Is Crate right for a Beauty and cosmetics business?

Crate is used by Beauty and cosmetics businesses to sell from one catalogue across their own online store, Instagram, WhatsApp and the counter. A Beauty and cosmetics business on Crate lists each product once, with its variants, its photos, its stock and its price in the merchant's own currency, USD or NGN, and every channel then sells that same record. Orders from all of those channels arrive in one Crate queue and stock is drawn down once, so a sale in a chat cannot oversell what is on the shelf. Crate takes the payment methods of the merchant's own market, USSD and pay on delivery included where they apply, and pays out to the business's own bank account. Crate is run from a phone.

The situation this is built for

Where you are now

None of this is unusual. It is what selling in more than one place looks like before there is one system underneath it.

Half your range is not visible anywhere

Only what fits in the last few posts is actually being sold, and the rest of the range exists in a box under the counter. A store shows every product, shade and set at once, on its own page with its own photography, and the whole catalog stays one link away.

Every sale starts with how much is it

The price is buried in a comment thread somewhere and you retype it all day, which is the job you are actually doing instead of selling. A catalog with prices, shades and stock on it answers before you do, in the same app the customer is already messaging you from.

You cannot tell which shade to restock

It sold well is a feeling, and a reorder placed on a feeling ties your money up in the wrong shades. Best sellers ranked by units and by revenue give you both halves of the answer, so a cheap fast mover and a slow high-margin set each show their real worth.

Beauty and cosmetics questions

Can I show every shade and set?

Yes. A product carries its own shades, sizes and other options, each with its own price, SKU and stock, so a customer picks a shade and sees whether that exact one is available. Sets and bundles are products in their own right, with their own photography and price.

How do customers pay?

By card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer, priced in US dollars. The payment is confirmed on the spot and matched to its order automatically, so there is no manual reconciling at the end of the day, and you get an alert the moment money lands. Money from card sales lands in your bank account on a rolling two-day schedule. Nothing to claim, nothing to withdraw.

Can I sell from social?

Yes. The same catalog sells from your own store, from Instagram and inside WhatsApp, and all of them draw down one shared stock. A customer who finds a shade in a post can buy it in the thread, and the order joins the same queue as everything else.

Is the store really mine?

Yes. It sits on your own domain and carries your branding rather than a marketplace's, so nobody is shown a competing brand on the way to your checkout. Your customer list and every order history belong to you and can be exported at any time.

Can I sell a gift set at a bundle price?

Yes. You can build a set as its own product, or run a buy one get one offer and free shipping over a spend without a spreadsheet. Offers can apply themselves at checkout with no code to remember, and the same rule holds on your store, in chat and at the counter.

Can I keep notes on a customer's skin type?

Yes. Every customer record takes notes and tags, so a skin type, an allergy or a shade they matched last time is waiting there the next time they order. Records are created automatically from the first order, with the full history and what they have spent attached.

Still have a question?

Every answer above was written by the people who build crate. If yours is not among them, the Help Center goes deeper, and a person reads what you send.
