Catalogue MakerCatalogue for grocery and kirana shops
What to put in the list, how to photograph it and how to take orders for this kind of shop.
How to organise it
A grocery catalogue is long and changes with the market, so keep it as a text price list that you can update in a minute rather than a glossy PDF. Group items by shelf: grains, pulses, oil, tea and sugar, snacks, cleaning. Put the pack size in the name, so "Atta 10 kg" and "Atta 5 kg" are separate lines.
An example list (made-up items and prices)
| Item | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Basmati rice 5 kg | ₹420 | Long grain, packed fresh |
| Toor dal 1 kg | ₹150 | Cleaned and packed |
| Sunflower oil 1 litre | ₹140 | Sealed pouch |
| Atta 10 kg | ₹440 | Whole wheat flour |
| Tea 500 g | ₹230 | Strong leaf tea |
| Sugar 1 kg | ₹48 | Fine white sugar |
Start from this example It fills the maker with these items. Replace them with yours.
Photos
Photos matter less for staples; the pack size and brand matter more. Use a photo only for new or special items, and keep the lighting clear, with the label facing the camera.
Words
Write the pack size, the brand and anything the customer needs to choose: "Sealed pouch", "Loose, weighed on order". Avoid claims such as "best quality" that you cannot prove.
Taking orders
Set a minimum order and a delivery area in the note, and say when orders are delivered. Customers on WhatsApp often send a handwritten list; the order link gives you a cleaner list with a total.
What to avoid
Quoting prices that change daily. Say "prices may change" and update the list when your supplier's rate changes.
The example in numbers
The example has 6 items. Priced items run from ₹48 to ₹440, and one of each would cost ₹1,428. The prices are made up. Use the target price and profit calculators on the seller profit section to set real ones from your own costs.
Before you share it
- Check every price and every spelling once more, on the phone a customer will use.
- Open the order link on your own phone and send yourself a test order.
- Put your hours and delivery area in the line under the shop name.
- Remove any item you cannot supply today.
- Save the catalogue file, so you can reload it next season.

Keep going
Photos stay in your own browser. The order link holds the item names, prices and descriptions but no photos, and orders go only to the shop's WhatsApp. Example items and prices are made up. No tax or food rules are stated here: check them where you live. Checked 14 November 2026.
