A WhatsApp catalogue your buyers can actually find
WhatsApp Business gives you a catalogue. What it doesn't give you is a shop: something buyers can search, share, find on Google, and trust. That's the gap a catalogue link closes.
The built-in catalogue vs a real one
The built-in catalogue lives inside your chat profile. Buyers must already have your number, scroll a flat list with no search or categories, and take your word on everything — no reviews, no verified badge, no order history. A TradeFeed catalogue is a real web page at your own link: searchable, organised by category, visible on Google, and carrying a Verified Seller card — your verification status, orders fulfilled, and reply time — on every page.
What your catalogue link adds
Discovery: your products appear on the TradeFeed marketplace and in Google searches, not just in chats you started. Order structure: buyers pick size, colour, and quantity themselves; the order arrives in your WhatsApp pre-filled with an order number. Trust: reviews from confirmed orders, verification, and live stats turn first-time browsers into buyers. One update, everywhere: change a price once and the link is current for everyone — no resending PDFs or re-posting.
Already have a WhatsApp catalogue? Bring it with you
You don't start from zero. The WhatsApp catalogue import pulls your photos, product names, and prices across in one go, and AI cleans up titles and descriptions. Most sellers are live in under ten minutes. From there, the catalogue-link method does the selling.

Frequently asked questions
- What's wrong with the WhatsApp Business built-in catalogue?
- Nothing — until you grow. It has no search or categories, buyers must already have your number to see it, it can't be found on Google, and there's no trust layer (no reviews, no verification, no order tracking). It's a brochure, not a shop.
- Can I keep using WhatsApp Business alongside TradeFeed?
- Yes — that's the point. Orders still arrive in your WhatsApp. TradeFeed replaces the catalogue part, not the conversation part.
- Can I move my existing WhatsApp catalogue over?
- Yes, in one import: photos, names, and prices come across, and AI tidies up the listings. See the import page for the walkthrough.
- Does a catalogue link work for wholesale?
- Yes. You can run wholesale and retail pricing on the same products, set minimum order quantities, and take structured bulk enquiries on WhatsApp.
- What does it cost?
- Free for 20 products. Paid plans from R99/month for unlimited products.
