Florida Cottage Foods provides general educational information and directory listings only. We are not a law firm, government agency, or food safety authority. Makers are responsible for verifying current rules with FDACS and applicable local and state requirements.
A 5-minute setup that turns your Facebook bakery into a real shop — customers order from a page with your menu, not from your DMs. It's completely free.
Why bother? “DM me to order” loses sales — messages get buried, you re-post your menu constantly, and only your current followers ever see you. One link fixes all of it.
Set up your free storefront (takes ~2 minutes, no credit card). You'll get a link like floridacottagefoods.com/makers/your-bakery. Copy it — you'll paste it everywhere below.
On your Facebook Page: click the + Add a button (or edit the existing one) under your cover photo → choose “Shop now” or “Sign up” → select “Link to website” → paste your storefront link → Save. Now every visitor sees a one-tap Order button that goes to your real menu.
Write a short post — “🍪 Order my cookies here 👉 [your link]” — then click the ⋯ menu on the post → “Pin to top of Page.” It stays at the top so new visitors always see how to order.
Instead of “DM me to order” (orders get lost), end every post with “Order here 👉 [your link].” Customers land on a real page with your menu, prices, pickup info, and payment — no back-and-forth.
Instagram only allows one link, so make it your storefront. Edit Profile → Website → paste your link. One link that shows everything you make.
The free listing isn't a trial. This is all included at $0, forever:
Create your free storefront, then follow the steps above to plug it into Facebook.

Free. No spam. Unsubscribe anytime.
Is the listing really free?
Yes — free forever, no credit card. You can upgrade later for more products and features, but the storefront, menu, order info, and Facebook link cost nothing.
Do I have to leave Facebook?
No. Keep your page and your community — your storefront is just the professional place your Facebook traffic lands to order.
How do customers pay?
You add your own Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, or Zelle — customers pay you directly. We never handle the money.
Why is this better than a Facebook Shop?
Facebook Shops are built for shipped retail and require catalogs, checkout setup, and verification. Your storefront is built for local, pickup cottage food — with compliance, pop-up scheduling, and Google discovery a Facebook Shop can't give you. See the full comparison.
