Sharing your storefront link
Your Pekkish storefront has its own web address. Get it in front of customers and orders start arriving.
Your storefront URL
Every Pekkish shop gets a subdomain in the form:
https://yourshop.pekkish.co.uk
The first part is your slug, made from your shop's name when you sign up. If your shop is called "Francomb's" and you took the slug francombs, your storefront is at francombs.pekkish.co.uk.
This URL is live the moment you publish your storefront. You can share it anywhere — social media bios, email signatures, a printed sign in the shop.
On Google: the "Order online" button
When someone searches your shop's name, Google shows your Business Profile: your hours, your address, your photos. You can add your Pekkish link there so the profile shows a blue Order online button, and a link to your menu. For most food businesses this is the single best place for the link: it's where your regulars already look.
You'll need to be signed in to Google as the owner or a manager of your Business Profile. Then search for your shop's name on Google, and on your profile:
- The Order online button. Choose Food ordering (sometimes shown as "Pickup and delivery"), then Add a link, and paste your Pekkish address. Mark it as preferred for pickup, and for delivery if you deliver.
- Your menu link. Choose Edit profile, then Business information, Contact and Menu link, and paste the same address. Your Pekkish page is your menu.
- Your website, if you don't have another one: in the same Contact section, add the Pekkish address as your website.
Google can take a few days to show a change. Its own guide to ordering links has more detail if the options look different on your profile.
Adding it to your website
If you already have a website (a basic WordPress site, a Squarespace page, anything), the easiest integration is a prominent "Order online" button that links to your Pekkish URL. No need to embed or duplicate — just a link.
Use it in your top navigation, your homepage hero, and your "Contact" page. Three places is enough; more and it gets noisy.
QR codes and posters
You don't need a QR generator — your shop admin has one. Share & promote gives you your storefront's QR code and a printable A4 poster with your name, the code and your address written out in words. Free, already pointing at the right place, and nothing to copy and paste wrongly.
Useful for:
- A sign by the counter so walk-ins can order ahead next time
- The back of business cards or loyalty stamp cards
- A leaflet you slip into delivered orders ("Order again, easy")
If you're putting a code somewhere you'd like to measure — a particular flyer drop, a poster in one café — make a campaign link for it first, and its QR code will tell you how many people used that one. See Knowing what brings customers in.
Social media
Put your storefront URL in your Instagram and Facebook bios — that's the permanent one, and it doesn't need measuring.
For a post or an ad you're spending money on, use a campaign link instead so you can see afterwards whether it sold anything: Knowing what brings customers in.
Email signatures
Add a one-line "Order online: yourshop.pekkish.co.uk" to every email you send. Customers reading your reply are already in the buying mindset.
Sending a proper mailout rather than a signature? Give it a campaign link so you can see what it brought in.
Custom domain (Pro plan)
On the Pro plan you can connect your own domain — e.g. orders.yourshop.com — to your Pekkish storefront. Customers see your URL only; Pekkish handles SSL and hosting invisibly. Set it up under Settings → General → Custom domain.
Tips
- Keep your slug short and memorable — easier to type and say out loud
- Use the same slug everywhere (Instagram handle, domain, signage)
- You can change your slug under Settings → General, but only once every 30 days. The old address keeps sending people to your shop for a while afterwards, but reprint anything with the old address or QR code on it
