Use WhatsApp Business to organise enquiries, improve service and encourage repeat purchases.

Build a helpful business profile
Add accurate hours, location, catalogue items and a concise description. Use greeting and away messages to set realistic expectations.
Segment communication
Separate new enquiries, active customers and repeat buyers. Send relevant updates with consent instead of broadcasting every message to everyone.
Make ordering simple
Use saved replies, clear payment instructions and a short confirmation process. Never request sensitive card information in chat.
Collect consent and preferences
Tell customers what messages they will receive and give them a straightforward way to stop promotional updates. A previous purchase does not justify unlimited broadcasts, and excessive messaging encourages blocks and complaints.
Create a service workflow
Use labels to distinguish new enquiries, awaiting payment, active orders and completed requests. Document the information needed at each stage so customers receive consistent answers regardless of who responds.
Protect customers from impersonation
Publish the official number on your website, never request passwords or one-time codes and warn customers about lookalike accounts. Confirm payment through your payment system rather than screenshots alone.
