Who this is for: Sellers using WhatsApp Business to take orders who want to scale operations.
Chat catalogs vs self-service storefronts
WhatsApp Business catalogs are great for sharing products directly in conversations. However, WhatsApp catalogs cannot rank in Google Search, process online payment gateway settlements automatically, or manage real-time inventory levels across multiple buyers.
Linking a SellerZonee micro-storefront to your WhatsApp Business auto-responder gives you the best of both worlds: personal customer support on WhatsApp and automated checkout on your store.
Frequently asked questions
Can I send buyers from WhatsApp directly to my store checkout?
Yes. Every product in your SellerZonee store has a direct link that can be shared in WhatsApp messages for instant cart checkout.
