Browse, Ask and Order — All in One WhatsApp Conversation

Your catalogue, the order, the invoice and the delivery updates, without sending the customer anywhere else.

Short answer

WhatEdge puts your product catalogue inside WhatsApp, takes the order in the conversation, sends the invoice straight from Tally or Busy, keeps the customer updated through delivery, and brings them back with re-targeting and drip campaigns aimed at what they actually looked at.

The problem

Where communication breaks down in this business

01

Selling by sending photographs

You are already taking orders on WhatsApp — one product image at a time, prices quoted in the chat, the order kept on a slip of paper. It works until one person cannot keep up.

02

Invoices sent by hand, or not at all

The bill is in Tally or Busy. Getting it to the customer is a manual job that stops the moment things get busy.

03

Offers that nobody sees

Email gets ignored and SMS gets filtered. The offer was fine; the channel was the problem.

What you can automate

The messages worth taking off your team’s hands

Each of these runs on its own once it is set up. Nobody has to remember, and nobody has to type.

01
Order confirmation and receipt

Sent the moment the order is placed, so the customer has a record and your desk gets no call.

02
Invoice delivery from Tally or Busy

The bill goes out as it is raised, PDF attached, to the number on your ledger.

03
Dispatch and delivery updates

Packed, dispatched, out for delivery, delivered — each stage sent automatically.

04
Abandoned-cart re-targeting

Triggered by what they actually did on your site, with the cart contents and a reason to come back.

05
Review and feedback requests

Asked after delivery, when satisfaction is at its highest.

06
Restock and back-in-stock alerts

Only to the customers who asked about that item.

07
Reorder and loyalty reminders

Timed to how long the product actually lasts.

Campaigns

And the campaigns worth running

Automation handles what should happen every time. Campaigns are what you choose to send, to the people it is actually for.

  • New arrivals to the segment that bought that category before
  • Sale and festival offers to your full customer list
  • Clearance broadcasts targeted by past purchase
  • Loyalty and win-back campaigns for customers who have gone quiet
The number to watch

Repeat purchase rate, and support calls asking about order status

This is the metric we would hold WhatEdge to in your business. If it has not moved after a couple of months, the system is not earning its keep — and we would rather have that conversation than keep billing you.

FAQ

Common questions

The WhatsApp Business app is built for one person answering a phone. The API is what a business uses when it needs several people on one number, bulk messaging that is permitted rather than tolerated, automation, and integration with its own systems. There is no app to download — the API is used through a platform like WhatEdge. If more than one person answers your customers, or you want messages to send themselves, you need the API.

No. No WhatEdge plan caps how much you send. Your daily reach is governed by your Meta messaging tier, which rises automatically as your quality rating stays healthy. Plans differ on agents, chatbot automations and advanced features — never on message volume.

Yes — on the official API, using approved templates, to people who have agreed to hear from you. What gets numbers banned is unofficial panels that automate the regular WhatsApp app, and messaging bought lists. We only operate on the official API, and we will tell you if a campaign looks likely to damage your quality rating.
