Self-service ordering

Let customers order themselves, right from WhatsApp.

Customers send one message, get your store link back, and order and pay there, without anyone having to take the order for them.

How it works

No one has to take the order.

  1. Share your ordering link

    TAB generates it when you finish setting up. Put it in your bio, your status, a flyer or a reply.

  2. The customer sends one message

    They tap the link and send the message WhatsApp fills in. The reply gives them your store link.

  3. They order on your store

    They pick items and check out on your store, with prices and stock straight from your catalogue.

  4. Confirmation comes back to the chat

    They pay by card or transfer, and the confirmation arrives in WhatsApp. Later they can reply to track the order or order the same again.

One list

The chat, the link and the counter all end up here

Your store link and your WhatsApp link at the top, and every order under them.

The paperwork around the chat

What the thread stops having to be

  • Orders without the typing

    Today
    Orders copied out onto paper
    With TAB
    A complete order, priced from your catalogue

    The customer stays in WhatsApp, where they already are. The order arrives with items, quantities and a total.

  • Payment without the screenshot

    Today
    An account number typed out, then a wait
    With TAB
    Paid on your store, confirmed in the chat

    Card (NGN or USD) or bank transfer, collected in TAB and attached to the order it paid for.

  • A record you did not have to keep

    Today
    Screenshots matched against a bank app
    With TAB
    History per customer, totals per item

    Every order is attached to the person who placed it, so the record exists without anyone writing one.

  • Takings that add up

    Today
    “What sold last month?” means scrolling
    With TAB
    A total per item, sent first thing

    Collections arrive together rather than as forty transfers to match by hand, and the report says what sold.

A second door

For customers who would rather browse than message

Some customers will never start a conversation to ask a price. They want to look, decide and pay without talking to anyone.

Your storefront is the same catalogue as a web page: same items, same stock, same payment. It is a link for your bio, a status or a flyer, and it works on Instagram too.

Two ways to sell

One catalogue. Two ways to sell.

  • WhatsApp self-ordering

    One message brings back your store link, and customers order and pay without waiting for a reply.

  • Online storefront

    A page on your own link for people who would rather browse. It works in an Instagram bio too.

  • One stock record

    Both draw on the same count, so what sells out in one comes off the other.

  • Delivery or pickup

    Customers choose at checkout, and you decide which of the two you offer.

  • Customer records and loyalty

    Every order attached to the customer who placed it, with points and tiers for your regulars.

  • A report first thing

    Totals per item, arriving on your phone at the end of the day rather than a scroll you never do.

What sold

A record you did not have to keep

“What sold last month?” is usually a scroll. It is also the question every decision depends on: what to restock, what to stop carrying, what to push.

Because each order was complete the moment it was placed, the answer already exists: totals per item, history per customer, takings per day.
