How to make a website for a grocery store

Families who shop for groceries nearby mostly want three answers: do you stock what they use, do you deliver to their colony, and how do they send the monthly list. A small website shows your sections, delivery area and offers, and puts a WhatsApp button on every page so the list comes straight to you.

What people look for on a grocery store website

• The sections you carry: atta, rice and dal, oil and ghee, spices, snacks, dairy, cleaning and personal care
• Whether you sell loose items by weight as well as packets
• The colonies and sectors you deliver to, the minimum order and any delivery charge
• Delivery timings, such as orders before 11 AM delivered the same evening
• How to send a monthly list: a typed list or a photo of a handwritten one on WhatsApp
• This week's offers on staples
• Payment at delivery: cash or UPI
• Store timings, including early morning milk and bread hours if you have them

The pages your website needs

• Home: What you stock in one line, delivery area and timings, and a WhatsApp button to send your list
• What we stock: Each section with examples and a few common prices, such as atta 10 kg or toor dal 1 kg
• Home delivery: Colonies covered, minimum order, delivery charge, order cut-off times and how payment works
• Offers: This week's offers on staples and festival packs, with the dates they run
• Contact: Address, landmark, timings, phone, WhatsApp and a Google Maps button

Sample words for your home page

Use these as a starting point and write them in your own words: AppCub can rewrite them for you in the chat.

How to make it with AppCub, step by step

1. Decide the pages. Most grocery store websites need these pages: Home, What we stock, Home delivery, Offers, Contact.
2. Describe it to AppCub. Paste the request below, with your own name, address, prices and timings.
3. Check the plan. AppCub lists the pages and what goes on each. Ask for changes until it is right; seeing the plan is free.
4. Add your details and photos. Replace every sample with your real details, attach your own photos, and check each page on the phone and computer preview.
5. Publish and share. Choose your address (your-name.sites.appcub.ai), put the website live and share the link on WhatsApp.

Copy this request, change the details to match your grocery store, and paste it into AppCub:

Tips for a grocery store website

• Don't try to list every product. Show each section with a few examples and common prices, and let people send their full list on WhatsApp.
• Name the exact colonies you deliver to; it stops calls from areas you don't cover.
• Change the offers page each week or remove the dates, so old offers don't stay up.
• Take photos of clean, stocked shelves and the loose-grain section; they show the store is real and well kept.
• Put your store on Google Maps with a free Google Business Profile, with delivery mentioned in the description.
• Write the order cut-off time exactly, such as before 11 AM for same-evening delivery, and keep to it.

What it costs

• Describing your website and seeing AppCub’s plan for it is free.
• Making it and changing it in chat uses credits for the work done: start with the 2-day trial for ₹99 (150 credits) or the one-time App Pack for ₹499 (200 credits, no autopay). Starter is ₹1,599 a month for 700 credits.
• Publishing is free for an account that has paid AppCub once, at your-name.sites.appcub.ai.
• Work that fails or is rolled back costs no credits.

Good to know

• The website lists what you stock and how to order, but it has no cart, checkout or payment. Orders come as a list on WhatsApp; if you want customers to tick items from a catalogue and send a ready order, a grocery store app is the better fit.
• The pages are written in English. You can talk to AppCub in English, Hindi or Hinglish.
• A website has no forms, bookings, payments or logins: visitors reach you on WhatsApp, by phone or on Google Maps.
• Every page carries a small “Made with AppCub” badge and a “Report this site” link.

Questions

Can customers order groceries on my store's website?

They order by sending their list on WhatsApp from a button on every page. The website has no cart or checkout; a grocery app can have one.

Should I list all my products and prices on the website?

No. A grocery store has hundreds of items and prices change often. Show your sections with a few common prices and ask for the full list on WhatsApp.

How do I show which areas I deliver to?

List the colonies and sectors on the home delivery page, with the minimum order and the charge. AppCub can also add a Google Maps button for your store.

Can I put weekly offers on the website?

Yes. Keep an offers page and ask AppCub in the chat to change it each week with the new items and dates.

Can the website take UPI payments?

No, websites made with AppCub don't take payments. Write that customers pay by cash or UPI when the order is delivered.

Will families nearby find my grocery store on Google?

The pages are made so Google can read your store name, area and delivery details. Where they show up is Google's decision; a Google Business Profile helps people on Maps.
