Your shop. Your orders. Actually yours.

How it works

From WhatsApp chat to delivered order

Customers never need an app. Merchants can do almost everything in the same WhatsApp bot — the web portal is a nice extra.

  1. 1

    Chat on WhatsApp

    Customers message the marketplace, browse nearby shops, pick products, and confirm a delivery address in the conversation.

  2. 2

    Merchants run the shop in chat

    Handle orders, create a store, and add or update products from the bot. Prefer a screen? Use the optional portal anytime.

  3. 3

    Drivers deliver

    When an order is ready, drivers claim the job, pick it up, deliver, and collect pay-on-delivery when needed.

Who it's for

One marketplace, three sides

Customers and merchants stay on WhatsApp. Drivers (and merchants who want) get a portal for the bigger picture.

Customers

Find nearby shops, place orders, save a delivery address, and track progress — without installing anything.

WhatsApp only

Merchants

Create your store, manage catalog, and process orders from the bot. The portal is optional if you want dashboards and analytics.

Drivers

See open delivery jobs, claim work, mark pickup and delivery, and review your completed deliveries.

WhatsApp bot for merchants

Everything from the chat — portal is optional

You do not need the web portal to sell. The bot can run your store day to day. Open the portal only when you want charts, a wider screen, or a second way to work.

Wish to use the portal? Great. Prefer WhatsApp only? That works too.

  • Handle orders in chat

    See new orders, update status, and keep customers moving — without leaving WhatsApp.

  • Create and manage your store

    Set up your shop from the bot, update details, and keep your business findable for nearby customers.

  • Full product CRUD

    Add, edit, list, and remove products or menu items from the conversation — same power as the portal catalog.

  • Images & PDF catalogues

    Send product photos or a PDF catalogue. The bot reads prices and descriptions and adds items to your store for you.

Optional merchant portal

Use it when you want — not because you must

The portal is a wish, not a requirement. Keep working in WhatsApp, or open the web UI for analytics, tables, and a desktop-friendly view.

Try the merchant portal
  • Same orders, bigger screen

    Browse and update orders in a table view when a laptop is easier than chat.

  • CRM analytics

    Day, week, month, year, or custom dates — customers, top products, per-store revenue, and growth charts.

  • Simple, safer login

    Phone + password, with WhatsApp OTP only once a month on a trusted device.
