YSYour shopInstagram DM · answered by Amber
is the tan tote still available?
A sample shop. In yours, every answer comes from your own stock and prices, and anything Amber is not sure of is passed to you.
Everything your shop needs, in one place
Your DMs, your shop page, your stock, orders and customers, in one app. Everything here works in your shop today.
Amber answers your Instagram and WhatsApp DMs
A customer asks for a price or if something is available, and Amber replies straight away with your price, how many are left and a photo. Amber takes the order and passes you anything that needs a person.
Send orders out together
See what is paid and ready, pack the run, and tick each one off. Amber tells every customer when theirs goes out.
Bring your stock with you
Upload the spreadsheet you already keep, or your product export from Shopify or WooCommerce. Names, prices, counts and photos come in together. Download your stock as a spreadsheet any time, to change it in Excel or take it with you.
Ask about your own shop
“How much did I make last month?” Get the answer from your own sales, never a guess.
Books for your accountant
Download every sale with its price and cost as a spreadsheet. Your accountant does not need to log in.
Your own shop page
A link for your bio and status, with every product, photo and price. Customers fill a cart and order on WhatsApp, where Amber sends the total and how to pay, or pay online.
Offers and discounts
Run an offer on some products or the whole shop. Amber quotes the new price, and you can see what you are giving away.
Know who moved your stock
Every sale and restock is recorded with who did it and when. Records cannot be edited or deleted, so stock cannot quietly go missing.
Accounts for your staff
Give each staff member a username. They record sales and take orders, but cannot see your takings or what things cost you.
Your customers and their numbers
Everyone who ordered or messaged you, with their number and last address. Call, WhatsApp, or save them all to your phone in one tap.
Get paid, and the customer is told
Amber sends your account number, or a Paystack link. Paystack payments are confirmed for you. For transfers, you check your bank and tap confirm, so fake screenshots do not get through.
All your orders in one place
See which orders are waiting for payment, which are paid and which are ready to send. Stock is set aside the moment an order is placed.
Works when the network does not
Keep selling when the network is bad. Sales are saved on the phone and sent when you are back online.
