In the product
What Shinjuku Halal Food does
The parts of the store that do the selling — and the ones that keep perishable orders from going wrong.
Wide grocery catalogue
Twenty-two categories from masala and spices to meat, fish, fruit, vegetables and wellness foods.
Chilled shipping
Cold-chain items are separated from ambient stock so perishables travel correctly.
Monthly grocery packages
Pre-built monthly baskets turn a weekly shop into one repeat order.
Wholesale club
Trade pricing sits beside retail, so restaurants and shops buy from the same catalogue.
Country-wise browsing
Shoppers can find familiar brands by the country they come from, not just by aisle.
Seasonal storefronts
Ramadan, pre-Ramadan and Eid ranges are merchandised as their own destinations.
Want one of your own?
A perishable, multi-category catalogue with wholesale pricing is one of the harder eCommerce builds. We do this on WooCommerce and Shopify alike.
