Sugar Pop

From Instagram cake-pop DMs to paid custom boxes

Sugar Pop

Testimonial

Custom cake-pop orders used to mean a dozen Instagram DMs before we even knew if they were serious. Now every party dozen or Sweet Start box is a ticket — paid before we bake. We’re not chasing people anymore.

After 1 week on IntoPaid

Cake-pop DMs stopped dying in Instagram. Sugar Pop turned the same custom and market traffic into paid Shopify orders — and closed customers who used to ghost after the quote.

The challenge

Custom cake-pop DMs don't wait for bake day

Sugar Pop (@mysugarpopshop) makes themed cake pops for markets, teacher gifts, and party boxes. Peak season means Instagram DMs for custom shapes — apples, notebooks, pencils — while the booth is still open and the oven is already booked.

  • Custom cake-pop orders arrived as Instagram DMs mixed with giveaway replies and market follow-ups
  • Themed collections needed deposits before dipping day — but quotes lived in chat threads
  • Half-dozen and dozen asks got lost between the booth, DMs, and the bake schedule

With IntoPaid

Forward the DM. Get paid before you dip.

  • Every custom cake-pop ask becomes a numbered ticket
  • Quotes and deposits run through Shopify — same catalog as the shop
  • Paid orders land on the pickup calendar before bake day

Market booths and custom boxes — quoted, then paid

Market days

Pop-up booths bring foot traffic and follow-up DMs. IntoPaid turns “can you do a dozen for Saturday?” into a ticket and a Shopify invoice before the next event.

Custom collections

Themed sets like the Sweet Start Collection — apple, notebook, and pencil pops — get quoted from the catalog, paid on Shopify, and locked for pickup.
