What is Whatsapp Catalog?
People love chatting on WhatsApp with their favorite local businesses, but having to exchange multiple messages and pictures to get product information is time-consuming. Whatsapp makes it easier to learn about the products and services businesses offer with the introduction of catalogs in the WhatsApp Business app.
Catalogs are a mobile storefront for businesses to showcase and share their products so people can easily browse and find something they would like to buy. Each catalog has its own price, description, images, product name.
Previously businesses had to send product pictures one at a time and repeatedly provide information to individually to each customer — now customers can see their full catalog right within WhatsApp. This makes business owners look more professional and keeps customers engaged in the chat without having to visit a website.
