Catalogue MakerHow to show prices in your catalogue
Clear prices stop half of the questions you get every day. Be simple, be consistent and keep the list up to date.
One price per item
Show a single price for each item and the unit it is for: per piece, per kg, per box. If a price depends on the size or the model, say so in the description and give the lowest price or the most common one.
Round numbers
Prices that end in 0 or 9 are easy to read and to add up. Customers do not mind 199 or 200, but they mind 187.50 in a chat. Round to a number that keeps your margin; the target price calculator will tell you what the margin is at each price.
Offers and discounts
If you give an offer, show the old price and the new price, and say until when. A "sale" that is always on loses trust. Check a discount against your margin first: see what a discount really costs.
Bulk prices
A short line such as "10 or more: 10 percent off" is enough. Put it in the note under the shop name, not in each item.
Delivery and extra charges
Say delivery charges and the minimum order in the note at the top. A surprise delivery charge at the end is the fastest way to lose an order.
Taxes
Whether your prices include tax, and what tax applies, depends on your country and your registration. This site does not state any tax rules. Say plainly in the note whether the prices include tax, and ask an accountant if you are unsure. See the GST inclusive price calculator for the arithmetic of adding and removing tax.
Prices that change
If your costs move daily, keep a text price list and write "prices may change; please confirm when you order". Put the date at the top of the list, and update it when a price changes.
Common questions
Should I show prices at all?
Yes for most items. A catalogue without prices gets a message for each item. Leave the price empty only for custom work, where the price depends on the job.
Can I keep different prices for regular customers?
Many shops do. Keep the catalogue for the public price and give regulars their price in a message.

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.
