An online catalog for books, toys and pet supplies
In a book, toy or pet shop the buyer rarely knows the exact SKU. They know the age, the breed, the reading level or the occasion. A MyShp catalog lets you build categories around those questions, show the right photo and price, and take the order in WhatsApp where you can still advise.
What makes books, toys & pets different
Buyers search by situation
“A gift for a five-year-old” is a category problem. Group toys by age, books by reading level, and pet supplies by animal so the browse starts in the right place.
Advice sells
A short, specific description — what the book is about, what the toy develops, what the food suits — replaces the shop assistant’s best sentence.
Repeat purchases are routine
Pet food and consumables repeat on a schedule. Keep those items in a clear category so a regular can reorder without searching.
Set up the catalog
- Create categories by age, breed or genre, plus a “staff picks” shelf.
- Add cover or product photos with the title readable.
- Write a two-sentence description that answers the buyer’s real question.
- Add order fields for the pet’s weight or the child’s age where relevant.
- Publish and share the link in your local groups and with regulars.
Product photos and listings that sell
- For books, show the cover and a photo of the back-cover blurb.
- For toys, include the age range and any small-parts warning.
- For pet food, show the pack size and the flavour clearly.
- Keep a “new in” shelf that you refresh weekly.
Books, toys & pets catalog questions
Can I organize products by age or breed?
Yes. Categories are free-form, so you can create shelves for age ranges, reading levels, dog or cat, or any grouping your customers already use.
Can I take special orders?
Yes. Add a “special order” product with an order field for the title or item requested, and confirm availability and lead time in WhatsApp.
Do I need a website for an online catalog?
No. The catalog link works in any browser and can be shared in chat, social bios and QR codes. A custom domain is optional.
