Pricing
Free for bakers
What your customers pay
The fee shows as its own line at checkout, under your prices. Here’s what it comes to on a few typical orders:
| Order | Order total | Service fee |
|---|---|---|
| A loaf of sourdough | $12.00 | $0.78 |
| Two loaves and a box of cookies | $33.00 | $1.62 |
| A dozen cinnamon rolls and bread for the week | $65.00 | $2.90 |
| A tray of desserts for a party | $110.00 | $4.70 |
| A custom celebration cake | $250.00 | $5.00 |
The fee is worked out on the order total, including any delivery or short-notice fee you charge. Big orders never pay more than $5.00.

Card payments
You choose what you accept: cards, cash, Zelle, or any mix. Card payments run through your own Stripe account and go straight to you. Doughdate never holds your money.
Stripe charges its standard rate of 2.9% plus 30¢ per card payment, paid by you, like any card reader. Cash and Zelle orders have no processing cost. Card orders are paid in full when the customer orders, a small thank-you for the processing cost you take on. Cash and Zelle orders are paid at pickup or delivery.
How the fee reaches us
On card orders, the service fee is taken automatically from the payment. On cash and Zelle orders, your customer pays it to you with the rest of the order. On the 1st of each month we add up those fees from last month’s orders and charge the card you keep on file. Your admin shows the running total, and each monthly statement lists the orders behind it.
The service fee is paid by your customer, on top of your prices, whatever way they pay.
What’s included
Everything, for every baker: your shop and look, your own domain ($5 a month; your doughdate.com address is always free), limits and rules, drops and waitlists, the bake list, email reminders, delivery areas, staff accounts, and help setting up.
