An online product catalog with requests is suitable when a business needs to show its product range but does not yet need full online payments and complex ecommerce logic. The client chooses a product and sends a request, while the manager contacts them to clarify details, availability, delivery or payment.
This format works for local stores, suppliers, manufacturers, B2B catalogs, furniture, equipment, cosmetics, medical products and other categories. If you need a full store, see online store development.
What is included
- product categories and clear catalog structure;
- product pages with photos, description, price or status;
- request form for product or selection;
- admin panel for products and categories;
- notifications to email, Telegram or CRM;
- SEO fields for categories and products;
- analytics for requests and traffic sources.
Cost
A basic online product catalog usually starts from 700 €. The price depends on categories, product card structure, filters, languages, admin panel, request form and integrations.
When catalog is better than store
A catalog is better than an online store when the product requires consultation, price depends on conditions, availability must be confirmed manually or purchase is not instant. If payment and delivery are needed on the website, choose an ecommerce website with payment and delivery.
Conclusion
An online product catalog with requests helps quickly publish products online and start receiving inquiries without complex ecommerce infrastructure. It is a good middle step between a website and a full online store.
