Session booking
Timed with capacity.
Pick-your-own booking software for orchards
Orchards: pick-your-own sessions booked by the fruit. Sessions, seasons and farm gate sales.
Crowds on the first sunny weekend, sessions full while fruit runs out and bookings by Facebook comment. We build picking session systems for orchards.
Looking for pick-your-own booking software?
Pick-your-own depends on what's ripe and how many people can pick. We build session bookings that open and close with the fruit.
Wollopit builds online stores, subscriptions, wholesale portals and websites for orchards around how you actually make and sell. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to making the good stuff.

Does your orchard have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your orchard: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things orchards ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can we close sessions if the fruit runs out?
Yes. Sessions can be paused instantly with booked pickers notified.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your orchard. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can you work with our existing online store?
Usually, yes. We can add subscriptions, wholesale ordering or better freight to what you've got. If it's holding you back we'll tell you honestly whether a rebuild makes more sense.
Can retail and wholesale share the same stock?
Yes. One stock count feeds your website, markets, cellar door or shopfront and trade orders, so you never sell what's already gone.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most orchards we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
