WhatsApp chat in which the owner logs the day's sales in one message, then books a customer for Friday and Cari adds it to the calendar

Getting started

Nothing to install. You already have WhatsApp.

Tell Cari about a sale the way you'd text a friend. Cari keeps the record so nothing gets lost, and does the adding up for you.

Your expenses

Never lose a receipt again.

Send a photo or PDF and Cari logs the shop, the total, the tax and every line. No receipt? Just type what you spent.

In this example: a food vendor

A food vendor's WhatsApp chat in which Cari logs a photographed receipt

Your profit

Did you make money this month?

Ask "how did I do this month?" and get revenue, expenses, profit and your top customers in one reply.

In this example: a mechanic

A mechanic's WhatsApp chat in which Cari replies with a monthly summary

Your calendar

Can you fit someone in tomorrow?

Connect Cari to your Google Calendar, then ask what's on. Cari helps you find a free slot long enough for that customer's 45-minute booking and adds it for you.

In this example: a personal trainer

A personal trainer's WhatsApp chat in which Cari finds a free slot in the calendar

Your sales

Did everyone who came in pay?

Cari checks your appointments against the sales you've logged, then logs any that are missing in one reply.

In this example: a stylist

A stylist's WhatsApp chat in which Cari finds two appointments this week with no sale logged, and the owner logs both

Your records

Take the stress out of tax time.

Say "export my expenses for January", or any other period, and send the spreadsheet to your accountant. Your records are always yours to take with you any time.

WhatsApp chat in which Cari sends a link to a spreadsheet of January's expenses

Pricing

One plan. One price.

Every feature included.

FAQ

Still wondering?

Who is Cari for?
Cari is for solo and small business owners who do most of the work themselves, alone or with a small team. It's here to help you Cari the load. For example:
  • Personal care: barbers, stylists, estheticians, personal trainers
  • Food: bakers, cafés, caterers, farmers, food vendors
  • Tourism and events: tour operators, charters, event hosts, photographers
  • Trades: mechanics, plumbers, electricians, contractors
  • And more: tailors, tutors, pet sitters
What happens when the free trial ends?
You get a reminder 3 days before. If you haven't added a payment method, the trial ends and nothing is charged. Your page stays up, with a monthly limit on changes.
Do I need to download anything?
No. Cari works in WhatsApp, so there is no app and no website to log in to.
How is Cari different from WhatsApp Business?
Cari is an independent service, not part of WhatsApp or Meta. WhatsApp Business helps you talk to customers, with quick replies, away messages and a product catalog. Cari focuses on the work behind the scenes:
  • log sales and expenses and check your profit
  • book customers into your Google Calendar
  • export your records for your accountant at tax time
They work together. You can even put your free business page link in your WhatsApp Business greeting and away messages, so customers can easily see your hours, address and how to pay without waiting for you to reply.
Can I cancel?
Any time, including during the trial. Say "manage my subscription" and Cari sends a secure link where you can cancel or update your payment method.
What can I send?
Type your sales, expenses and bookings the way you'd say them. Log sales and expenses one at a time or all at once at the end of the day, and Cari also reads photos and PDFs of receipts, bills and invoices.
Is there a limit?
50 new entries a month: receipts, typed sales and expenses, and new calendar events. Summaries, exports, questions and page edits don't count.
Is my information safe?
Keeping your information safe matters to us. The Privacy Policy explains what Cari keeps, why, and how it's protected.

Turn your end-of-day admin into one message.

Message Cari throughout the day, or send one quick summary when you close. Either way, Cari keeps the record and does the adding up.
