From creating a round to fulfilled orders.
FoodShare helps food sellers organise bulk food sharing, collect payments, and manage orders without back-and-forth messages or manual tracking.
- 01
Create a Sharing Round
Set up a round by listing the food items available for bulk sharing, quantities, and pricing. FoodShare generates a unique link you can share directly with your customer community.
FoodShare automatically generates a unique, professional ordering link tailored to that specific round. Customers can use the link to join the round and pay securely without any app downloads or manual back-and-forth. - 02
Share link
Share your round link via WhatsApp, Telegram, email, or any channel you already use. Customers open the link, view available items, select quantities, and place their orders easily.
Customers tap the link and are instantly taken to a professional storefront—no downloads, registrations, or login hurdles required. Your community can browse the live inventory, select their desired quantities, and complete their orders in seconds with a few taps.
- 03
Customers order and pay
Customers select their specific share of bulk items and complete their purchase using integrated, secure payment methods directly on the platform. Our system automatically matches every payment to the correct customer and order.
Every transaction is logged instantly on your dashboard, giving you a live view of your revenue without a single manual follow-up or confirmation message.
