Online Order App helps you quickly start selling online, both wholesale and retail. With it, you can create a mini-site with a product catalog and information about your company. The product catalog and prices are constantly synchronized with Kladana, so you do not need to check or update them manually.
In the app, you can create two types of catalogs:
- Public link — for retail sales and customer acquisition. The catalog works like a full online store: you can set a custom address for it, for example, my-market.kladana.shop. You can share the link on social media, in ads, or in messengers. Public catalogs are open to search engines, so customers can find products in Google.
- Counterparty link — for wholesale sales, regular customers, or partners. The catalog is created for a specific counterparty with their individual prices and assortment. These links are not indexed and are available only to users who have the catalog link.
Customers can place orders via the link either immediately or after signing in to their account. Their order history is saved in the account, allowing them to view previous purchases and reorder all or some of the items.

Create Public Link

Currency Settings
Prices are displayed in the accounting currency set in Kladana.
To change the currency in the app, modify it in Kladana. The prices will remain the same and must be adjusted manually.
