Your community is your customer.
Mangoes by the case. Tamales for the holidays. Mooncakes before the festival. Sarees from your last trip. Kimchi made fresh weekly. The cake only you know how to make. Banh mi every Sunday. Pickled lemons for Eid. The jewelry your neighbors keep asking about.Turn it into a link. Drop it in your community. Get paid.
A note for you
You’ve been told you need a real business to sell.You don’t.
The neighbor who brings back fruit cases from the wholesaler. The friend who hand-stitches clothes for special occasions. The home cook whose herbs and pantry staples are better than any store’s. The chef everyone begs for the holiday-season specialty. The maker whose pieces fly out of the spare bedroom every weekend.You already have a craft. You already have customers. The only thing missing was a way to take orders without losing your evenings to text threads.
ChalPronto is the missing piece, built for the way you already work.

Why ChalPronto
Built for the way you already sell.
Not a marketplace. Not a delivery app. Not a website builder. Something that fits how a side hustle actually runs.
Your responsibilities
We’re the storefront tool.You’re still the seller.
ChalPronto helps you run your shop. Like a farmer’s-market booth or a craft-fair table, you own your sales — and you own the responsibilities that come with them.
Taxes are yours to file
Track your sales (we make this easy in the dashboard) and report income on your tax return — Schedule C in the US for most sole proprietors. We don't issue 1099 forms for cash or P2P sales because that money never flows through us. If you accept card payments via Stripe, Stripe issues the 1099-K to you directly when you cross IRS thresholds.
Sales tax for card orders is handled
When customers pay by card through ChalPronto, we use Stripe Tax to compute and collect sales tax automatically. For cash orders, you're responsible for any sales-tax collection your state requires — we treat cash like a walk-in sale.
Local laws apply to your craft
Cottage food laws, business licenses, food-safety regs, professional licenses — these vary by state and city. ChalPronto doesn't add new requirements, but we don't exempt you from yours. Check your state's Department of Agriculture (food) or licensing board.
What you can't sell here
No alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, firearms, pharmaceuticals, age-restricted goods, counterfeit items, or anything illegal in your jurisdiction. The full list is in our Terms of Service. Violations result in immediate account termination.
Read the full Terms of Service for the legal version. Have questions about your specific situation? Talk to a CPA or a small-business attorney — we can't give you tax or legal advice.
Common questions
The honest answers.
Do I need a business license to use ChalPronto?
ChalPronto itself doesn't require one — you sign up with your name, your email and a card for your subscription, and no license, SSN or bank link. But your state, county, and product category may require licenses or permits independent of us. Some examples: cottage food laws (state-specific rules for selling food made at home), state resale licenses (for reselling wholesale produce or goods), FDA registration (for some food and supplement categories), and professional licenses (for cosmetology, etc.). These are between you and the regulator. Check with your state's Department of Agriculture, Department of Revenue, or local Small Business Development Center for what applies to your specific situation.
Do I need to onboard Stripe? SSN?
No. If you take cash, Venmo, Cash App or Zelle, you never need to set up Stripe payouts — the only card we ask for is the one that pays your subscription. Add Stripe payouts later only if you want to accept card payments.
How much does it cost?
One flat subscription. Monthly and Annual start with a 14-day trial, nothing charged until it ends; the Limited Offer is charged when you sign up. ChalPronto takes no commission on any sale — card, cash, or P2P. Card payments carry only Stripe's standard processing fee, paid directly to Stripe.
Can I sell different things — food AND clothes AND services?
Yes. You can run multiple menus from one account — one for mangoes, one for sarees, one for weekend catering. Each has its own link.
My customers speak Tamil / Hindi / Telugu / Marathi / Bengali / Gujarati. Will they get a confusing English page?
The buttons and checkout are in English today. Everything you write yourself — item names, descriptions, notes to your customers — appears exactly as you type it, in any script, so you can list in the language your regulars actually read.
What if I run out of stock mid-day?
Set an inventory count on each item. The storefront shows "Only 3 left" badges and locks at "Sold out" automatically. Never oversell again.
How do I get paid before pickup?
Add your Venmo / Cash App / Zelle handles. Customers see one-tap payment buttons with the exact order amount pre-filled. They pay before walking over. You confirm and hand the goods.
The next person who messages you asking“how much for a box?” —just send them your link.
No more lost orders in DM threads. No more “sorry I forgot to message you back.” No more selling yourself short because there’s no easy way to charge.Your craft deserves a real way to reach people.
Set up in minutes. A 14-day trial on Monthly and Annual. No platform fees, and no commission on any sale. Your local licensing rules (food safety, cottage food, FDA, resale) apply between you and the regulator.
