Online catalog and ordering for beauty and cosmetics.

A beauty product's buying decision rides on shade, skin type, ingredients, and trust. WhatsMenu gives you the storefront tools to surface all of that — variant stock per shade, ingredient and skin-type fields per item, gift bundles, refill economics, and a loyalty programme. Customers buy faster; you message less.

Where beauty businesses get questions instead of orders

Five frictions specific to beauty and cosmetics retail.

Shade matching from a 2D photo

Customers ask "which shade for my skin tone?" by DM. Without skin-tone reference photos and ingredient context on the product, every enquiry needs a manual reply.

Ingredients and allergens scattered across messages

"Is this paraben-free?" "Vegan?" "Pregnancy-safe?" The information exists on the bottle but not on your storefront. Each customer asks the same questions.

Gift sets that need to feel curated

Holiday gift bundles. Bridal kits. "Skincare starter set for oily skin." Each is a curated bundle of items at a fixed price. Building them as separate SKUs is messy.

Refill business that should be repeat

A face cream lasts 6 weeks. The customer should re-order. But there's no reminder, no loyalty discount on repeat, no "subscribe and save." They forget and re-order from a competitor.

Sample-with-purchase logic that needs structure

"Spend RM 150, get a free sample of X." "Buy 2 lipsticks, get a free remover." The promo logic exists in your head, not in the cart. Customers miss out on what they qualify for.

How WhatsMenu fits a beauty business

Five features that move you from chat-replies to qualified orders.

Stock management per shade or variant

Each shade is its own SKU with its own stock count. Lipstick in 5 shades = 5 stock counts. Sold-out shade auto-hides; in-stock shades stay buyable.

Custom item fields surface ingredients, skin type, allergen flags

Per item: skin type recommendation, key ingredients, paraben/sulphate-free flags, vegan/cruelty-free, pregnancy-safe. Visible before checkout. Self-qualifying customers reach the cart with fewer questions.

Bundles for gift sets and starter kits

Bridal kit = 1 cleanser + 1 toner + 1 serum + 1 moisturiser at RM 280. Sold as a single bundle line item. Stock auto-deducts from each component.

Loyalty points that reward refill behaviour

Customers earn points on every paid order; redeem for a discount on the next refill. They come back automatically — no email-based reminder needed.

Coupons handle "spend X, get Y" promo logic

Configure coupons with minimum-spend rules, free-item triggers, or percentage-off categories. The cart enforces the logic; customers don't miss what they qualify for.

How a beauty brand uses WhatsMenu through a launch

Tuesday a new lipstick line launches — 12 shades, each with its own SKU and stock. The product page shows skin-type recommendations and ingredient list per shade. By Friday two shades have sold out; auto-hidden, the other 10 keep selling. Saturday a customer browses the bridal kit bundle (1 cleanser + 1 toner + 1 serum + 1 moisturiser at a fixed price); buys it as a single line item; you ship the components. Sunday a regular customer (her 4th order) earns enough points for a 10% off coupon on her next purchase. Two weeks later she returns to refill the cleanser — applies the loyalty coupon, completes the order. Repeat business compounds; messaging volume drops.

Frequently asked questions

Can I sell different shades of the same product as variants?

Yes. Stock Management treats each shade as its own SKU with independent stock. The customer picks shade on the product page; sold-out shades auto-hide.

Can I show ingredients and skin-type recommendations on each item?

Yes. Custom Item Fields let you add per-item fields — ingredients, skin type, allergen flags (paraben-free, vegan, etc.), pregnancy-safe. Visible on the product page before the customer buys.

Can I sell gift sets as a single bundle?

Yes. Bundles let you group multiple items into a single SKU at a fixed price. Stock deducts from each component automatically.

How does WhatsMenu handle subscription / refill orders?

WhatsMenu doesn't enforce subscription billing yet — but Loyalty Points reward repeat behaviour, and coupons handle "20% off your next refill" mechanics. Many beauty brands run refill flows via WhatsApp broadcasts plus loyalty redemption rather than auto-billing.

Can I run "spend RM 150, get a free sample" promos?

Yes. Coupons support minimum-spend rules and free-item triggers. Configure once in Settings → Apps; the cart enforces the logic at checkout.

How does pricing work for a beauty brand using WhatsMenu?

Flat monthly subscription, no per-order fee. Payment gateway charges its standard processing fee (e.g. Stripe ~2.9%). Cheaper than Shopify's tiered subscription + per-transaction surcharge for any boutique-scale operation.
