Features
Everything a shop needs, and nothing it does not
One account gives you a storefront, a checkout, a stockroom, a payout account, a customer list and a team. They are not integrations — they already know about each other.
Storefront
A shop at your own address
Your storefront lives on a subdomain you control, not a listing page you share with competitors. Add a product and it is live — there is no build step, no theme to buy, and nothing to host.
- Live on your first product
- The store exists as soon as there is something to sell. No publish step to forget.
- Built for the phone first
- Most Nigerian shoppers arrive on a phone, on mobile data. The storefront is designed for that, not adapted to it.
- One link that behaves like a shop
- Share it in a bio, a status or a DM. It opens to a real catalogue with a real cart, not a price list.

Products and stock
Stock that counts itself
Sizes, colours and packs are variants, and each one carries its own count. Stock moves when an order is paid rather than when you remember to adjust it, so the number on the screen is the number in the room.
- Per-variant stock
- One number per product hides the fact that only Large is left. Variants each hold their own.
- Low-stock alerts at your threshold
- Set the level per product. When a variant reaches it, you get an email — before a customer finds out for you.
- Images, pricing and categories
- Everything a listing needs, editable in one place, with the storefront updating as you save.

Large is running low. You set the threshold at 5.
Orders
From paid to delivered, in one list
Every order arrives with its payment state already attached, so there is no reconciling a bank alert against a WhatsApp message. Move it through your own steps and the customer is told at each one.
- Payment state on the order
- Paid, pending or failed is a fact on the record, not something you check somewhere else.
- Invoices on demand
- Generate and download an invoice for any order, without leaving the page.
- Orders you raise yourself
- A customer who ordered by phone still belongs in the same list. Create the order and take payment for it.
Payments and payouts
Money in, and straight on to your own bank
Checkout takes cards, bank transfers and USSD through Paystack. Your share of every order is split to your own account at the moment your customer pays, and Paystack settles it to the bank you verified — so we are never holding your money and you are never asking us for it.
- Card, transfer and USSD
- The three ways Nigerians actually pay, at the same checkout, without you configuring a gateway.
- Split at the checkout, not settled up later
- Our commission and the card fee come off the charge as it is made. What is left is yours, and it goes to your account rather than ours.
- Your verified account and no other
- The account is checked with your BVN, and Paystack verifies it again before your store can take a payment. Until it does, your storefront says so rather than taking money it cannot settle.
Customers
People, remembered
A buyer who checked out as a guest is still a customer. Their orders sit against one record, so a returning buyer is recognisable rather than a fresh stranger every time.
- History that survives guest checkout
- No account required of your customer for you to still have their history.
- Your list, reachable
- Email your customers from inside Cartinary. No export, no second tool, no copying addresses into a spreadsheet.
- Exportable when you need it
- It is your customer list. Take it with you whenever you want.
Team
Staff, without handing over the keys
Invite people and give each of them only what their job needs. A packer does not need your payout account, and a shared password is not a permission system.
- Roles and permissions
- Access is granted per area, so what someone can reach matches what they were hired to do.
- Invite by email
- They get their own login. Nobody passes a password around.
- Bulk invites
- Onboarding several people at once does not mean doing it several times.
The whole thing is free to try
The free plan is not a trial and does not expire. Add a product, share the link, and see whether it fits how you sell.
