Catalogue MakerCatalogue for stationery and gift 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
Stationery sells in two seasons: school opening and festivals. Make a catalogue for each: a "back to school" list by class, and a "gifts and hampers" list with photos, because gifts are chosen by eye.
An example list (made-up items and prices)
| Item | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Notebook 200 pages | ₹60 | Ruled, hard cover |
| Pen box (10) | ₹100 | Blue ink gel pens |
| Geometry box | ₹120 | Steel compass and set squares |
| Gift hamper small | ₹499 | Mug, chocolate and card |
| Birthday balloons set | ₹150 | Pack of 30 |
| Project chart paper | ₹15 | Per sheet, many colours |
Start from this example It fills the maker with these items. Replace them with yours.
Photos
Photograph gifts as they will look when given: wrapped, with a ribbon. For school supplies, one photo of a set laid out neatly is enough.
Words
For school items, name the class or use: "for class 6 to 8". For gifts, say what is in the hamper and the occasion. Never list prices for items you cannot restock.
Taking orders
Offer bulk prices in the note for schools and offices, and say how many days a custom hamper takes. Take a small advance for personalised gifts.
What to avoid
Photos of items you do not actually stock. If an item is out, remove it the same day.
The example in numbers
The example has 6 items. Priced items run from ₹15 to ₹499, and one of each would cost ₹944. 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.
