The short answer
A carpet buyer buys by size: so give each rug its sizes in centimetres as variants with their prices and weight, so shipping is charged by weight. In ArabyBot Store you put sizes and colours in «Variants (size, colour…)», enter «Weight (grams)» for each variant, use «Price on request» for custom sizes, and a «Min quantity per order» for wholesale prayer rugs.
What a carpets and rugs store needs, and how ArabyBot Store covers it
Each size is a variant with its price, written in centimetres length and width, so the customer measures the room before ordering.
Carpets are heavy; enter each size's weight, and add «per kg» in the shipping zone.
Details ‹A size cut to fit the space has no fixed price; «Price on request» makes the customer ask on WhatsApp.
Details ‹A «Min quantity per order» for mosque and gift orders, and «Quantity offers» for those buying ten or more.
Details ‹A WhatsApp message with «Confirm» and «Cancel» buttons before shipping stops a heavy rug being shipped and refused at the door.
Details ‹Selling carpets and rugs on WhatsApp: the AI seller answers from your products
The commonest question at a carpet store is about size and material, and the AI seller answers from your products:
My room is 3 by 4 metres — which size fits?
The 200×300 cm size fits, leaving space around the edges. The wool rug in that size is EGP 3,400, available in grey, beige, blue and red.
Is there a 250×350 size?
That is a custom size we make to order, and our team will send you its price and making time now.
An illustration. The AI seller reads prices, sizes and stock from your store at the moment of the question and records the order inside the chat. How the AI seller works.
Payment and shipping for a carpets and rugs store
Carpets are heavy and ship rolled, so charge shipping by weight, and state the making time for custom sizes separately. Most returns come from a size that does not fit the room, so write sizes in centimetres and ask the customer to measure before ordering.

Mistakes that cost a carpets and rugs store
- A size called «large»
Rooms differ; write the length and width in centimetres.
- A photo that hides the material
Add a close-up of the weave and a photo of the rug in a real room.
- A flat shipping price
A heavy rug at a light shipping price eats your profit; charge by the kilo.
