Best For
Informal WhatsApp Sellers
Vendors who already sell over WhatsApp chats can organize their products into one catalog and link instead of sending photos one at a time.
Micro-Businesses Without a Website
Small business owners who want an online shopfront but cannot justify the cost or complexity of a full website.
Side-Hustle and Social Sellers
People selling from Instagram, WhatsApp status, or word of mouth who need a simple link to share their full product range.
