💬 WhatsApp Business for Jamaican Shops · Lesson 1 of 8 · free

📱 Switch to WhatsApp Business (and Set the Foundations)

The free switch most Jamaican sellers still haven't made — and the five settings to do in the first hour.

Why switch

WhatsApp Business is free, keeps your number, and adds the things a shop needs: a profile with hours and address, a catalog, automatic replies, quick replies, labels and a short link. Regular WhatsApp is a phone; Business is a counter.

First-hour setup

Business name exactly as on Google, category, address, hours, a one-line description with your town, a profile photo that is your logo or your face, and your website or Instagram link. Get your wa.me short link and put it everywhere.

The greeting that sells

'Hi! Thanks for messaging [Name]. Tell me what you need and I'll reply shortly — or tap the catalog to see prices.' Warm, fast, points to the catalog.

Homework

Switch today. Complete the profile. Send your wa.me link to five customers.
