Take App vs Milkshake
Milkshake makes a good-looking bio site in ten minutes, entirely on your phone. Take App makes a shop: a catalog with prices, options and stock, local payment methods, delivery or pickup, and every order landing in your WhatsApp.
All comparisonsWhy businesses pick Take App
A cart and a real catalog: options, add-ons, stock counts, delivery fees and pickup times — not one product per card.
Local payment methods and cash on delivery, not just Stripe cards, and no per-sale fee on any plan.
Orders, payment reminders and delivery updates all happen in WhatsApp, and you can edit everything from a phone or a laptop.
Feature by feature
The rows are what chat-first businesses ask us about most. Where Milkshake covers something through a paid add-on, or only in some countries, the cell says so instead of a cross.

Built for the market you actually sell in
100+ payment methods and local couriers across 180+ countries — the wallets, bank transfers, and cash on delivery your customers already use, not just cards.
Where Milkshake draws the line
Milkshake's Sell Card runs on Stripe, so a customer who pays by wallet, bank transfer or cash on delivery cannot finish a purchase — and in most of the markets we serve, that is the majority of orders. Take App supports 100+ payment methods across 180+ countries, and the order arrives in the WhatsApp thread the customer was already messaging you in.
Why WhatsApp, and not email
Across Southeast Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East, a customer messages a shop long before they would open an email. Take App puts the order form, the payment reminder, the delivery update and the follow-up in that same thread — so nothing waits on an inbox nobody checks.
What you get on day one
No add-ons to install, no theme to build — every plan starts with the whole ordering flow.
