KataPeek

KataPeek is designed for artisans, makers, studios, showrooms and small businesses that need a professional product catalog without running a full e-commerce store. Create products manually with title, description, categories, main image and gallery. Visitors can add products to My Selection, adjust quantities and send the complete selection as a single inquiry by email or, when enabled, WhatsApp. Prices are optional. The site owner can enable or disable price display globally. KataPeek does not provide checkout, online payments, shipping calculations, taxes or order management. Free features
