🍪 CRUMB ALERT: Browser Tip for eComm + App Users 🍪

We’ve seen an issue pop up when the BakeSmart app and your eComm store are open in the same browser at the same time—you might run into odd behavior, like not being able to click into products. This has to do with the way we use cookies to support better SEO for your store (gotta get that Google love!).

🍩Quick Fix: To avoid this, open your eComm site in an incognito or private window, and keep the app in your regular browser. This keeps everything working smoothly and avoids confusion between tabs.

👉 Already stuck? Just hit refresh on the browser tab that’s acting up, and it should bounce back to normal.

We're already working on a longer-term solution behind the scenes. In the meantime, this simple tip should help you stay on track without missing a beat.

Thanks for growing with us—and for being the best part of BakeSmart!
