The compliance maze.
Every state has its own cottage food law, its own permitted-food list, its own label requirements, its own sales cap. Miss one and you're not selling — you're liable.
No website to build. No 50 state laws to decode. Just a real shop, compliant labels, and buyers who came here looking for what you make.
You can bake it. You can jar it. You can bottle it. That's not the hard part. The hard part is everything around it — and that's exactly what SellFood is for.
Every state has its own cottage food law, its own permitted-food list, its own label requirements, its own sales cap. Miss one and you're not selling — you're liable.
Squarespace, Shopify, Wix — they're all general-purpose tools that weren't designed for cottage food. You pay monthly, you configure forever, and it still doesn't know what a "sales cap" is.
A beautiful standalone site gets you nothing if no one lands on it. Driving traffic from scratch is a second full-time job most sellers never signed up for.
Four steps. No web skills needed. No guessing at state law.
Quick form. Two minutes. We use it to generate the right label, the right disclaimers, and the right sales-cap rules for you.
Your shop URL goes live with your brand. Your label has every state-mandated element: producer name, address, ingredients, allergen, cottage disclaimer.
On your shop URL and on the SellFood marketplace at the same time. Buyers can find you by browsing, searching, filtering by state, or going straight to your brand page.
Buyer pays through our secure checkout. Money arrives in your Stripe account automatically, minus a flat 10%. No chasing, no invoicing, no manual anything.
None of these are add-ons. They're part of your SellFood shop. Click through to see each one.
