Hardware is a catalogue business with two kinds of buyer: the homeowner grabbing a few items and the contractor placing a big order. Your store needs to serve both — clear SKUs and stock for one, bulk pricing and quotes for the other.
What your hardware store gets
- Big SKU catalogues. Thousands of parts and materials with variations (size, grade, length) and bulk import from a supplier sheet.
- Trade & bulk pricing. Quantity breaks and quote requests, so contractors get a price for the whole job, not just the shelf item.
- Weight-based delivery. Rates by weight and parish for the heavy stuff, plus branch or yard pickup.
- Cash on delivery. For the customers who pay when it lands — alongside card and bank transfer for big orders.
How your customers buy
Big hardware orders often go by bank transfer; smaller ones by card or cash. Offer all of them:
- Bank transfer with proof upload
- Scotiabank card checkout
- Fygaro (JMD + USD)
- eZeePayments (3-D Secure)
- Cash on delivery
Delivery by Knutsford Express (office pickup or courier), per-parish zones, free-over thresholds and in-store pickup — with GCT handled inclusive or exclusive.
Better than DMs, cheaper than Shopify
A website finishes the sale your Instagram starts — post the product, send them to your store, let it take the order and the payment. And unlike Shopify there's no US-dollar bill, no ~2% surcharge on every sale, and Knutsford is built in. See why Jamaican sellers leave Shopify.

FAQ
Can I offer trade or bulk pricing?
Yes — set quantity breaks per product and turn on quote requests so contractors can get a price for a whole materials list.
Can it handle thousands of SKUs?
Yes. Bulk-import your catalogue from a spreadsheet, organise it into categories with variations for size and grade, and customers search it fast.
How does delivery work for heavy items?
Set weight-based rates by parish, plus yard or branch pickup — every order shows the correct delivery price.
