What is a WhatsApp store?

A small online store, sometimes called a WhatsApp shop, made to be shared over WhatsApp: a product catalog and checkout behind one link. Customers browse and order from the link, and every order lands in your WhatsApp as a clean, complete message.

How do I create a WhatsApp store?

Sign up free, add products with photos and prices, and share the store link Take App gives you in chats, your status, groups or as a QR code. Most stores are live the same day, and there is no code involved.

Is a WhatsApp store really free?

Yes. On the free plan you create your store, add products, take WhatsApp orders and get paid. Take App charges no commission on your sales on any plan. Upgrade only when you want extras like a custom domain.

What is the difference between a WhatsApp catalog and a WhatsApp store?

The catalog in the WhatsApp Business app is a product list customers flip through inside a chat. A WhatsApp store is a full web page with variants and options, a cart, delivery details, checkout and payment, and the order reaches you already structured. Many businesses keep both and let the store link do the selling.

Do my customers need to install an app?

No. The store link opens in the phone's browser, and the order comes back to you through WhatsApp, the app your customers already use. There is no account for them to create.

Do I need WhatsApp Business or the API?

No API and no approval process. A Take App store works with the regular WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business app you already have, and orders arrive in the same chats you use today.

Step by step

How to Create a WhatsApp Store

Three steps from an empty phone to your first order. No code and no developer.

Add your products

Sign up free and add products with photos, prices and options. Your store and its link exist the moment you save the first one.

Share your store link

Drop the link in a chat, your WhatsApp status, a group or your Instagram bio, or print its QR code for the counter. Anywhere a link goes, your store goes.

Take orders on WhatsApp

Customers browse, pick options and check out. Each order arrives in your WhatsApp as one complete message and shows up on your dashboard, paid or ready to pay.

Create your free store

A Real Store, Ready Today

No theme to fight and nothing to install: add products, pick your store name, share the link. The cart, checkout and order messages are already built, so setup takes an afternoon at most, not a weekend.

A Catalog That Takes the Order

Photos, categories, variants and add-ons, with a total that updates as customers choose. It reads like a menu and works like an order form, so browsing turns into an order without you typing a word.

Orders Arrive as One Clean Message

Checkout turns the cart into a structured WhatsApp message with the items, options, address and total, sent straight to your number. No twenty-question back-and-forth and nothing to copy into a notebook.

Get Paid However Your Customers Pay

Local wallets, bank transfer, QR standards, cards and cash on delivery: 100+ payment methods across 180+ countries, and Take App takes no commission on any of them.

A Store Google Can Find

Your WhatsApp store is a real web page with its own link, so Google can index it and any browser can open it. Regulars reach it from chat. New customers find it from search.
