Step by step

How to sell coffee online in 6 steps.

  1. Pick a roast day and say it

    People buying specialty coffee care about freshness. Roast on fixed days, ship within a day or two, and say “roasted to order every Tuesday” on the home page and on every bag.

  2. Give each coffee its own page

    Origin, farm or co-op, process, altitude, variety and tasting notes, in the same order on every coffee. Buyers compare these, and they make your page more useful than a supermarket listing.

  3. Make grind and bag size options

    Whole bean, espresso, filter and French press as options on one product, with two or three bag sizes. Track stock per size so a sold-out large bag doesn’t close the small one.

  4. Start a subscription

    On the Growth plan, a “roaster’s choice” or a fixed coffee can be billed by Stripe every two or four weeks, with free trial days if you want them. Subscribers give you a roast volume you can plan around.

  5. Weigh real parcels before you set shipping

    One bag often goes as a small flat parcel, while a kilo or a two-pound bag needs a box. Weigh your common orders, set fixed rates that cover them, and add a free-shipping code above an order amount.

  6. Open a wholesale page

    Cafés, offices and restaurants buy by the kilo or the pound. List wholesale “price on request” and ask on the form for their weekly volume and what they brew with.

Built in

A shop made for coffee, not a blank template.

  • Grind, size and stock per option

    Each coffee is one product with grind and bag size as options, each with its own price and stock. Checkout stops when a size runs out, so you never sell beans you haven’t roasted.

  • Subscriptions billed by Stripe

    Weekly, every two weeks or monthly, on the Growth plan. Subscribers see their coffee in their account, and when they want a different grind they email you.

  • Café and office requests

    Wholesale products hide their price and cart button. Cafés send their volume and brewing setup through a form, and the request lands in your Inbox for you to quote.

  • Tax worked out at checkout

    Stripe Tax can calculate sales tax or VAT on each order once it’s active on your Stripe account, and business buyers can add their tax ID at checkout.

Before you start

Good to know

  • Roasting is food production

    In the UK and EU, roasting coffee to sell means registering as a food business. In the US, some states let small roasters work under cottage food rules and others need a license or a commercial space. Check before you sell the first bag.

  • Beans and gear can be taxed differently

    In many places coffee beans count as food with a lower or zero tax rate, while mugs, grinders and brewers are taxed at the standard rate. Check how this works where you sell, and ask an accountant if you’re unsure.

  • Valves and roast dates

    Fresh coffee releases gas for days after roasting, so use bags with a one-way valve. Put the roast date on the bag, not only a best-before date, because coffee buyers look for it first.

General information to help you get started, not legal advice. Rules differ by country, state and product, so check the ones that apply to you.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need a license to sell coffee online?

It depends where you roast. Most places treat roasting as food production, so you register or license your premises as a food business, and some US states let small roasters work from home under cottage food laws. Check with your state or local authority.

How do I set up a coffee subscription?

On the Growth plan, add a product as a subscription and choose how often Stripe bills it, such as every week, every two weeks or every month, with optional free trial days. Subscribers see it in their account.

Should I sell whole bean or ground coffee?

Offer both. Many home buyers don’t own a grinder, and grind as an option keeps one product per coffee. Recommend whole bean on the page for freshness and let them choose.

How fresh should coffee be when it arrives?

Many roasters aim for coffee to arrive within about a week of roasting and suggest drinking it within a month or so. Ship soon after you roast and put the roast date on every bag so customers can judge.

Do I need any technical skills?

No. You describe your business in your own words and Cornerrr builds the website. Afterwards you change things by clicking, or by asking the assistant in plain words.

How much does it cost?

Building and previewing your website is free, with no card needed. To go live and take payments, choose a plan from $19 a month. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial; a card is needed to start it.
