The problem many has is that they do not understand things deeply. Digital biz cards can only complement the normal card but not phasing it out and there are reasons for that.

Can you please enlighten us with your opinion, how can Digital biz card complement the normal card?

I actually tried this with one of the tools that offers a 14-day free trial — no need for a card or upfront payment. It was super easy to set up, and I got my WhatsApp store link in minutes.

The one I used is called Kadiloop (kadiloop.com.ng). You can upload your products, set prices, and customers can order straight via WhatsApp. I was able to customize my store link too.

It’s definitely worth checking out if you're serious about selling online without stress. No hidden charges during the trial — just test it and see how it works for your business.

If you're selling products in Nigeria and still replying “DM for price” every day, you're working too hard.

There’s now a simple way to set up a mini online store that links directly to your WhatsApp — no coding, no stress.

In this post, I’ll explain how to:

1. Create a digital storefront for your products
2. Let customers browse, click, and chat with you directly
3. Do it all in under 30 minutes from your phone


What is a WhatsApp Store?

A WhatsApp store is a simple webpage that displays your products with images, prices, and an “Order Now” button. Once a customer clicks, they’re redirected to your WhatsApp with the product info already filled in.

You don’t need a website, tech skills, or Instagram followers.


Why WhatsApp Stores Work

1. Over 95% of Nigerian internet users are active on WhatsApp
2. Customers trust WhatsApp because they can speak with a real person
3. It saves you the stress of typing product details repeatedly

You can update your store anytime, add or remove products, and share the link on WhatsApp, Facebook, and even your bio.

How to Create Your Own WhatsApp Store

There are now platforms that let you set up a store and link it to your WhatsApp in minutes. One such tool offers a 14-day free trial where you can:

1. Create a custom store link (e.g. yourname.com.ng/store)
2. Upload products with images, prices, and descriptions
3. Let customers click to order via WhatsApp


You don’t need a debit card to try it out. Just register, set up your store, and start sharing the link.


Tips to Sell More Using WhatsApp Stores

1. Use clear, bright photos of your products
2. Keep descriptions short and simple
3. Add a bit of urgency: “Only 2 left” or “₦1,000 off today”
4. Reply fast when customers message you
5. Share your store link on status, groups, and DMs (don’t spam)


Example

Someone I know who sells skincare products switched to this method. In less than 7 days, she received over 50 orders — just by sharing her link on WhatsApp status and Facebook stories.

No paid ads. No website developer. Just smart selling.

Conclusion
WhatsApp stores are the new smart way to sell online in Nigeria. If you run a small business, side hustle, or even a personal brand, this can save you time and help you grow fast.

Test out one of the available tools — many of them offer a free trial so you can see how it works before committing.
