Selling on WhatsApp: Take Orders Automatically Without an Online Store

Selling on WhatsApp and taking orders there has become the main channel for many Arab-market shops, for a clear reason: the customer asks and buys in the same conversation, with no cart and no account. All of it collapses if the reply is slow — the customer simply moves to the next shop.

Where orders actually leak

• A price or availability question after hours gets no reply at all.
• You answer two hours later and the customer has already bought elsewhere.
• Price or quantity errors when the order is copied over by hand.
• No tracking number, so the customer asks "where is my order?" ten times.

What can be automated

An AI assistant can show your products and prices from your catalog, including options such as size and colour, send a product photo, explain delivery options and fees, record the order, and give the customer a tracking code they can use later to check its status.

The non-negotiable: prices from your catalog, not the bot’s guess

The most dangerous failure in automated selling is a bot that invents a price or confirms an order that was never recorded. Insist that prices, stock, and totals come from your real data, and that a tracking code is only ever issued after the order genuinely exists.

Wakeel: from question to order in one conversation

Wakeel shows your products and prices from your catalog, takes the order with its product options after checking stock, and issues a real tracking code — with prices, stock, and totals always read from your data. Customers can track or cancel their own order within the window you set, and can only ever reach their own orders. Every new order appears in your dashboard, and you can also get an email for each one with email notifications switched on.

Products, orders, and delivery tracking are included from the Growth plan up — see the pricing page for details.
