WhatsApp for retail shops

Plenty of shops already take orders on WhatsApp — the problem is that the order lives in a chat thread and nowhere else, so stock, billing and any sense of who your best customers are all have to be reconstructed by hand. Connecting WhatsApp to the counter closes that gap without changing how customers order.

Same conversation, connected behind the counter

Customers keep messaging you the way they always did.

  • Share products from your catalogue as single or multi-product messages
  • The order becomes a real order — stock decrements, GST invoice generated
  • Payment link on your own gateway, or UPI, or cash at the counter
  • The bill goes back to the same WhatsApp thread as a PDF
  • Low-stock alerts reach the owner on WhatsApp
  • Festive campaigns to segments, not to everyone indiscriminately

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to change how customers order?

No. They keep messaging you on WhatsApp. What changes is what happens on your side once the order arrives.

Can I send a GST bill on WhatsApp?

Yes — a compliant GST invoice PDF delivered to the same conversation.
