Frequently Asked Questions for Home Food Cooks

Do I need an LLC or registered business?

No. Most cottage food bakers and backyard pitmasters operate as Sole Proprietors. When Stripe asks for your business type, simply select Individual / Sole Proprietorship.

When do funds land in my account?

If you link an eligible debit card, payouts are deposited instantly. If you link a checking account, deposits transfer automatically on a standard 2-business-day rolling schedule.

Does lil.sale take a cut of my sales?

On the Pro Plan ($9.99/mo), lil.sale charges a $0 platform fee on all orders. Standard Stripe credit card processing (2.9% + 30¢) applies directly.
