Who Should Use a WaContacts Store?
The WaContacts store is perfect for:
- Fashion sellers with multiple items (dresses, shoes, bags)
- Food vendors with a product range
- Cosmetics and skincare sellers
- Electronics and accessories traders
- Any seller with more than 3–4 products to display
How to Enable Your Store
Step 1: Log in to your WaContacts dashboard and open your WaContacts settings.
Step 2: Go to the Shop tab and toggle your store to On.
Step 3: Add a store title (e.g. "Amaka's Fashion Boutique") and, optionally, your website URL.
Step 4: Click Add Product and fill in your product details — name, price, description, and image.
Step 5: Repeat for each product you want to list. You can organise them into collections.
Step 6: Your store now appears on your WaContacts page. Share your profile link and let buyers browse.
Tips for a Great Store
- Use clear, well-lit product photos — blurry images lose buyers
- Write honest descriptions — size, colour, material, and delivery details matter
- Keep prices up to date — stale prices erode trust
- Add a WhatsApp pre-fill message — "Hi, I saw your store on WaContacts and I'm interested in..."
