CartPlus / Digital commerce

Online orders without the wait for a DM.

CartPlus began with home-based and Instagram sellers whose customers had to wait for a reply to “DM to order”. It gives sellers an online storefront where customers can browse, order, and pay, with WhatsApp commerce and mobile point of sale as the business grows.

How it began

I wanted to help home-based ecommerce and Instagram sellers who asked customers to ‘send a DM’ but often replied late. Later, during a NineRole onboarding discussion at my friend’s company, KIOT Innovations, they described a similar need for an ecommerce solution. That conversation helped turn the idea into something we built to address both needs.

The problem

For many small sellers, an interested customer still has to send a message and wait for a reply before placing an order. That delay puts another step between interest and purchase. As the business grows, keeping messages, orders, payments, and stock aligned becomes another challenge.

What it does

CartPlus connects an online storefront with WhatsApp ordering and mobile point of sale. Its platform includes catalogue creation, payment options, inventory, team permissions, and customer communication. Custom domains and branded app options support a merchant’s own identity.

Why I’m building it

A small seller should be able to accept an order while they are busy doing the work behind the business. CartPlus now has ecommerce stores using the platform, turning that original idea into a working sales channel.
