83 How Can Baking Ingredient and Equipment Merchants Use WeiCity? From Product Categories to Purchase Inquiries

From product categories to purchasing enquiries

"Do you carry cream from this brand?"

"What size is this mould?"

"Does this ingredient come in small packs?"

"What size cake can this cake box hold?"

"Our studio buys regularly. Can we request a quote?"

Baking customers usually come looking for products with specific uses in mind. Some need only small amounts of ingredients, some need added tools, and studios and shops need stable purchasing of ingredients and packaging.
