Account and safety

Account, safety, and product responsibility

Understand the line between VibeKitchen's ordering tools and your responsibilities as the food seller.

Who handles what

VibeKitchen helps with the ordering side: storefront, menu, checkout, orders, pickup details, payments, customers, and reporting.

You handle the food business side: what you choose to sell, how you prepare and fulfill it, how you communicate with buyers, and which local rules apply to your kitchen.

  • VibeKitchen helps buyers order from your storefront; it does not aggregate you into a marketplace.
  • VibeKitchen gives you tools and research links; it does not validate permits, certify compliance, or grant legal approval to sell food.
  • Stripe handles secure payment-account setup and verification; VibeKitchen does not guarantee that Stripe will approve a payment account.

Useful research paths

For broader business and local-rule background, use Learn and State Guides. They are research starting points, not legal advice, provider requirements, or permission to sell a specific food in a specific place.

Use another Apple or Google sign-in

Self-service code linking can connect a new Apple or Google sign-in to an existing email-and-password profile. Choose Link an existing account before creating another storefront; if the account is eligible, VibeKitchen sends a six-digit code to its verified email.

Apple-to-Google or Google-to-Apple linking for an existing social-only profile requires support. Do not create a second populated profile; email support so the sign-in methods and storefront can be reviewed safely.

If you use Sign in with Apple

If you signed in with Apple and later turn off VibeKitchen’s access — from your Apple device under Settings → your name → Sign-In & Security → Sign in with Apple, or at account.apple.com — Apple tells VibeKitchen, and what happens depends on how else you can sign in.

If Apple is your only way to sign in, turning off that access removes your VibeKitchen account, the same as deleting it: your storefront closes and, if you still have an unpaid Stripe balance, that account closes too. Let any balance pay out to your bank first. If you also have a password or Google sign-in on the account, only the Apple sign-in is removed and your account stays.
