WhatsApp has decided to enter the world of eCommerce by introducing a new feature: allowing users to purchase through its platform. Its aim is to boost and improve businesses using electronic commerce.
“The new feature is a response to the growing popularity of using chats to make purchases. It is a simpler buying and selling process,” the company said .
How to place an order?
This new business model is very simple. To make a french consumer fax list purchase, you only need to have the phone number of the restaurant or store you want to buy from saved on your mobile device. Then, you have to enter their chat, just as if you were talking to another person. The only difference is that, when you enter the seller's chat, right at the top of the screen, next to the name, you will see a shopping cart symbol . If you click on it, you will be able to see the store's catalogue, select the products you want, and then send the order to the company by sending a single message. And your order would be ready.
In addition, before placing the order, you will be able to see the basket with all the products you have added, where you can add more or remove some. The idea of creating this new tool was because users want to make their purchases in an easier and simpler way, and what better way than through WhatsApp?
WhatsApp faces the Christmas season
