How it works

  1. Tell us what you make

    What you make and what you use now. A spreadsheet and a Square account is a fine answer.

  2. Get a short plan

    Keep this, replace that, connect these, and the cost.

  3. We set it up

    Setup and migration done for you. You approve before anything goes live.

  4. Run it or hand it off

    Take it from there yourself or keep us on for the upkeep.

A good fit if

  • You make syrup in spring and sell it all year
  • Wholesale buyers order by email and text
  • Glass breakage eats into your shipping margin

Questions

What software do maple syrup producers use?

Most small sugarmakers use a spreadsheet or notebook for sugarbush records, Square at the sugarhouse and markets, and Shopify or Etsy online. We connect those so one count covers every grade and bottle size.

How do I ship maple syrup?

Plastic jugs ship most easily; glass needs dividers or molded inserts and a sturdy box. Charge by weight, since syrup is heavy, and test a box before the holidays.

How should I list maple syrup grades online?

List by grade and flavor as the label shows, such as Golden Delicate or Dark Robust, with bottle size as a separate option so buyers can filter by either.

Can I sell my syrup on Madeline's?

Yes. Madeline's lists independent makers on commission, with each maker shipping its own orders.
