1. What is it?
A WhatsApp store for cooperatives and artisan associations lets multiple artisans sell from one catalog. Customers browse, choose pieces from different artisans, and the order arrives centralized to the person in charge via WhatsApp. Each product can indicate the artisan or technique. A professional way to sell crafts together without each needing their own online store.
One link, multiple artisans. Orders arrive organized. One person coordinates. Ideal for cooperatives, craft associations, and artisan groups.
2. How it works
- Add products from all members: Each artisan adds their pieces. Indicate artisan or technique in the description.
- Organize by artisan or type: By artisan, technique, or product type. Customers browse the full collection.
- Share the link: One link for the cooperative. Social media, events, or fairs.
