Your own shop link vs a WhatsApp catalogue
A WhatsApp Business catalogue is a good start for a few products. As orders grow, chats get hard to track. A shop link lets customers order and pay on their own, and you still share it on WhatsApp.
| Beecart | WhatsApp catalogue | |
|---|---|---|
| How customers order | Add to cart and check out themselves | Send a chat message; you confirm by hand |
| Payments | UPI, cards, netbanking and COD at checkout | Usually arranged in the chat (UPI ID or payment link) |
| Stock | Goes down with each order, per size and colour | You keep track yourself |
| Delivery charges and dates | Worked out by pincode at checkout | Calculated by you in the chat |
| Order tracking | Customer sees status and courier tracking | Updates sent by you |
| Sizes and colours | Each option with its own stock and price | Separate items or a note in the chat |
| Big catalogues | Search, categories, offers | Best for a small number of products |
Fees and features of other services change; check each provider for current details.
WhatsApp catalogue may suit you better if
- You sell a handful of products and enjoy chatting with every buyer.
