The problem

Why it exists.

For African conversational commerce, the sale happens in the DMs, and bargaining is the culture. Sellers lose deals to slow replies and juggling channels. WhatBiz puts an AI sales agent in every chat and threads a real checkout through it.

WhatBiz automates the entire sales cycle inside messaging apps, the conversation, the cataloging, the negotiation, the checkout and the receipt, in one elegant loop. Built on Next.js, Supabase, and the official Meta/WhatsApp APIs.

What's inside

Every surface, shipped.

01

AI Copilot takes the chat

Welcomes customers, understands inquiries, and acts as a digital sales agent, a real conversation, not a menu tree.

02

Automated cataloging

Pulls live inventory into the chat: 'Do you have this in blue?' returns real options with prices.

03

Automated price negotiation

The AI haggles within seller-set guardrails, a genuine game-changer for markets where bargaining is expected.

04

Cart-to-chat checkout

A no-login, mobile-first storefront from a bio link compiles the cart into a clean pre-filled WhatsApp order and injects it back to the seller.

05

Paystack links inside the chat

Payment links are generated and sent inside the conversation, the close happens where the customer already is.

06

WhatBiz Tools

Free native utilities: WhatsApp receipt generator (clean text or PDF), invoice generator, and QR / wa.me link generators for physicaldigital onboarding.

Hard decisions

The calls that mattered.

01

Negotiation with guardrails

problem · An AI that haggles freely could give away margin.

call · Sellers set floors and rules; the agent negotiates inside them, so bargaining feels human but never breaks the books.

02

Hybrid checkout, not a walled store

problem · Forcing a login/store kills conversion where trust lives in the chat.

call · The storefront compiles a cart into a WhatsApp message and hands the close back to the seller's own chat, meeting buyers where they already are.

03

Omnichannel into one flow

problem · Sellers juggle WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger separately.

call · All three funnel into one structured flow and dashboard, so context and orders never fragment across apps.
