An online store for selling furniture
On this page 7
The short answer
A furniture piece is bought after questions about size, material and delivery, and much of it is made after the order. A furniture store needs instalments under the price, pre-orders with a clear making time, «price on request» for custom sizes, and shipping by weight or zone. ArabyBot Store covers them, and the AI seller answers size and material questions from your description.

Details ‹Selling furniture on WhatsApp: the AI seller answers from your products
A furniture buyer asks about size, delivery and instalments before deciding. The AI seller answers from the piece's data:
Does the oak table come in 140? And are there instalments?
The stock size is 120×70 at EGP 4,200, made within 10 days. 140 is a custom size priced on request — I have logged your request so the store sends you the price. Bank instalments are available on both.
And delivery to Alexandria?
Delivery to Alexandria is EGP 250, arriving 2–4 days after making.

Payment and shipping for a furniture store
Furniture is heavy and scratches easily; ship by zone or weight and put the making and delivery time on the product. Cash on delivery on a made-to-order piece is a risk, so cap it or take an online deposit.

Mistakes that cost a furniture store
- Making the piece before confirmation
Confirm the order on WhatsApp or take an online payment before you start making it.
- Unwritten dimensions
Length, width and height on every product prevent half the questions and most returns.
- One shipping price for a chair and a wardrobe
Weight or zone shipping gives each piece its own price.
