batches”
The default. Your dashboard opens on your drops, and your public page lists what is open to order.
Service
“I provide a service to customers”
Your dashboard opens on Today — customers, follow-ups due, unread texts, and your last offer. The Drops and Products menus are hidden. Your public page shows what you do, where, and your phone number, with a “Request a quote or visit” form and a text sign-up box.
Both
Drops stay front and center, with the follow-ups due today listed alongside them.
What each one leans on
Drawn from the pages above. Nearly all of it is on every plan — invoices need Pro, and insights need Business.
Not on this list?
If you sell in limited runs — a batch, a harvest, a small restock — or your work comes round on a repeat cycle, BatchDrop probably fits. The pages above are examples, not a checklist.
What BatchDrop is not
- A booking system — there are no appointments or calendar.
- A team tool — it is one login per store.
- A tax calculator — it does not work out sales tax.
