The short answer
A bedding buyer buys by size: so give each product its sizes and colours as variants with their prices, and write the set's piece count and each piece's size in centimetres. In ArabyBot Store you put them in «Variants (size, colour…)», use «Quantity offers» for whoever buys two sets, and every order is confirmed on WhatsApp before it ships.
What a bedding and home textiles store needs, and how ArabyBot Store covers it
Each size and colour is a variant with its price and photo, so the customer does not ask «is 160 available?».
Write the number of pieces and each piece's size in the description, and «Quantity offers» for two sets or more.
Details ‹A close-up of the fabric in daylight answers «what is the fabric?» before it is asked.
Bedding is heavy; enter the product's weight, and add «per kg» in the shipping zone.
Details ‹A WhatsApp message with «Confirm» and «Cancel» buttons before shipping stops a heavy order being shipped and refused at the door.
Details ‹Selling bedding and home textiles on WhatsApp: the AI seller answers from your products
The commonest question at a bedding store is about size and piece count, and the AI seller answers from your products:
Does this set fit a 180 bed? How many pieces are in it?
Yes, the cotton sheet set is 180×200 with 4 pieces: a sheet, a duvet cover and two pillowcases, at EGP 1,250. It comes in white, grey and beige.
I want two sets in grey.
For two sets the price becomes EGP 2,300. Send your name and address to record the order.

Payment and shipping for a bedding and home textiles store
Bedding is heavy and its returns are costly, so charge shipping by weight, and state the size-exchange policy clearly. Most returns come from a size that does not fit the bed, so write sizes in centimetres, not as «large».

Mistakes that cost a bedding and home textiles store
- A size without numbers
«Large» and «double» differ from country to country; write the centimetres.
- Catalogue photos only
The factory photo does not show the fabric; add a real close-up.
- A flat shipping price
A heavy set at a light shipping price eats your profit; charge by the kilo.
