💬 WhatsApp Business Setup for Jamaican Shops

You already sell on WhatsApp. Here is how to make it work like a shop instead of a phone.

Switch and set the profile

WhatsApp Business is free and keeps your number. Business name as on Google, category, hours, address, a one-line description with your town, your wa.me link everywhere.

Catalog first

Your 10–20 best sellers with real photos and JMD prices. "How much?" becomes a tap; customers send you a cart.

Auto-replies

Away message outside hours ("we reply 9–5, leave your name and what you need"), and quick replies for /price, /pay, /hours, /location.

Labels as a CRM

New · Order pending · Paid · Owes money (yellow) · Follow up. Check yellow every Monday — it recovers real money.
