What you get for R18 999
One website build with the catalogue connection, pricing controls and quote workflow included.
This page lists the package in detail so you can see what is part of the build and what is quoted separately.
The Amrod catalogue connection
The website connects to the catalogue available through your own Amrod reseller account.
| Included | How it works |
|---|---|
| Products | The full product range returned by your account, or selected categories/brands if you do not want everything online |
| Variations | Size, colour and other variations are imported separately so stock and pricing can be handled correctly |
| Categories and brands | The supplier structure is imported and used to organise the catalogue |
| Product images | Supplier images are used without manually downloading and re-uploading thousands of files |
| Catalogue refresh | A full catalogue pull runs overnight to pick up new and discontinued lines |
| Stock refresh | Stock snapshots run during the day and changes are checked every fifteen minutes |
| Pricing | Cost prices are pulled from your own account and used as the base for your selling-price rules |
The number of products and variations changes as the supplier catalogue changes. The build is not sold against a fixed product count.
Bulk colour and size ordering
For garments and other products with several variations, the buyer can enter the whole order on one screen.
Colours appear down the side, sizes across the top, with a quantity box for each combination.
The grid can show:
- Available stock for each variation
- Expected stock information where supplied by the catalogue feed
- Sizes in garment order rather than alphabetical order
- Running unit and rand totals
- The next volume break when the order is close to it
The aim is to capture the customer's actual size and colour split before the quote reaches you.
This also keeps a bulk order together instead of forcing the customer to add each colour and size combination as a separate retail cart line.
Pricing and margin
Your cost price is kept on the server. Customers receive your selling price, not your supplier cost or markup percentage.
| Control | What you can set |
|---|---|
| Default markup | The starting markup used across the catalogue |
| Brand rules | A different markup for selected brands |
| Category rules | Different markups for categories such as clothing, gifting or headwear |
| Volume rules | Reduce markup as quantity increases |
| Minimum floor | Set the lowest markup the volume rules are allowed to reach |
| VAT display | Show inclusive and exclusive figures where appropriate |
When a quote request is submitted, the website recalculates the current selling price on the server. It does not trust a price sent back from the customer's browser.
Quote basket and customer requests
Customers can add more than one product to a quote request.
A submitted request includes:
- Product names
- Supplier product and variation codes
- Colours and sizes
- Quantities
- Calculated selling prices
- Customer contact details
The request is emailed to you and kept in the website admin.
Customer accounts can keep quote and order history together instead of leaving everything in individual inboxes.
A callback form and WhatsApp contact link can also be included.
Website and WooCommerce setup
The build includes:
- Your logo and colour palette
- Your company details throughout the site
- Home, catalogue/category, product, quote basket, about and contact pages
- Standard policy pages for South African trading conditions
- WooCommerce administration
- Editable page and product content
- Responsive layouts for desktop and mobile
- SSL configuration
- Basic spam protection on public forms without putting a CAPTCHA in front of the main enquiry form
Search engine setup
The site is built so search engines can crawl the catalogue under your domain.
The technical setup includes:
- Search-friendly page titles and descriptions
- Product structured data with selling price and availability where appropriate
- Crawlable category and product pages
- Sitemap and robots configuration
- Editable category and product copy
- Canonical URL handling
- Basic technical indexing setup at launch
SEO is not a promise that every supplier product will rank. A large synced catalogue still needs useful category content, internal linking and ongoing search work if organic traffic is a major goal.
Hosting and ongoing operation
These items are quoted separately from the R18 999 build:
| Running item | What is provided |
|---|---|
| Hosting | Hosting sized for a large WooCommerce catalogue and the catalogue sync processes |
| Domain | A .co.za domain can be registered in your name, or an existing domain can be pointed to the site |
| SSL certificate | Installed and renewed automatically on supported hosting |
| Mailboxes on your domain if required | |
| Backups | Daily backups on our hosted service |
| Sync monitoring | Failed scheduled catalogue jobs are monitored and investigated |
You receive the build price and the running-cost quote before committing.
Optional: online checkout for unbranded stock
The default workflow is a quote request because branding, artwork, setup fees, delivery and deadlines often need to be checked before an order is accepted.
If you also sell suitable unbranded stock, WooCommerce checkout can be enabled for those products as an additional configuration.
