Thank you so much for joining Bake Boost. Over the past eight weeks, we’ve had the privilege of speaking with and chatting directly with many of you. We sincerely appreciate your openness in sharing what you’re going through, especially in light of the unexpected shutdown of Bake Diary.
We want you to know that we hear you and are taking action.
Several features you’ve mentioned, such as a custom inquiry form and payment integration with Square, have been prioritized and are already underway. Several other improvements are also being implemented, and we’re committed to rolling out helpful updates as quickly as possible.
- To support your transition, we’re extending the free trial period from 14 days to one month, until June 15. (You don’t need to take any action)
- Till 15 June, Standard & Premium have the same features, so whichever category it shows you in your Subscription Profile, you have access to all the features.
- Update, June 16: If anyone wants to have extensions to the Trial, please message us at support@bakeboost.com
- Join your Bakers Community Facebook Group
This gives you more time to explore, test, and decide without pressure if Bake Boost fits your business.
We also understand that Bake Boost may not yet include all the features you were using.
If you have any specific Feature requirements, please share with us over here (we have over 60 submissions; thank you!)

5 – Old master data migration (Customers, ingredients, products, etc.)
You download your data from the existing application in the CSV format
Transactional data, such as all your existing orders, is challenging to import into any other application, as each new application will have a different data structure. This is a very well-known fact in the IT industry.
Please have your data in Excel or CSV format, properly cleaned.
Our Target solution is to provide you with the option to import master data from Excel/CSV templates, making it available to everyone and allowing them to organize their data for import into Bake Boost.
We can talk about any additional data requirements with you on a case-by-case basis.
Import of Contacts/Customers is ready as of 29th May, and you can use it to upload your contacts
Step by step, follow: https://www.bakeboost.com/docs/customer-contacts-upload/

Currently, Orders can be created from
- Custom orders form, equal to your enquiry form (dedicated form of every cake shop)
- From the e-commerce page (dedicated page of every cake shop)
- POS
- From WhatsApp directly in the application (Inquiry or create an Order from the whatsapp info)
How will I get a one-month free trial?
We are extending the Premium plan from 14 days to 1 month for FREE until June 15th. There is no automation in place, so you don’t need to take any action; we will manage it. You will all receive a 1-month free trial. Just sign up and start using it.
There are no restrictions on any feature in the Standard or Premium Plan till June 15th, so whatever plan it shows you in your Subscription Profile, you have all the features.
