What lands in your chat

Simple setup

## Set up ordering in three steps

If you can send a WhatsApp message, you can run this. No developer, no integration work.

01

### Add your products or dishes

Build a catalog with photos, prices, categories, and options like size or add-ons. Import an existing PDF or spreadsheet if you already have one.

02

### Switch ordering on and enter your number

One toggle in the catalog editor turns the cart on. Choose WhatsApp or Telegram and enter the number or username orders should land in.

03

### Share the link or print the QR code

Put it in your Instagram bio, send it in a WhatsApp broadcast, or print a QR code for the table, the counter, or the shop window.

What you get

## Everything the order needs, nothing you have to maintain

Ordering is part of the catalog, so there is no second system to keep in sync with your prices.

### A cart in every catalog

Customers tap items into a running order, adjust quantities, and see a live total before they send anything.

### Product options included

Sizes, flavours, add-ons, and variants come through on their own line, so a "Large, no onions" never gets lost in translation.

### WhatsApp or Telegram

Pick whichever channel your customers already use. The order arrives as a normal chat message either way.

### Nothing to install

No app, no account, no password. Customers open a link in their browser and order in under a minute.

### No commission per order

You pay a flat monthly price for the catalog. What the customer pays you for the order stays with you.

### Change anything, instantly

Sold out, price change, new special: edit it from your phone and the next customer sees the update immediately.

## Chat ordering, not a delivery platform

Worth being clear about the trade-off: Nice Catalogs takes the order, it does not take the payment. For most small businesses that is the point.

| | Nice Catalogs ordering | Ordering & delivery platforms |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Setup time | Minutes, from your phone | Onboarding calls, menu build-out |
| Cost per order | None | Commission or per-order fee, typically |
| Where the order lands | Your WhatsApp or Telegram chat | A separate dashboard or tablet |
| Customer needs an app | No, just a browser | Often yes, or an account |
| Card payment at checkout | No, you agree payment in the chat | Yes |

Who orders this way

## Built for businesses that already sell over chat

Takeaway, room service, wholesale lists, salon bookings, weekly grocery runs. If the order already arrives as a message, this just makes it legible.
