A branded storefront with products, services, cart and checkout.
Enter your ingredient cost per batch, how many you make, packaging and your time. You get your true cost per piece and a price per piece and per dozen that covers your labour and profit.
Work out the ingredient cost for one batch and divide by how many pieces it makes, add packaging per piece, then add your time (hours per batch x hourly rate, divided by pieces). That is your cost per piece. Home bakers commonly price at about 2 to 3 times that cost, and should never price below it.

Enter ingredient cost per batch, pieces per batch, packaging and your time in Pludor's free Bakery Pricing Calculator. You get your true cost per piece and a price per piece and per dozen that covers labour and profit.
The calculator divides your batch ingredients and time across the pieces and adds packaging, so you see the exact cost of one.
Home bakers often price from ingredients only and leave out hours of prep, baking, decorating and cleaning. The calculator puts your time back into the price.
Pludor's Bakery & Treats Pricing Calculator is free, instant and shows the lowest price you should ever go.
Home bakers price by what the neighbour charges, forget packaging and hours, and bake at a loss for months.
Selling through DMs, link lists and screenshots loses orders: there is no cart, no real checkout, no order record and no way for new buyers to find you.
Every Pludor seller gets a hosted storefront at pludor.com/{store} with physical products, digital products and services, variations, a cart, card/wallet/QR checkout and an order dashboard - and every product is also listed in the shared Pludor marketplace so buyers can discover it.
On for every store, including the Free plan ($0, no item limit). Every feature is on for every store. Each month a free amount of everything is included (for example 3,000 visits, 100 AI replies and 30 bookings); past that you pay only for what you use, in credits (1 credit = 1 cent). New stores get 500 free credits. Monthly plans are optional bundles of credits with bigger free amounts and a lower fee. Pludor charges a platform fee of 2% + $0.90 per paid online order, deducted before payout. Card processing (Stripe) is charged separately by the processor. Cash sales recorded in POS carry no platform fee, and wallet-to-wallet transfers between Pludor users are free.
