WhatsApp is where Indian buyers already talk to the shops they trust. Used well, it's your best sales channel; used carelessly, it's hours of manual work and a number that gets reported. Here's the balanced approach.

Set up WhatsApp Business properly

  • Use the free WhatsApp Business app with your business name, category, hours and a short description.
  • Add your store link to the profile so every chat has it one tap away.
  • Create quick replies for price, delivery time, returns and sizing.
  • Use labels — New enquiry, Ordered, Paid, Shipped, Repeat — to keep track.

Sell with Status, not spam

Status is seen by people who saved your number — your warmest audience. Post new arrivals, behind-the-scenes and customer photos daily, each with your product link.

Heads up: Broadcast lists only reach people who saved your number, and frequent unwanted messages get numbers reported or restricted. Message people who asked to hear from you.

Move ordering to a link

  1. 1

    Reply with the product link

    Price, sizes, photos and delivery info are all on the page.

  2. 2

    Let buyers check out themselves

    They type their own address and choose COD or online payment.

  3. 3

    Send updates in one tap
