How to sell on WhatsApp — without running the business in chat
Learn how to sell on WhatsApp as a channel, then move catalog, payments, and orders into an online store so chats do not become your operations system.
WhatsApp is where Nigerian customers already are. It is a great conversation channel. It is a poor inventory, payment, and order system. Use it to talk — not to run the company.
What WhatsApp is good at
Trust, follow-up, and quick answers. Many first sales still start with a message. Keep that. Do not keep product lists, receipts, and delivery notes only in the thread.
Where chat commerce breaks
You quote a price that changed. Two people sell the last unit. A customer pays and you cannot find the address. None of that is a messaging problem. It is a missing store.
The better setup
Share product links from your Vendcite store. Optionally enable WhatsApp ordering so people can still message you from a product page. Payments and fulfillment stay in Vendcite.
