How do customers order from my WhatsApp catalog cart?
Updated 2 October 2026
Customers browse your catalog, add items to a cart and send the cart to your business chat as a message. You then confirm it by hand.
- The cart is a list of items. It is not a checkout, so address and payment are still agreed in the chat.
- Every cart arrives as a normal message, so a busy evening means many chats to answer.
- Confirm the items, the total, the address and the payment method before you start cooking.
- Keep your catalog up to date, because the cart only holds what the catalog shows.
Get finished orders, not carts
Customers send Hi on your WhatsApp number, tap Order Now and pick dishes, sizes and add-ons on the menu. The finished order lands in your dashboard and the partner app rings until you accept it.
