The short answer
Dates are bought by the kilo for home, in a premium box as a gift, and by the carton for companies, with a peak before Ramadan. The store needs weight and type as priced variants, gift boxes as their own products, a pre-order that gathers the season's orders before it arrives, and a customer group for companies at a special price. ArabyBot Store covers it all.

Mistakes that cost a dates store
- Flat shipping for carton orders
Twenty kilos at the price of one is a loss. Weight balances it.
- Waiting for the season to start
A pre-order gathers orders before the peak and shows you the quantity needed.
- Negotiating with companies in chats
A «companies» group gives them their price automatically, so they order from the store directly.
