Why should a food supplier catalog be digital?
Food prices change, stock rotates, and business customers want to order quickly. A PDF or Excel file sent at the start of the month goes stale within days and creates repeat questions.
A digital catalog solves this with one permanent link: it opens on phone and computer, flips like a book, presents rich content and lets the customer take action right from the page. When you need to update a price, image or category, you publish a new version and the link you already sent stays the same link.
What should the catalog include?
- Beverages: a clear page or area that presents the information the customer needs before reaching out or ordering.
- Coffee products: a clear page or area that presents the information the customer needs before reaching out or ordering.
- Raw materials: a clear page or area that presents the information the customer needs before reaching out or ordering.
- Frozen products: a clear page or area that presents the information the customer needs before reaching out or ordering.
- Packaging: a clear page or area that presents the information the customer needs before reaching out or ordering.
- Monthly deals: a clear page or area that presents the information the customer needs before reaching out or ordering.
Capabilities that generate inquiries and orders
- A price list that updates itself
- Categories per customer
- WhatsApp cart
- Sharing monthly deals
- Specs and certificates as links
A restaurant gets a price list link, adds products to an order and sends a tidy WhatsApp message to the supplier instead of a long phone call.
How do you start without rebuilding everything?
If you already have a PDF, price list or presentation, you upload them to flipo and get a flipbook catalog within minutes. Then you add an interaction layer: WhatsApp buttons, forms, links, video or products to order. If you have no ready material, you can build pages from scratch or use AI to create an initial structure, text and design.
This page is part of a wider set of guides. We recommend starting with the main guide to the digital catalog, getting to know the process of turning a PDF into a catalog, and then checking out flipo pricing.

Frequently asked questions
Can I update a food price list frequently?
Yes. You replace pages or update product components and publish again, without sending a new file.
Can I show a separate catalog to different customers?
You can create different catalogs or share selected pages per customer, according to how you work.
Can I update the catalog after we have shared it?
Yes. You log in to the management area, update pages or components and publish again. The link and the QR stay the same, and viewers see the new version.
Can I receive inquiries from within the catalog?
Yes. You can add WhatsApp buttons, contact forms, links to product pages and clickable areas that lead to the next action.
