WhatsApp Commerce That Actually Converts
Keep selling in chat — but send customers a proper product page and Paystack checkout instead of endless screenshots and manual payment chasing.
Conversation plus conversion
WhatsApp is where African customers ask about sizes, delivery, and availability. It is excellent for trust-building — but terrible as your only catalog when prices change weekly.
Bizgrid gives you a branded store link, structured product pages, and paid checkout so chats become orders with records — not vague promises in message history.
Marketing tools help you follow up and recover abandoned carts when someone browsed your link but did not pay.
Send links, not screenshot albums
Photo dumps in chat create confusion: which price is current, which colour is in stock, what delivery costs. A product URL answers those questions consistently.
Share individual product links in DMs, your full store in Status, and category highlights in broadcast lists. One update on the storefront fixes every link you have already sent.
Customers who need reassurance still chat with you — then you close with checkout, not another round of account numbers.
FAQs that reduce repetitive DMs
Publish delivery areas, timelines, return rules, and payment methods on your FAQ page. Link to it when the same questions appear daily.
That frees you to handle exceptions — custom orders, corporate bulk buys — instead of answering “do you deliver to Lekki?” for the fiftieth time.
Clear public answers also help AI search engines summarise your business accurately.
Prepaid orders improve fulfilment
Paystack checkout on your storefront means you dispatch after payment, not after hope. Fewer cancelled orders, less stock tied up in unpaid reservations.
Order records in your dashboard show what to pack without scrolling WhatsApp for screenshots of what the customer “said they wanted”.
Combine prepaid checkout with honest delivery messaging to build repeat buyers in your broadcast lists.
Recover browsers who ghosted
Someone asked for your catalog, opened three products, and went quiet. Abandoned-cart recovery and follow-up messages bring them back without awkward manual pings.
AI-drafted posts and recovery copy save time while keeping tone on-brand — useful when you are fulfilment and marketing in one person.
A simple WhatsApp sales workflow
1) Publish your Bizgrid store. 2) Put the link in WhatsApp Business profile and Status. 3) When customers DM, answer questions — then send the relevant product link. 4) Let checkout handle payment. 5) Confirm order in chat with tracking or pickup details.
Start with bestsellers linked individually. Expand to full catalog sharing as your team gets comfortable.

Frequently asked questions
Does Bizgrid replace WhatsApp?
No. WhatsApp stays your relationship channel. Bizgrid gives you product pages, checkout, and order records so WhatsApp conversations convert reliably.
Can I use WhatsApp Business catalog with Bizgrid?
Use WhatsApp for conversation and Status. Your Bizgrid storefront is the authoritative catalog with checkout — link to it instead of duplicating prices in multiple places.
Can I use Paystack with Bizgrid?
Yes. Bizgrid is built around Paystack so Nigerian and African sellers can accept card and local payments, then settle earnings to their bank.
Can I sell without coding?
Yes. Describe your shop in chat and Bizgrid generates a live storefront. You can refine copy, products, and design in plain language — no developers required.
Does Bizgrid support WhatsApp commerce?
Yes. Bizgrid helps you connect WhatsApp and social channels, follow up with buyers, and recover abandoned carts so more conversations turn into orders.
Can I connect my own domain?
Yes. Growth and Scale plans include custom domain support so your store can run on yourbrand.com instead of a Bizgrid subdomain.
