Online catalog and ordering for pet stores.

Pet owners are the most loyal repeat customers in retail — same kibble, same brand, same time every month. WhatsMenu gives you the storefront tools to make repeat ordering effortless: stock that stays accurate, loyalty that rewards return visits, and bundles for new-pet-owner starter kits.

Where pet store retail gets repetitive (in a bad way)

Five frictions specific to running a pet supplies business online.

Pet food stock that's heavy and ships from elsewhere

A 15kg sack of dog food is heavy. You don't hold all brands and sizes. Stock changes weekly. Customers see "in stock" online → arrive to find it backordered. Trust gone.

Repeat customers who don't feel rewarded

Same customer, same brand of cat food, every 4 weeks. They've given you 100 orders. They get no recognition. The moment a competitor offers a 10% repeat-buyer discount, they switch.

New-pet-owner orders that need a starter kit

New puppy = food + bed + toys + leash + bowls. The customer wants "everything I need" but you sell each as a separate SKU. They hunt around, miss things, give up.

Fresh items (frozen food, treats) with limited shelf life

Some items are perishable. You stock 30 a day, hope they sell. If you don't cap orders, you risk running out by 10am or having unsold stock at end-of-day.

Specialty/breed-specific items spread across many SKUs

Senior-dog food. Hypoallergenic. Grain-free. Customers ask "what's right for my labrador?" by DM. Each conversation takes time you don't have during peak.

How WhatsMenu fits a pet store

Five features matched to a pet store's real workflow.

Stock management per item and variant

Each food brand × size × flavour combination has its own stock count. Sold out → auto-hidden. Customers see only what you actually have. Trust restored.

Loyalty points reward repeat buyers

Customers earn points on every paid order; redeem for a discount on the next refill. The cat-food customer comes back twice as often because the next order saves them money.

Bundles for new-pet-owner starter kits

"Puppy starter kit" = food + bed + leash + bowl + toy at a small bundle discount. Sold as one SKU; stock deducts from each component. New customers don't hunt; they buy.

Scheduled availability for fresh / frozen items

Fresh raw food made daily. Cap at 30 per day. Once the cap hits, the item shows "fully booked for today." Customers see what's available; you don't oversell perishables.

Custom item fields surface breed/size/diet recommendations

Per food: breed size (toy / small / medium / large), age (puppy / adult / senior), diet flags (grain-free / hypoallergenic / weight-management). Customers self-select; fewer "what's right for my dog?" enquiries.

How a pet store uses WhatsMenu through a typical month

A new puppy owner buys the "Puppy starter kit" bundle on Saturday — food, bed, leash, bowl, toy as one SKU at a small discount. Three weeks later they reorder the same food brand; loyalty points kick in for a small discount. The store stays accurate on stock — when the 15kg Royal Canin sells out, it auto-hides; when restocked it auto-appears. Daily fresh-food cap (30 a day) prevents overselling perishables. New customers self-qualify by breed size and diet flag; the messaging volume to "what should I feed my Persian cat?" drops 60%. Repeat customers stay because their loyalty balance compounds.

Frequently asked questions

Can I track stock per food brand, flavour, and size?

Yes. Stock Management treats each combination as its own SKU. Royal Canin Adult Chicken 15kg vs Royal Canin Adult Salmon 15kg are independent. Sold out → auto-hides.

Can I run a repeat-buyer rewards programme?

Yes. Loyalty Points awards points on every paid order; redeemable for discount at next checkout. Configure earn rate (e.g. 1 point per RM 1) and redemption (100 points = RM 5 off) in Settings → Apps.

Can I sell starter kits as a single bundle?

Yes. Bundles let you group multiple items into a single SKU at a fixed price. Stock auto-deducts from each component. New customers buy "Puppy starter kit" once; you ship 5 items.

How do I handle perishable / fresh items with limited daily stock?

Use Daily Limit to cap orders per day on fresh items. Set fresh raw food to 30/day; once the cap hits, the item shows "fully booked for today" and reopens at midnight.

Can I show breed-specific or age-specific filters?

Yes. Use Custom Item Fields to add breed-size and age tags per food item; create category pages or filters that surface them. Customers self-qualify on the storefront.

How does pricing work for a pet store using WhatsMenu?

Flat monthly subscription, no per-order fee. Payment gateway processing fee only (e.g. Stripe ~2.9%) on online orders. For repeat-buyer-driven businesses, the savings vs. marketplace platforms compound fast.
