ShopperOnline store vs selling only in WhatsApp and Instagram DMs
WhatsApp and Instagram are where your customers are — and you should keep selling there. But running your whole business inside chats means retyping prices, calculating delivery and losing orders in long threads. A Shopper store gives every chat a link to order from, and sends the order back to your WhatsApp.
| Shopper | selling only on WhatsApp & Instagram | |
|---|---|---|
| Prices & options | One link with every product, price, size and colour | Sent one by one, over and over |
| Delivery fees | Calculated automatically at checkout | Worked out in each chat |
| Orders | Arrive on WhatsApp fully written out, and tracked in your dashboard | Scattered across chats and screenshots |
| Payments | Bank transfer details, cash on delivery or card — recorded on each order | "I've paid" screenshots to match up by hand |
| Trust | A real store with receipts and order emails | "Is this page legit?" |
| Cost | Free to start | Free — but costs you hours every day |
Choose Shopper if…
- You're answering the same price questions all day
- You've lost orders because a chat got buried
- You want customers to trust you enough to pay before delivery
selling only on WhatsApp & Instagram may suit you better if…
- • You only sell a handful of items to people you know personally
