Automate WhatsApp & Instagram for Your Home Baker with ZapUp
Home bakers juggle Instagram DM cake briefs — design, weight, flavour, date — that get lost in scrolling chats.
Quick answer
ZapUp collects the cake design reference, weight, flavour and delivery date directly from an Instagram DM or WhatsApp enquiry, checks that week's slot availability, and sends a 50% advance payment link before locking the booking.
Watch it handle a real conversation
The demo on the right is the exact kind of exchange your home baker gets every day — answered, qualified, and booked without you touching the phone.

Brief + advance collected — slot locked
The messages your customers actually send
Every one of these gets answered in seconds — accurately, in your voice, at any hour:
The four automations that do the work
Custom Cake Brief Collection
Gathers the design photo, weight, flavour, message and delivery date in one structured thread instead of scattered DM replies.
Weekly Slot Availability
Checks the week's limited baking slots and tells the customer the next open date before any design work is quoted.
50% Advance Payment Link
Sends a payment link for the advance once the brief is confirmed, and locks the slot only after it clears.
Delivery Day Reminder
Reminds the customer and the baker a day before pickup or delivery, with the final balance amount due.
Discovery happens on Instagram — ZapUp runs both
Cake photos and reels are where most home bakers get discovered; ZapUp turns the design-screenshot DMs that follow into a structured WhatsApp brief and advance payment.
Before you ask
Can I automate custom cake order taking on Instagram and WhatsApp?
Yes — ZapUp collects the design reference, weight, flavour and date from a DM or WhatsApp message, checks your open slots, and asks for the advance, so you only step in to confirm and bake.
What if I only have a few slots a week — will it overbook me?
No, you set how many orders each date can take. Once a day is full, ZapUp tells new customers the next open slot instead of double-booking you.
Do I still get the 50% advance before starting a cake?
Yes, the booking only locks after the advance payment link is paid. You can also set a different split if you prefer.
