Why kirana and grocery shops need a WhatsApp catalog

Customers already message their regular kirana with handwritten lists — but items get missed, brands get confused, and prices drift from what is on the shelf. A WhatsApp grocery catalog turns your inventory into a browsable menu with one structured order message and no delivery-app commission.

  • Typed grocery lists in WhatsApp are error-prone for staff and customers.
  • Paper rate cards and PDFs cannot keep up with daily price changes.
  • Aggregator apps charge commission and push discount wars.
  • Regular customers want the same shop on mobile without a new app.

How a WhatsApp grocery catalog works

Three steps from product catalog to order on your WhatsApp number — customers stay in the browser until checkout.

  1. 1

    Add your grocery inventory online

    Create categories (staples, snacks, household), add products with photos, pack sizes, and prices. Scale up to thousands of SKUs over time.

  2. 2

    Share with regulars and the neighbourhood

    Send the link on WhatsApp broadcast lists, Status, society groups, or print a QR at the counter. Everyone sees current prices.

  3. 3

    Fulfill from a clear WhatsApp order

    Customers check out; WhatsApp opens with a pre-filled list. They tap Send. You pack, confirm total, collect UPI or cash, and deliver or hand over.

Features built for grocery WhatsApp catalogs

Everything a kirana, mini-mart, or specialty food shop needs to take repeat orders on WhatsApp without a heavy e-commerce platform.

  • Large product capacity

    Paid plans support up to 10,000 products — enough for full kirana ranges, dry fruits, and fresh categories combined.

  • Pack sizes and variants

    List 500 g, 1 kg, and brand variants so customers pick the right SKU before they message you.

  • Photos and categories

    Help customers find staples faster with aisle-style categories and product images where useful.

  • Delivery and pickup settings

    Configure fees, minimum order, and prep time so the WhatsApp message includes fulfilment details.

  • Orders dashboard + Google Sheets

    Track orders in WhatsStore and optionally export to Google Sheets for billing or supplier reordering.

  • No aggregator commission

    You keep the margin. WhatsStore does not process payments or take a percentage of grocery sales.

WhatsApp catalog for grocery — FAQ

What is a WhatsApp catalog for kirana shops?

It is an online product list customers open on their phone via a link or QR. They add groceries to a cart and send a structured order to your WhatsApp. WhatsStore is a separate web catalog and is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta.

Can I list thousands of grocery items?

Yes. Paid plans support up to 10,000 products per store with categories, variants (pack size), and up to six images per item.

Does WhatsStore deliver groceries or charge commission?

No. WhatsStore is software for your catalog and WhatsApp orders. You handle packing, delivery, and payment collection. There is 0% commission on sales.

How do customers pay?

WhatsStore does not process payments. After you confirm the order on WhatsApp, customers pay you directly — commonly UPI, cash on delivery, or bank transfer.

How do orders reach my WhatsApp?

At checkout, WhatsApp opens with a pre-filled message listing items and totals. The customer must tap Send for the order to arrive on your number.

Can I update prices every day?

Yes. Edit products in the dashboard; your public catalog updates immediately — no need to resend rate cards in chat.

Can I offer home delivery and counter pickup?

Yes. Enable delivery, pickup, or both and set fees or minimum order so the choice appears in the WhatsApp message.

Do customers need to install an app?

No. They browse in a mobile browser and use WhatsApp to send the order — no separate grocery app or customer account required.

Is this the same as WhatsApp Business catalog?

No. WhatsStore is a browser storefront with cart checkout that then opens WhatsApp. It is not the native in-chat product catalog from Meta.

Can I share the catalog in WhatsApp groups?

Yes. Share one HTTPS link in society groups, broadcast lists, or Status. Optional custom domain keeps the link on-brand.

How much does a grocery WhatsApp catalog cost?

WhatsStore offers annual plans with a 7-day trial (subject to published terms). See homepage pricing for yearly rates in your market.

Do I need WhatsApp Business?

You need a WhatsApp number that receives orders. WhatsApp Business is recommended for shops; WhatsStore remains an independent platform.
