The challenge

Renting a store, and missing WhatsApp.

Brands were paying monthly fees and per-sale cuts for stores they never owned, on templates they could not bend. And a large share of buying was happening on WhatsApp - where their store simply could not take an order.

The brief: a store the brand owns, that sells everywhere its customers already are.

  • Monthly fees and per-sale commission
  • No way to sell over WhatsApp
  • Marketplace commissions eating margin
  • Catalog, orders and stock in separate tools
  • Generic templates, no room to customise
  • A fast, branded storefront for web and mobile
  • Catalog with variants, bundles and collections
  • Conversion-tuned cart and checkout
  • A WhatsApp bot that sells and collects payment
  • Unified orders, inventory and payments
  • Discounts, accounts and analytics
What we built

One engine, web and WhatsApp.

On Laravel and Next.js we built a commerce engine that unifies catalog, orders, inventory and payments - then added a conversational WhatsApp bot that shows products and takes orders in chat, syncing into the same system as the web store.

Because it is our product, brands get a platform they effectively own, without renting or per-sale commission.

Before & after

From rented template to owned engine.

Before
  • Rented store with per-sale fees
  • No WhatsApp selling
  • Disconnected catalog and orders
  • Rigid, generic template
  • Customer data owned by the platform
After - on LeidKart
  • An owned store, no commission
  • Orders taken directly in WhatsApp
  • Unified catalog, orders and stock
  • Branded, flexible storefront
  • The brand owns its customers and data
Results

Live, and measured as it grows.

The platform is in production; the numbers below are populated from live sales.

Brands shouldn't rent their store or miss the channel their customers live on. So we built one that does both - and run it ourselves.
