What Floranext does

Floranext combines a website builder, point-of-sale system, and order management for flower shops. It is built for shops that take walk-in orders and need a connected register-to-delivery workflow.

Floranext is a retail tool for flower shops — it tracks orders, not designs. There is no AI recipe builder, no arrangement costing from natural language prompts, no design-first workflow. For the independent florist who designs for weddings and events, Floranext is a register system doing the work of a design studio.

Where PetalStudio is different

AI recipe builder — describe an arrangement in plain language, get an ingredient list in seconds
Arrangement costing calculator built for event florists, not retail order takers
Design-first workflow — proposals before point-of-sale
Built for boutique and independent florists who design, not just process orders
Free tier with real design tools — no POS subscription required to start

The honest note

Floranext has a mature POS and wire service integration that PetalStudio does not have. If you run a retail flower shop with a physical register and FTD/Teleflora orders, Floranext is the right tool. PetalStudio is for the independent florist who spends more time designing event arrangements than ringing up walk-ins.
