WhatsApp Automation Guides
Practical, no-fluff guides on automating orders, customer service, and catalogs on WhatsApp — written for the businesses actually running them.
What are WhatsApp automation guides?
WhatsApp automation guides explain how to set up a bot that handles orders, customer questions, and catalog browsing inside WhatsApp. These guides are written for business owners, not developers — they cover the specific workflow of each industry: restaurants, bakeries, pharmacies, grocery stores, and florists.
Each guide covers what the workflow looks like, what the bot handles, and what to look for if you are setting it up.

What is WhatsApp automation for a small business?
WhatsApp automation uses a bot to handle order-taking, customer questions, catalog browsing, and order confirmation inside WhatsApp. For small businesses, it replaces manual message handling — the customer orders without staff reading each message one at a time.
Which industries can use WhatsApp ordering automation?
Restaurants, pharmacies, grocery stores, bakeries, and florists use WhatsApp ordering automation most. Any business that takes orders over WhatsApp can use it — the workflow is adapted to how each industry handles orders.
Do I need a developer to set up WhatsApp automation?
No. Tools built for this, like Wabizo, handle the WhatsApp Business API setup and let you configure your catalog, messages, and order flow from a dashboard — no code required.
How much does WhatsApp ordering automation cost?
Wabizo starts at $40/month for up to 500 orders, with no per-message markup. Wati and Interakt use per-user and per-message pricing, which can be less predictable at higher volumes.
Can customers order in Roman Urdu on WhatsApp?
Yes. Wabizo reads English, Urdu script, and Roman Urdu, and auto-detects which one a customer is using. This matters in Pakistan, where most customers type phonetically in Roman Urdu rather than formal English.
How do I choose the right WhatsApp automation tool for my business?
Match the tool to your primary workflow. If it is order-taking, choose a tool built for ordering — catalog, cart, order confirmation, kitchen printing. If it is marketing and support, choose a marketing platform like Wati or Interakt. Read the industry-specific guide for your business type below.
