The spreadsheet trap
Comments on a Facebook post. A bank transfer. A half-finished sheet.
That “system” breaks every busy week. Vendl turns one link into orders, payments, and a make list you can open before you start.
- One public link or printed QR
- Paid orders with a close time and cap
- Totals by product for the day you bake or pack
- Share link
- Orders in
- Get paid
- Open make list
Up and running in three simple steps
Pick your trade, share the link, take orders.
- 01
Set your catalogue and window
Starter products for your trade, with orders-close and collection or delivery day.
- 02
Share the link
Drop it in a group, story, or WhatsApp thread - or print a QR for the counter.
- 03
Make and pack from one board
See totals to produce, then tick customers off as they collect or you deliver.
No card details required
Owner dashboard
See every sale, stock alert, and subscription in one place

Built for people who don’t want a store
Every other serious pre-order tool assumes you already have Shopify. Vendl doesn’t.
Do I need a website?
No. Your Vendl shop is included - with categories and your own product order. Share a link or print a QR and buyers order and pay online.
When do I get paid?
Card is taken when they order (or as a deposit). Money goes to your Stripe or Square account.
Can I cap how many I take?
Yes. Hard caps per product and an orders-close time. The window shuts itself.
What about deposits?
Optional. Take a percentage now and charge the balance before handover - built for longer lead times.
“It was all so easy and fast to set up - your 10-minute setup was generous. I did it all in about three!”
“I was keen to try something that didn't have so many fees - like PayID.”
Start free. Pay only when a card sale is made.
A$0 per month, with every Vendl feature.
Cash and local bank payments have no Vendl fee - PayID in Australia, Pay by Bank in the UK & Europe, and other local options where available. Card, Tap & Go and pay-later sales on Free include a 2.5% + 30c Vendl fee via Stripe (2.5% via Square or PayPal), plus standard processing fees.
Outside Australia you can absorb the Vendl fee or pass it on to customers. Upgrade to Pro later to remove it.
