Online catalog and ordering for garden centers.

A garden center sells living things and the tools to keep them alive. WhatsMenu gives you stock per plant variant, structured care info (sun/water/soil needs), bundles for new-gardener starter kits, loyalty for repeat buyers, and delivery integration for heavy bags of soil. Built for the way garden businesses actually operate.

Where garden centers get stuck online

Five frictions specific to running a garden center or nursery online.

Plant stock that's alive and changes daily

You sold the last Monstera deliciosa yesterday. The site still says "in stock". Customer drives 30 minutes only to find it gone. Trust gone too.

Plant care info scattered across messages

"How often do I water this?" "Indoor or outdoor?" "How much sun?" "Cat-safe?" Without structured care fields per plant, every enquiry takes a manual reply.

New-gardener starter kits

New plant parents need a pot, soil, plant, fertilizer, and a guide. Each is a separate SKU. Without a starter-kit bundle, they hunt for items, miss things, and give up.

Heavy items (soil, plants) that need delivery

20kg bag of potting soil. 50cm tall fiddle-leaf fig. Customer can't carry these. Without delivery integration, customers default to local shops with delivery.

Repeat customers buying refill supplies

A plant parent comes back monthly for fertilizer, pots, and new plants. They've been with you a year. They get no recognition or loyalty discount; they could switch any time.

How WhatsMenu fits a garden center

Five features matched to garden center operations.

Stock management per plant and variant

Each plant size (small / medium / large) has its own SKU and stock count. Sold out → auto-hides. Customers see only what you actually have. No more wasted trips.

Custom item fields surface care info

Per plant: light needs (full sun / partial shade / indirect), water frequency, soil type, growth size, indoor/outdoor, pet-safe flag. Customers self-qualify; "is this cat-safe?" enquiries drop.

Bundles for starter kits

"New plant parent kit" = 1 plant + 1 pot + 1 soil bag + 1 fertilizer + care guide PDF, at a small bundle discount. New gardeners buy once; they have everything they need.

Loyalty points for repeat customers

Customers earn points on every paid order; redeem for discount on next purchase. Plant parents come back every month for fertilizer and refills; loyalty points compound.

Reviews build trust for online plant buying

Plant photos from real buyers ("3 months later, my Monstera is thriving!") show on each plant page. Trust signal that converts hesitant first-time online plant buyers.

How a garden center uses WhatsMenu through a typical month

A first-time plant parent browses your "Indoor plants" page — sees Monstera, Pothos, Snake plant with structured care info (low-light tolerant, water weekly, pet-safe). She picks "Pothos starter kit" bundle (plant + pot + soil + fertilizer + care guide PDF) at a small discount. Checkout includes delivery for the heavy soil bag. Three months later she's back for new fertilizer and a second plant — loyalty points apply. Six months later she leaves a review with a photo of her now-massive Pothos. Future first-time buyers see that review and convert.

Frequently asked questions

Can I track stock for plants by size and variety?

Yes. Stock Management treats each plant size (small / medium / large) as its own SKU with independent stock. Sold out → auto-hides. Customers see only what you have.

Can I show plant care info on each item?

Yes. Custom Item Fields let you add per-plant fields — light needs, water frequency, soil type, growth size, indoor/outdoor, pet-safe. Visible on the product page before the customer buys.

Can I sell starter kit bundles?

Yes. Bundles let you group plant + pot + soil + fertilizer + care guide into one SKU at a small discount. Stock auto-deducts from each component.

How do I handle heavy delivery items (soil bags, large plants)?

Connect Lalamove or Detrack for delivery. Configure shipping rates by item weight or order total. Customer picks delivery at checkout; you fulfil with the integrated courier.

Can I run a repeat-buyer loyalty programme?

Yes. Loyalty Points awards points on every paid order; redeemable at next checkout for discount or store credit. Configure earn/redeem rates in Settings → Apps.

How does pricing work for a garden center using WhatsMenu?

Flat monthly subscription, no per-order fee. Payment gateway processing fee on online orders only. For repeat-buyer-driven businesses, the savings vs marketplace platforms compound.
