The short answer
Someone buying groceries online wants a large order in different weights, delivered at a time that suits them, every week. The store needs weight as a priced option, delivery windows the shopper picks from with a set number of orders per window, and a repeat subscription whose order makes itself. All of it is in ArabyBot Store, and the AI seller records a long list from a single message.
What a grocery store needs, and how ArabyBot Store covers it

It lifts the order to the size that makes the trip worth it.

Selling grocery on WhatsApp: the AI seller answers from your products
A grocery customer sends their list the way they would write it on paper. The AI seller turns it into an order with weights and prices:
I need: 5 kg rice, 1 kg sugar, two bottles of oil and a tray of eggs.
Recorded: rice 5 kg 210, sugar 1 kg 38, two oils 190, eggs 30 at 165. Total EGP 603, and delivery is free over 500. Which time today: 2–6 or 6–10?
6 to 10, and I want it every week.
Done, and I set up the weekly subscription at the subscriber discount; the same order comes every week, and you can postpone or stop it from the link.
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 grocery store
Scheduled local delivery is the heart of a grocery store: a rate per zone, a window per period and a cap on orders per window. Subscription renewals are cash on delivery or transfer, so nothing charges a card by itself.

Mistakes that cost a grocery store
- A product per weight
Products multiply and search gets lost. Weight is a variant of the same product.
- Delivery «within a day»
Someone cooking tonight wants an hour, not a day. Windows set the time and spread the load.
- Making a regular customer reorder from scratch
A subscription keeps the list and makes the order by itself, so the customer stays with you.
Frequently asked questions
Does the subscription price change if I change the price?
Yes, every order uses the product's price on the day, less the subscriber discount — never an old stored number.
What if I hide a product that has subscriptions?
Its subscriptions pause, so no surprise order reaches the shopper.
Can the bot take a long list?
Yes, it reads the list from one message, matches it to the store's products and weights, and asks about what it cannot find.
Is there pickup from the shop?
Yes, branch pickup is an option at checkout.
