The Ultimate Guide to WhatsApp Selling: Boost Sales with WhatsApp Ecommerce Store & Groups



In the era of mobile-first communication, WhatsApp selling is becoming a top channel for ecommerce businesses. With over 2 billion users worldwide, WhatsApp is no longer just a messaging app—it’s a powerful platform for businesses to sell products, engage customers, and drive repeat sales. 

Whether you are a small business owner, online seller, or entrepreneur, this blog by WebMaxy will help you understand everything about selling on WhatsApp, from setting up your WhatsApp ecommerce store to using WhatsApp selling groups effectively. 

Why Sell Through WhatsApp? 

WhatsApp provides direct, personalized, and real-time interaction with customers. Here’s why selling through WhatsApp makes sense: 

  • High engagement rate (over 98% open rate) 

  • Personalized 1-on-1 communication 

  • No complex setup—just a phone and internet 

  • Great for localized and niche product sales 

  • Perfect for conversational commerce and instant responses 

 

Step-by-Step Guide to Selling on WhatsApp 

To begin WhatsApp selling, download the WhatsApp Business app. It offers business-specific features like: 

  • Business profile with address, website, and catalog 

  • Automated replies 

  • Labels to organize chats 

  • Product catalog setup 

This is the base of your WhatsApp ecommerce store. 

2. Create a WhatsApp Product Catalog 

WhatsApp allows you to add products directly to your catalog. You can include: 

  • Product image 

  • Price 

  • Description 

  • Product link (if applicable) 

Your catalog acts like a mini ecommerce store right within WhatsApp. 

3. Promote Your WhatsApp Store 

Share your WhatsApp business link across all platforms—Instagram bio, Facebook page, website, and email. Use a click-to-chat link (wa.me) so users can start a conversation instantly. 

Also, consider using WebMaxy’s WhatsApp automation tools to streamline customer communication. 

 

Using WhatsApp Selling Groups to Increase Reach 

One of the most effective strategies is creating or joining WhatsApp selling groups. These groups connect sellers with highly engaged buyers. Here's how to use them: 

  • Create niche groups (e.g., fashion deals, handmade crafts) 

  • Regularly post offers with product images, prices, and availability 

  • Offer group-exclusive discounts 

Tip: Keep groups engaged with polls, quizzes, and feedback to build trust.
