WhatsApp officially announced today the launch of a new feature, which until recently was a big secret, but which is now officially available to phone users all over the world, and it comes as a big surprise. WhatsApp has launched for companies the possibility to create virtual stores within its application, so that people can make online purchases through them, something that was not possible until recently.
WhatsApp launched this functionality with the explanations you can see below, but also the video clip which is meant to explain to us exactly what kind of major change is brought by this new functionality. WhatsApp chose the name "Carts" for this new function, and we are basically talking about shopping baskets that are integrated into the product catalogs that companies can create within the company's platform, and that facilitate shopping.
WhatsApp: OFFICIAL, New SECRET Function Launched on Phones
WhatsApp it offers users the opportunity to choose their favorite products from these shopping baskets, they are then sent to the companies as private messages, and this is how the purchase of the respective product is practically made. With almost 200 million people actively talking to various companies on the WhatsApp platform, the launch of this new feature does not come as a big surprise, as people are eager to get in touch with businesses.
WhatsApp it is not even the first platform of the Facebook company for which an implementation of this kind is made, the Americans have been doing something similar including for Instagram for some time, so we are only talking about an expansion. Facebook's ideas for WhatsApp are meant to expand sales services through applications, and to keep the world away from companies' online stores, so that more data about consumer habits can be recorded.
WhatsApp it will more than likely have extended functionalities of this kind so that more companies use the Facebook platform to sell their products, instead of promoting their own online stores.
