An online store for selling pet supplies
On this page 7
The short answer
What matters most in a pet supplies store is that food is bought every month, so a subscription that reorders by itself keeps the customer from looking elsewhere. Alongside it: weight and flavour as priced variants, age and suitable breed written in the specs, shipping worked out by weight because bags are heavy, and an alert when a sold-out item returns. ArabyBot Store covers all of it, and the AI seller answers «which food suits a six-month-old kitten?» from the specs you wrote.
What a pet supplies store needs, and how ArabyBot Store covers it
The customer chooses delivery every two weeks, month or two months, and postpones or stops from a link they receive.
Details ‹One kilo and four kilos, chicken and fish: each variant with its price and stock.
Details ‹Up to twenty specs per product: suitable age, size and ingredients, read by the AI seller.
Each zone has a base rate and a per-kilo rate, so a heavy bag never ships at the price of a light collar.
Details ‹Whoever leaves a number on sold-out food gets a WhatsApp message when it returns.

Most questions are about age and the right type, and the AI seller answers from the products' specs:
Hello, I have a six-month-old kitten — which food suits her?
Hello. Kitten food up to one year suits her, according to its specs, in chicken or fish. The 2 kg bag is SAR 95.
Can it come every month?
Yes, with a monthly subscription you can postpone or stop any time from a link you receive. Send your name and address to record the first order.

Payment and shipping for a pet supplies store
Food bags are heavy, so shipping by weight is fairer than a flat rate, and free shipping above an amount encourages buying two bags together. Confirming cash-on-delivery orders on WhatsApp stops shipping an order that gets refused at the door.

Mistakes that cost a pet supplies store
- No suitable age in the description
Kitten food is not adult food; write the age before you are asked.
- One shipping rate for every weight
A four-kilo bag at the price of a small toy is a loss on every order.
- Leaving the customer to remember to reorder
A subscription reorders by itself and keeps the customer from a nearer competitor.
