Make the shop do the selling before the back office has to.
Publish the products customers already know they want and let them check out directly. When a cake needs a conversation, Confita adds structured intake and a private payment-ready quote without turning every sale into a project.
Keep the operational stack you need. Do not buy one before the selling flow earns its place.
Build the storefront before you pay for it. Start your 7-day free trial, then add your products, customize the shop, set your questions, and send yourself a test order. Nothing is charged during the trial. Cancel in two taps.
