Selling online has become a nearly required part of doing business. From established brick-and-mortar businesses to completely digital ventures, ecommerce is a great way to connect with customers where they are. 

Zibster makes selling online super easy. From clothes and decor to parts and accessories, even food is being sold online and shipped around the world.

I hope you brought your appetite because today we are looking at how three food-focused businesses are selling their products online with Zibster.

Alex has been selling cheesecake since 2002. His business, Cheesecakes by Alex, is a well-established bakery in Greensboro, North Carolina. Their 22-flavors of cheesecakes are loved not only by our team but by people all over the U.S. The next time you are craving something sweet, I highly encourage you to check them out. 

For many years, Cheesecakes by Alex did all their sales in-person or by phone. With the help of Zibster’s online store features, they are now selling their yummy cheesecakes online and shipping them within the continental U.S.

Embracing online sales opportunities has been a game-changer for their business and you can see it in their business growth. They now have another location in the Winston-Salem area. 

For quick local deliveries, they also added third-party delivery services like DoorDash to get their delightful treats to customers as soon as possible. You can order a slice or a whole cake through this option.

We’re proud to help give Alex and his team the resources they need to sell online with a website that feels as rich as one of his desserts. 

Selling directly to customers can be a great way to corner your market, whether in-person or online. Casa Olaechea Quality Meats of Liberty, North Carolina sells 100% grass-fed Angus beef right from the farm. You can’t get more farm-to-table freshness. They offer a variety of options for buying meat in bulk, from the whole cow to a quarter or even just ground beef patties. 

Orders can be placed online with the help of Zibster’s ecommerce tools. You can purchase in full or place a deposit based on the size of your order, and then select a pick-up location (at the farm or at a designated location in the Greensboro area). 

Casa Olaechea’s promise of dedicated freshness, 100% grass-fed, no hormones beef is great for people looking to buy local farm-to-table meats. They sell both to individuals and to businesses to sell in their markets and restaurants. This locally owned business delivers high-quality products to their customers and is powered by Zibster.

Who doesn’t like popcorn? If you’re local to North Carolina you may have seen Yadkin Valley Popcorn in your grocery store, it’s tasty! Besides selling through chain stores, Shallowford Farms sells their Yadkin Valley Popcorn through their website. 

When you venture to their website you’ll find you can buy gourmet ready-to-eat pre-packaged popcorn, unpopped kernels, and more.

The website is easy to navigate, and you can get their yummy popcorn shipped straight to your home or pay for it online and pick it up at the farm.

They also offer farm tours, which you can book via an online form that’s built right into their website. With multiple ways to sell their popcorn, Shallowford Farms is set up for success with the help of Zibster.

Whether you’re selling products directly to consumers, wholesale, or B2B, Zibster’s ecommerce tools allow you to take payments online with ease. Better yet, we don’t take any commission on your sales, you just pay your monthly membership and your merchant fees (these vary depending on what merchant you select). 

Zibster’s ecommerce tools not only work for bakeries and farms, we can help all types of businesses sell online.

From setting up a traditional online storefront to custom forms with payment and digital signature options, Zibster’s robust tools make running your business online simple and keeps it all connected.
