    {
      "question": "Which app should a farmers’ market baker start with?",
      "answer": "Baketly is our featured pick for costing each item and planning a market as an event. Choose BakeCost instead if offline orders and Android access are priorities."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I price a batch without a paid subscription?",
      "answer": "BakeCost documents free core recipe costing without an account. Baketly is also listed free on Wix. Paid storefronts, payment processing and other extras are separate questions."
    },
    {
      "question": "What is the difference between margin and markup?",
      "answer": "Margin divides profit by the selling price; markup divides it by cost. A $2 cookie sold for $3 has a 33.3% margin and a 50% markup before any omitted expenses."
    },
    {
      "question": "What if only some of the batch sells?",
      "answer": "Divide the batch cost by expected units sold. A $36 batch costs $1.50 per cookie if all 24 sell, but $1.80 per cookie if only 20 sell. Add stall fees and payment fees before choosing a market price."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can customers order without installing an app?",
      "answer": "Bakesy says customers can order through its shop page without installing the business app. BakeCost Pro also offers a shareable catalog; the baker confirms the order and arranges payment."
