What is FoodStorm’s new Photocake functionality?

FoodStorm’s new Photocake functionality provides retailers with the ability to accept image uploads from their customers for custom cakes. Many retailers who sell custom cakes give their customers the ability to have an edible photo printed on their cake to make their celebration extra special. FoodStorm now supports this process by allowing online customers to upload their desired image when ordering from a retailer’s FoodStorm e-commerce storefront or allowing retailer team members to manually upload an image to a custom cake order in their FoodStorm admin system when editing an order. FoodStorm also provides image validation for this process to ensure correct file uploading.

Some key features of FoodStorm’s Photocakes include:

• Ability to add an image upload option to a configurable item
• Ability to charge a surcharge for image uploads
• Ability to add an image upload option to a configurable item template
• Supportive messaging during photo upload process to aid order flow (ie unsupported file type or file size issue)
• Image size validation to ensure files too small or too big aren’t uploaded
