Seven DMs and a bank transfer. Or one paid order.

On Cravers Eats, your shop answers the questions. Customers choose what they want, add a note and pay by card. You get one clear order, already paid, and tap Accept.

4 in 10 UK adults say they would abandon a purchase if asked to transfer money into a personal bank account.

41% of 2,000 UK adults surveyed by Opinium for Tink in May 2025. In the same survey, 57% said they don’t trust businesses that ask to be paid this way. Read the research

Example: the same order, twice.

We bring the customers. You bring what you make.

Customers open Cravers Eats to find independent makers near them. Getting them there is our job, and we pay for it.

  • We pay for the advertising

    Our launch campaign brings customers to Cravers Eats with paid social media ads and local promotion. You never pay for ads or placement.

  • Founding shops are seen first

    Shops that join before launch are the first ones customers see, and we’ll feature founding sellers in our launch posts.

  • 20% off for your first customers, on us*

    Our first 500 customers get 20% off their first order (up to £5) with our launch code. We pay for it, so you still get your full price.

  • A shop link for your bio

    Keep selling on Instagram and WhatsApp. Send your Cravers Eats link instead of your bank details, and customers order and pay through it at the same 5%.

Coming soon toiPhone Coming soon toAndroid Until the apps arrive, you can set up and run your shop in your phone’s browser.

Sell like a creator

Stories, live streams and live auctions are built into your shop, to turn your followers into orders. All included, at the same 5%.

StoriesNew

Post today’s bakes, fresh bouquets or your last few boxes. Your story sits at the top of the Cravers home screen for 24 hours with a “Shop this” button, and one tap shares it to Instagram, TikTok, Facebook or WhatsApp.

Go Live

Bake, decorate or pack orders live from your phone. Customers watch, chat and tap through to your shop while you’re on, and a “Live” badge puts you first on the home screen.

Auction a one-off

Put a showstopper cake, a one-off piece or the last tray of the day up for auction during your stream. Viewers bid against the clock, the winner’s card is charged automatically, and the order lands in your shop already paid.

Virtual high streetComing soon

Your shop as a 3D shopfront on a virtual street that customers can stroll down and step inside. This is still being built and is coming later.

You keep 95%

  • 5% per sale on collection orders and orders you deliver yourself.
  • Card fees are on us. Customers pay by card and we cover the processing.
  • Customers pay a 99p service fee (plus £1 on baskets under £15) at checkout, like other ordering apps. Neither comes out of your price.

From application to first order

You can do all of it from your phone.

  1. Create your account

    Two minutes: your shop name, an email and a password.

  2. Build your shop

    Tell us what you sell and add your items with a photo and a price (and allergens for food). It takes about 15 minutes, and our tools tidy your photos and draft your descriptions for you to approve.

  3. We check every shop

    Shops are approved one by one. We check that what you sell is allowed and, for food, that you’re registered with your council and your allergen information is complete. We email you either way.

  4. Open on launch day

    Connect your bank through Stripe before we open to customers in early 2027. Each order arrives paid, with an Accept button, and customers collect or you deliver.

Questions sellers ask

Is there an app for iPhone and Android?

It’s coming to the App Store and Google Play. Until then, you can set up and run your shop in your phone’s browser, and we’ll email you when the app is ready to download.

When do you launch?

We open to customers across the UK in early 2027. We’re signing up sellers first, so customers have plenty to choose from on day one. Sign up wherever you are and we’ll email you the exact date.

Does it cost anything to join early?

No. Joining is free, there’s no monthly fee, and the advertising and the first-order discount for customers are paid by us. We only take 5% when you make a sale.

How much does Cravers Eats charge sellers?

5% of the item price on each completed sale, with card fees covered by us. There’s no sign-up fee, monthly fee or contract. Customers pay a 99p service fee (plus £1 on baskets under £15) at checkout, which doesn’t come out of your price.

Can I keep selling on Instagram?

Yes. Put your Cravers Eats shop link in your bio and send it in DMs. Customers order and pay through it, at the same 5%.

When do I get paid?

Every Wednesday, straight to your bank through Stripe. Each Wednesday’s payment covers your sales up to the Tuesday of the week before, so money arrives one to two weeks after each sale. We hold each sale for at least 7 days (through Stripe) so a refund can be covered if an order goes wrong.

Do I need to be registered?

If you sell food, yes. Register with your local council at least 28 days before you start trading; it’s free and can’t be refused. When you apply, we ask whether you’re registered and for your food hygiene rating if you’ve been inspected. Florists and makers don’t register with the council, but other rules can apply (for example labels on scented candles): see our crafts guide.

What if I can’t take an order?

Tap Decline and the customer is refunded in full. You have 15 minutes to accept or decline each new order; if you don’t answer in time, it’s declined and refunded for you. If you’re busy or away, switch off Taking orders on your shop’s Home screen so customers can’t order until you’re back.

Who delivers?

Today, customers collect from you or you deliver yourself; you set the area, the fee and the minimum order. Cravers delivery riders are coming later.

What if a customer disputes a card payment?

It’s rare, but any card payment can be disputed with the customer’s bank (a chargeback). We answer the bank through Stripe and may ask you for evidence, such as photos of the order and your messages. If the bank sides with you, you keep the money. If it sides with the customer, that order’s payment comes back out of your earnings, as our seller terms say. Clear photos, notes and collection times are your best protection.

I’m registered but haven’t been inspected yet. Can I sell?

Yes. Once you’ve registered with your council (at least 28 days before you start), you can trade while you wait for your first inspection. Tell us you’re registered when you apply; you can add your hygiene rating once you have one.

How do I get help?

Email hello@craverseats.co.uk. A real person reads every email, and we aim to reply within one working day.

Apply as a founding seller

* 20% off the item prices (before fees), up to £5, of a customer’s first Cravers Eats order, when they use our launch code at checkout, on any type of order on the Cravers Eats marketplace: collection or delivery, food or non-food (not live-auction wins or orders on a seller’s own website). One per customer and one per card, for our first 500 customers, while the offer lasts. Paid by Cravers Eats: the seller receives their full price, less the usual 5%.
