1. What is it?
A WhatsApp catalogue for thrift stores is a digital showcase for your one-of-a-kind pieces. Each item gets a photo, price, and size. Customers browse your selection, choose what they want, and send the order to your WhatsApp. Thrift stores move fast—when something sells, you hide it in seconds. No more "sorry, that one just sold" after a customer spent 10 minutes choosing.
One link replaces sending 20 photos in a row. Perfect for vintage shops, second-hand boutiques, and anyone selling unique pieces on Instagram or WhatsApp.
2. How it works
- Snap and list: Take a photo, set price and size. Each piece goes live in seconds. No bulk upload needed.
- Organise by type: Dresses, jackets, accessories. Or by size, colour, or new arrivals. Customers find what they want.
- Share the link: One link for your entire store. Instagram bio, WhatsApp, or QR at the counter.
- Receive orders: Customers choose, tap \"Send order.\" You get a clear list.
- Hide when sold: Item sold? Hide it instantly. Your catalogue stays accurate. No double sales.
3. Benefits
- List fast: One photo, one price. Online in seconds. No forms or spreadsheets.
- One-of-a-kind: Each piece is unique. Your catalogue reflects that—no bulk templates.

4. Illustrative example
Before (illustrative): Rita runs a vintage boutique in Porto. When she posted new pieces on Instagram, 30 DMs arrived: "How much for the denim jacket?" "Do you have size M?" She sent photos one by one. Sometimes she sold the same piece to two people. She lost track of what was sold.
After (illustrative): Rita created her WhatsApp catalogue. One link in her bio. Customers open it, see all pieces with photos and prices, choose, send order. She receives a clear list. When something sells, she hides it. No double sales. She posts less, sells more.
5. Who is it for?
