What happened
Castiron closed because of its fee model. Every time a buyer checked out, Castiron added 10% on top of your price. Buyers saw a higher total than expected, hesitated, and conversion dropped. When a marketplace can't convert buyers, sellers stop selling. That's what ended Castiron — not bad products, not bad sellers. A structural flaw they couldn't fix.
SellFood works the opposite way. Our 10% fee comes out of what you earn — your buyer never sees a surprise at checkout. Your price is your price.

Migration guide
Here's exactly what to do.
Before Castiron goes fully dark, screenshot or copy your product names, descriptions, prices, and photos. If you can still access your account, download anything you have.

Upload your photos, add descriptions and pricing, set variants (sizes, flavors), and mark your allergens. SellFood auto-generates the state-specific compliance disclaimer for your listing.
SellFood pays you directly through Stripe. Setup takes about 5 minutes.
Post a quick update on Instagram, Facebook, or email so your buyers know where to find you. Example: "Hey friends — I've moved my shop to SellFood.com! Same products, easier checkout. Come find me there."
Activate your listings. You're open for business.

What you get
Create compliant food labels for all 50 states and territories — with the right disclaimer for your state, allergen declarations, ingredient lists, and QR codes. Built in. No third-party tool needed.
Every state has its own cottage food laws. SellFood has a 9-page guide for all 56 US jurisdictions — permitted foods, labeling rules, sales caps, online selling rules, and more. Know your rules before you sell.
Most states limit how much cottage food sellers can earn per year. SellFood tracks your on-platform sales automatically and lets you log farmers market sales too — so you always know where you stand.
Castiron gave you a checkout page. SellFood is a two-sided marketplace — buyers browse, search, and discover sellers they've never heard of. Your storefront works even when you're not promoting it.
