"Catalogue bhejo", "all designs?", "price list pls". If you sell many designs, a catalogue is your best answer to most comments. Automation can send it instantly to everyone who asks.
Choose a catalogue format
| Format | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| WhatsApp Business catalogue link | Opens in WhatsApp, easy ordering | Needs WhatsApp |
| PDF on Google Drive | Easy to make | Large files load slowly; update means a new file |
| Collection page on your store | Live prices and stock | Needs a store |
| Link-in-bio page with products | Quick to set up | Limited layouts |
For most Indian sellers without a website, the WhatsApp catalogue or a store collection page works best because they stay up to date.
PDF tips
- Keep it under 5 to 10 MB
- Design number, price and sizes on every item
- Set Google Drive sharing to "Anyone with the link"
- Test that it opens inside Instagram's browser on a phone
The automation
- Keywords:
catalogue, catalog, designs, all, price list - Scope: every post
- DM:
Hi {name}! All 60 designs with prices are in this catalogue 📒 Send the design number on WhatsApp to order.
[Open catalogue]
Combine with per-product automations
For your best reels, send the specific product instead. The catalogue catch-all handles everything else. See one post or every post.
Keep it current
An old catalogue with wrong prices causes more trouble than no catalogue. Update the file or page, and keep the same link so automations do not need changing.
Frequently asked questions
Can I attach the PDF directly to the DM?
Comment-to-DM tools usually send a link. Links load faster and can be updated.
How many designs should a catalogue have?
As many as you can keep accurate. Group by category.
Can I password-protect the catalogue?
You can, but every extra step loses buyers.
What about wholesale catalogues?
Use a separate keyword like wholesale and a separate link.
