Catalogue & OrdersSales

Sell inside the chat

Show products in WhatsApp, take the order in the conversation, and keep stock and history in the same panel.

Products shown properly in the chat, the order captured as a record, and stock that goes down when you sell.

What you need to start

  • A connected WhatsApp Business number
  • A Meta commerce account for the native catalogue — created during setup if you have none
  • Product images and prices ready to import

The problem

Sending photos and prices one by one, then losing the order in the scrollback.

  • Every enquiry means re-sending the same photos and typing the same prices.
  • The order is agreed somewhere in a thread and has to be reconstructed later.
  • Stock is a number in someone’s head, so things get promised that do not exist.

This is the screen you will work in

Stock updates and the CRM deal moves on confirm

Step by step

How it actually works

From the first day to steady state, in 6 steps. Every one of these is something the panel genuinely does — nothing here is on a roadmap.

  1. 01

    Put your products in

    30 minutes for a first catalogue

    Add products with images, description, price and stock, or import the lot from a spreadsheet. Group them into collections so a customer can be shown just the relevant part.

    • Bulk import from CSV with your own columns mapped
    • Multiple images, variants and SKU per product
    • Collections — “sweets”, “gift boxes”, “wholesale only”
    • Products can be hidden without being deleted
  2. 02

    Sync it to WhatsApp

    10 minutes, plus Meta review

    The catalogue is pushed to your Meta commerce account so products render natively inside the chat, with the picture and price WhatsApp draws itself.

    • Meta reviews products, as it does for any commerce catalogue
    • Prices and stock stay in step — edit here, it updates there
    • Anything Meta rejects is shown with its reason rather than failing silently
  3. 03

    Show the right things in the conversation

    per chat

    Send a single product, a collection, or the whole catalogue from inside the inbox. A chatbot can do the same thing without a person, based on what the customer asked for.

    • Single-product and multi-product messages
    • The chatbot can send a collection based on the answer to a question
    • A campaign can carry a product straight into a broadcast
  4. 04

    Take the order in the chat

    a few taps

    The customer picks items and the order arrives as a real record: what, how many, at what price, for whom — not a paragraph somebody has to interpret.

    • Cart contents captured as line items
    • Manual adjustment for the discount you agreed in the conversation
    • Order status — placed, confirmed, packed, shipped, delivered, cancelled
    • The whole order visible next to the conversation that created it
  5. 05

    Let stock look after itself

    automatic

    A confirmed order reduces the count. When something runs out it stops being offered, which is the point at which you stop promising what you do not have.

    • Stock decremented on confirmation, restored on cancellation
    • Low-stock and out-of-stock flags in the panel
    • Out-of-stock products can be hidden from the catalogue automatically
  6. 06

    Connect it to the rest

    one rule

    An order can open or advance a CRM deal, trigger a confirmation message, and add the buyer to the segment you use for reorder campaigns.

    • Orders open or move CRM deals, so sales and fulfilment see one thing
    • Automations send confirmation and dispatch updates
    • Buyers land in segments for reorder campaigns and ad exclusions
    • Order history sits on the contact, visible from the inbox

The order stops being a screenshot somebody has to interpret.

Setting it up

What you actually click

Six steps, in order, with the screen each one lives on. No developer and no integration project — this is all done in the panel.

Time to set up
about 45 minutes for a first catalogue
Before you start
A connected number and your product images and prices
Start free
  1. 1

    Create the catalogue

    Catalogs → New catalog

    One catalogue is usually enough. Collections inside it do the job of separating retail from wholesale.

  2. 2

    Add or import products

    Catalogs → Add product / Import

    Images, description, price, SKU and stock. Bulk import from CSV with your own columns mapped is faster past about twenty products.

  3. 3

    Group them into collections

    Catalogs → Collections

    So a customer asking about gift boxes is shown gift boxes, not the entire range.

  4. 4

    Sync to Meta

    Catalogs → Connect commerce

    Products are pushed to your Meta commerce account so they render natively in the chat. Meta reviews them; rejections show their reason.

  5. 5

    Set stock behaviour

    Catalogs → Settings

    Decide whether out-of-stock products are hidden automatically. Stock decrements when an order is confirmed and is restored if it is cancelled.

  6. 6

    Connect orders to the CRM

    Automations → New automation

    An order can open or advance a deal and send the confirmation message, so sales and fulfilment are looking at one record.

The short version

What it does about it

01

A real catalogue in WhatsApp

Products with images, prices and stock, shown natively inside the chat.

02

Orders become records

What was ordered, by whom, at what price — kept, not scrolled past.

03

Stock that goes down

Selling something reduces the count, so you stop promising what you do not have.

04

Linked to the CRM

An order can open or advance a deal, so sales and fulfilment see the same thing.

05

History on the contact

What someone bought last time is visible while you are talking to them this time.

In detail

Everything it does

The whole list, grouped. If something you need is not here, ask — we would rather tell you it does not exist than let you find out in week two.

The catalogue

  • Products with multiple images, variants, SKU and price
  • Collections for grouping
  • CSV import with column mapping
  • Hide without deleting
  • Sync to your Meta commerce catalogue

Selling

  • Single-product and multi-product messages
  • Send a collection from the inbox or from a chatbot
  • Products inside broadcast campaigns
  • Manual price adjustment for agreed discounts

Orders

  • Line items, quantity and price captured as a record
  • Status through placed, confirmed, packed, shipped and delivered
  • Order history on the contact and beside the conversation
  • Export for accounts and fulfilment

Stock and follow-through

  • Stock decremented on confirmation, restored on cancellation
  • Low-stock and out-of-stock flags
  • CRM deals opened or advanced by an order
  • Automated confirmation and dispatch messages

In practice

Three businesses, three ways

A sweet shop at Diwali

The same twelve photos sent two hundred times a week.

A catalogue message replaces all of it, and the orders arrive as records rather than as chat.

A boutique

Stock is one of each, and double-selling is the nightmare.

Stock decrements on confirmation, and sold items stop being offered.

A wholesaler

Dealers reorder the same lines every month.

A hidden wholesale collection, sent only to the dealer segment, with reorder reminders automated.

Pricing

Two ways to get it

Take this module on its own, or as part of a plan that includes it. Either way the price is the software only — WhatsApp conversations are billed to you by Meta at their rates.

Plans that include it

A bundle is usually cheaper than three modules bought separately — and add-ons only ever add, so nothing you already have is affected.

Questions

Does this replace my online store?

No — it complements it. Most customers here sell in the chat because that is where the conversation already is.

Can I take payment inside WhatsApp?

Payment is taken the way you take it today — a link, a transfer, or on delivery. The order record holds what was agreed either way.

How many products can I list?

Metered by plan, and counted live. Most small catalogues are well under any plan’s limit.

What if Meta rejects a product?

The reason is shown in the panel. It is usually an image or a restricted category, and you fix and resubmit from the same screen.

Does stock sync with my other systems?

Through the developer API and webhooks, yes. Natively, stock lives here and decrements when an order is confirmed.
