Catalogue for sweets and snacks
What to put in the list, how to photograph it and how to take orders for this kind of shop.
How to organise it
Sweets sell in boxes and by weight, with a rush before festivals. Make a regular list and a festival list, and update the festival list a few weeks before.
An example list (made-up items and prices)
| Item | Price | Description |

| Kaju katli 250 g | ₹330 | Pure cashew, fresh |
| Besan laddu 500 g | ₹280 | Made in ghee |

| Gift box small | ₹450 | Four kinds of sweets |
| Samosa (6 pieces) | ₹90 | Hot, daily from 4 pm |
| Festival hamper | Message us the budget |
Start from this example It fills the maker with these items. Replace them with yours.
Photos
Photograph sweets in daylight on a clean plate or in the box, with a hand or a ribbon for scale. Show the box closed and open.
Words
Name the main ingredient and the weight. Say how long it stays fresh and how it should be kept: "best within 7 days, keep in a cool dry place".
Taking orders
Ask for the festival date and quantity early. Take an advance for large orders, and say your cut-off day for delivery before the festival.
What to avoid
Claims of purity or health that you cannot prove, and old stock sold as fresh. Check the food licence and labelling rules where you live.
The example in numbers
The example has 6 items. Priced items run from ₹90 to ₹450, and one of each would cost ₹1,310. 1 item (festival hamper) has no price, because the price depends on the request: customers are asked to message the shop. 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.

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.
