Turn Instagram DMs into Real Orders — with Advance Payment

You post a cake, twenty people DM "price?", five negotiate, one orders — and then cancels. Tezzu gives you a catalogue link for your bio where customers pick the size, flavour and eggless option, write the cake message, pay the advance via UPI, and confirm — all before you preheat the oven.

Everything a Home Baker Needs to Sell

One Link in Bio → Full Catalogue

Your store page shows every cake, brownie box and dessert with photos and real prices — so "price?" DMs turn into orders.

  • Free page at tezzu.in/store/your-bakery — link it on Instagram & WhatsApp status
  • Product photos, categories and descriptions that sell
  • Prices visible upfront — no repetitive DM answering
  • Google-indexable, so locals searching "home baker near me" can find you

Orders with Size, Flavour & Eggless Options

No more 20-message back-and-forth to pin down one cake order. Customers configure everything themselves.

  • Variants: 500g / 1kg / 2kg, each with its own price
  • Options: flavours, eggless/with egg, fondant vs cream
  • Add-ons: candles, toppers, message plaques, gift wrapping
  • Special instructions field for the cake message and delivery date

Advance Payment Before You Bake

The #1 home-baker problem: cancelled custom orders. Collect the advance via UPI at checkout — bake only confirmed orders.

  • UPI, card and net banking payments via Razorpay
  • Money settles straight to your bank account
  • Cash on delivery optional — you decide per your comfort
  • Every payment tracked against its order automatically

A Real Order Book, Not Scattered Chats

See every upcoming order in one dashboard — what to bake, for whom, for when — and let WhatsApp updates handle the "is it ready?" messages.

  • All orders in one dashboard with customer details
  • Status updates sent automatically — confirmed, ready, delivered
  • Customer list builds itself — broadcast your Diwali/Christmas menu
  • Automatic feedback request after every delivery

Instagram DMs vs Tezzu

The same cake order, two ways:

DM back-and-forthTezzu order
Price enquiry"Price?" → you reply → silencePrices on the page — serious buyers proceed
Finalising the order20+ messages over 2 daysCustomer configures size/flavour/eggless in 2 minutes
The cake message & dateBuried somewhere in the chatCaptured in the order, impossible to miss
Advance paymentScreenshot roulette, awkward remindersUPI at checkout, auto-verified
CancellationsAfter you bought ingredientsAdvance paid = confirmed order
CostFree but chaoticFree plan · flat ₹10/order

* Home bakers report the advance-payment step alone eliminates most cancellations — and hours of DM answering disappear.

Frequently Asked Questions

I run my bakery from home with no FSSAI license yet. Can I use Tezzu?

Yes, you can start on Tezzu right away — it's your own store page and WhatsApp number. Note that once your turnover crosses ₹12 lakh/year, FSSAI registration is required for food businesses in India; a basic FSSAI registration is inexpensive and worth getting early.

Can customers choose delivery dates for custom cakes?

Yes — customers write the delivery date and cake message in the order instructions, and you confirm the order only if the date works for you. You always accept or reject each order.

How do I take a 50% advance instead of full payment?

Most bakers list the full price and collect it at checkout — the cleanest option. If you prefer a token/advance model, create an "advance booking" product for the advance amount and settle the balance on delivery.

Does it work with my personal WhatsApp number?

Tezzu sets up WhatsApp Business API ordering on a number you choose. Many home bakers use their existing business number — our team helps you through the quick embedded signup during onboarding.

What does it cost for a small home bakery?

Nothing to start — the free plan includes your store page, WhatsApp ordering and up to 50 orders/month. Paid plans (from ₹999/month) add online payments and broadcasts. Every plan is 0% commission with a flat ₹10 per order.
