WhatsApp Business can unfortunately still only be used on one phone. However, WhatsApp Business is currently experimenting with a beta version. This will allow you to use WhatsApp Business on 4 computers or laptops simultaneously.
So although it’s not possible for several colleagues to use WhatsApp Business on their mobiles, they can all use it on their computers! Want to know more about WhatsApp Business for multiple users, or sign up for the beta version? Check out our blog post for all the details: WhatsApp Business on multiple devices.
WhatsApp Business offers various tools that you can use to enhance your professional image.
Catalogue: display an overview of your products, which you can easily forward to customers.
Messaging tools: allows you to set various automatic messages. For example, if someone sends you a message outside of opening hours, you can include this information in a professional automated response. The customer will then know exactly when they can expect an answer.
Labels: you can retrieve messages more easily by attaching labels to them (such as “New customer” or “Waiting for response”).
Whatsapp Web: You can now manage WhatsApp Business from your desktop. This makes it easy to switch between chats and run your business at the same time!
