How it works
How a WhatsApp Shop Works, Step by Step
From your product list to a paid, delivered order, without the customer ever leaving WhatsApp.
- 1
Create your WhatsApp shop
Add products with photos, prices, variants and categories. We set up your shop on your official WhatsApp Business number.
- 2
Share your shop link
Share one link or QR code on Instagram, Facebook, Google, ads, bills and your shop counter. Customers open it straight in WhatsApp.
- 3
Customers place an order
Shoppers browse the catalogue, pick sizes or quantities and add items to the cart, all inside the WhatsApp chat.
- 4
Delivery details in chat
A WhatsApp form collects name, address, landmark and pincode, so there is no back-and-forth asking for an address.
- 5
Pay on WhatsApp
Customers pay by UPI, card or net banking without leaving the chat, or choose cash on delivery if you allow it.
- 6
Manage orders in your dashboard
Every order appears in your Vyapar Automation dashboard with payment status, and customers get automatic order updates.

What is a WhatsApp shop?
A WhatsApp shop is an online store that lives inside WhatsApp. Instead of sending customers to a website or a marketplace app, you share one link. The customer taps it, sees your products in WhatsApp, adds items to a cart, fills in delivery details and pays, all in the same chat they already use every day.
For the business, a WhatsApp shop turns the busy, manual WhatsApp ordering most shops already do (photos, prices, "please send address", "share payment screenshot") into an organised system with a catalogue, checkout, payments and an order dashboard.
Why sell on WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is where your customers already talk to you. Selling where the conversation happens removes steps: no app to download, no account to create and no unfamiliar checkout page. Questions about size, delivery or offers get answered in the same thread as the order, which helps undecided buyers complete the purchase.
Because every buyer comes in through WhatsApp, you also build a list of opted-in customers you can reach again with new arrivals, festive offers and restock alerts, without paying a marketplace commission on each repeat order.
How to create a WhatsApp shop for your business
- Get the official WhatsApp Business API on your business number (we handle the setup and Meta verification).
- Upload your products with photos, prices, variants and categories.
- Set delivery areas, delivery charges, payment options and cash on delivery rules.
- Switch on automatic messages for order confirmation, shipping and delivery.
- Share your WhatsApp shop link and QR code on social media, ads, Google Business Profile and in-store.
- Manage orders, payments and customer chats from the Vyapar Automation dashboard.

WhatsApp shop vs WhatsApp Business app catalogue
The free WhatsApp Business app lets you show a simple catalogue, but every order still needs manual work: asking for the address, calculating totals, checking payment screenshots and updating the customer. It also runs on one or a few phones. A WhatsApp shop on the WhatsApp Business Platform adds a real cart, delivery forms, in-chat payments, automatic updates, multiple team members and reports, so you can take many orders at the same time without missing any.
FAQ
WhatsApp Shop FAQs
Common questions about selling, ordering and getting paid on WhatsApp.
A WhatsApp shop is an online store that runs inside WhatsApp. Customers open your shop link, browse your product catalogue, add items to a cart, share delivery details and pay without leaving the WhatsApp chat. The business manages every order from a dashboard.
With Vyapar Automation you share your product list, prices and photos, and we set up the WhatsApp shop on your official WhatsApp Business number. You then share the shop link or QR code with customers and start receiving orders in your dashboard. Book a free demo to see it working with your products.
Yes. After the customer confirms the order and delivery details, a secure payment step opens inside the chat so they can pay by UPI, debit or credit card or net banking. You can also allow cash on delivery. Payment status is updated against the order automatically.
No. Your WhatsApp shop works as your online store, so you can start selling without building a website. If you already have a Shopify or WooCommerce store, we can connect it so products and orders stay in sync.
The free WhatsApp Business app catalogue only shows products; you still collect the address, total the bill and confirm payment manually for each customer. A WhatsApp shop on the WhatsApp Business API adds a cart, delivery forms, payments, automatic order updates, a team dashboard and reports, so it can handle many orders at once.
Every order appears in your Vyapar Automation dashboard with the customer's name, number, items, address, payment mode and status. You can mark orders as packed, shipped or delivered, and the customer receives a WhatsApp update each time.
You can add your full catalogue, organised into categories, with variants like size, colour or weight. Products can be updated or marked out of stock at any time.
Yes. A WhatsApp shop with cart, payments and automation runs on the official WhatsApp Business API (WhatsApp Business Platform). Vyapar Automation is a Meta Business Partner and handles the API setup and verification for you.
WhatsApp shop is available with Vyapar Automation subscription plans, which include the dashboard, automation and messaging wallet credit. See the pricing page for current plans or book a demo for a custom plan.
Yes. WhatsApp shops work for businesses in the UAE and other countries too. Payment options depend on the payment gateway available in your country, and our team will set up the right one for you.
