Chocolatiers

Sell your chocolates online, from Easter to Christmas

Chocolate boxes, gift sets, Easter eggs and corporate gifts: customers order on your website, then collect in store or have them posted.

No setup fee, no monthly fee: 5% per sale, plus Stripe's payment fee.

Built around your trade

  • The seasons, without the crush

    Seasonal orders arrive early and paid. You plan production instead of reacting to it.

  • Collection or post

    You choose your delivery areas and rates. In hot weather, you can pause posting and keep collection.

  • Your work, beautifully shown

    Lovely photos, tempting descriptions, ingredients and allergens.

  • Paid when ordered

    Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Bancontact: paid before you prepare it.

  • Nothing to pay in summer

    With no monthly fee, quiet months cost you nothing.

  • A shop that feels like yours

    Your logo, colours and tone of voice. Customers stay in your world.

Set up for you in three steps

  1. You email us

    Your website address, your products and your prices. A photo of your price list or chalkboard is enough.

  2. We build your shop

    With your photos, your colours and your collection or delivery options. You approve it before it goes live.

  3. Orders start coming in

    A Shop tab appears in your menu. Every paid order lands in your inbox.

Questions

Can I stop posting chocolates in hot weather?

Yes. You can pause shipping at any time and keep in-store collection. Send us an email, or do it yourself.

Can I open Easter pre-orders on a set date?

Yes. We prepare your seasonal products in advance and put them live on the date you choose.

I already have a till in the shop. Does this work alongside it?

Yes. The online shop runs independently of your till. Online orders arrive by email.
