The lesson

The WhatsApp Business app is designed for small businesses that manage conversations themselves. Set up a profile with name, description, hours, location and contact.

A catalogue showcases products and services with photos and prices; quick replies save time on common messages; labels organise chats such as 'new order' or 'paid'.

Greeting and away messages respond automatically when you cannot.

  1. Create the business profile.
  2. Add three catalogue items.
  3. Create quick replies.
  4. Set labels and away messages.
