The short answer
Cleaning products run out every month, so the best thing in their store is an order that repeats by itself. In ArabyBot Store you switch on «Subscribe & save» on the product, so the customer orders once and receives it on repeat, with each order created on its date and confirmed on WhatsApp. You set sizes as variants with prices and weights, and a «Min quantity per order» for wholesale items.
What a cleaning products store needs, and how ArabyBot Store covers it
The customer orders once and receives it on repeat, with each order created on its date and confirmed on WhatsApp like any order.
One, four and twenty litres, each size with its price and weight, so homes and shops pick what suits them.
Liquids are heavy; enter each size's weight, and add «per kg» in the shipping zone.

Details ‹«Quantity offers» such as three bottles for less, moving the customer from a bottle to a carton.
Details ‹Selling cleaning products on WhatsApp: the AI seller answers from your products
The commonest question at a cleaning products store is about size, price and repeat orders, and the AI seller answers from your products:
Do you have floor cleaner in a big size?
Yes, floor cleaner is EGP 120 for 4 litres and EGP 550 for 20 litres. You can also subscribe so it reaches you every month without ordering.
I want to subscribe to the 4-litre bottle.
Done. Send your name and address; the first order arrives this week and then monthly, and we confirm each order with you on WhatsApp before shipping.
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 cleaning products store
Cleaning products are heavy liquids that can leak, so seal and wrap each bottle, and charge shipping by weight. Some cleaning products face shipping restrictions or need a licence depending on the country; check with the courier and the authority before you start.
In Egypt
Cash on delivery with a fee and a ceiling you set, Kashier and Paymob for cards and wallets, bank instalments through Kashier, and transfer, InstaPay or Vodafone Cash with a receipt. Shipping with an automatic waybill and tracking through Bosta, Aramex, J&T, Mylerz, ShipBlu and others.
In Saudi Arabia and the Gulf
Cash on delivery, Moyasar and Tap for mada, cards and Apple Pay, Tabby and Tamara for instalments, and bank transfer with a receipt. Shipping with an automatic waybill and tracking through SMSA, Aymakan, RedBox, J&T, Naqel and OTO, and Aramex across the Gulf.
Every gateway and courier runs on your own contract and account, and the money reaches you directly. Details in payment gateways and couriers.
Mistakes that cost a cleaning products store
- A flat shipping price
A 20-litre bottle at the shipping price of a 1-litre one eats your profit; charge by the kilo.
- No repeat ordering
A customer who bought once will need the product a month later; offer the subscription instead of waiting for them.
- Weak packaging
One leaking bottle ruins the whole parcel; seal the cap and wrap the bottle.
