One WhatsApp number. Your whole team.

Answer every customer from a shared inbox, let automations handle the routine questions, and sell from a WhatsApp shop that takes MTN MoMo and Airtel Money.

  • Official WhatsApp Cloud API
  • Keep your WhatsApp Business app
  • Pay with Mobile Money
  • No card needed

Made for businesses that sell and support on WhatsApp

  • Shops and boutiques
  • Clinics and pharmacies
  • Schools
  • Hardware and suppliers
  • Restaurants
  • SACCOs
  • Salons

Every chat, every teammate, one number.

No more passing one phone around the shop. Everyone signs in to the same inbox, picks up their conversations and sees who is already replying.

  • Assign and hand over. By hand or round-robin, with Open, Pending and Closed.
  • No double replies. See "David is typing" before you answer.
  • Notes only the team sees. Leave context right inside the chat.
  • Saved replies. Type / for prices, directions and opening hours.

Everything your WhatsApp number can do, in one place.

Start with the inbox, then add automations, campaigns and a shop as you grow.

AI replies

Let AI answer from what you tell it about your products, prices and hours, and hand over when it isn't sure. Uses your own Claude, OpenAI or Gemini key.

We're open 8am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday. A teammate can help with anything else.

Contacts and tags

Import and export CSV, tag customers, and keep notes on each one. People who reply STOP are opted out of campaigns automatically.

    Switch on automations

    Pick a recipe, adjust the words, turn it on. Your team takes over whenever it's needed.

Sell where your customers already chat.

Customers browse your products, fill a cart and check out without leaving WhatsApp. They choose delivery to their area or pickup, and pay by Mobile Money, cash on delivery or at pickup.

  • Stock is tracked and restored if an order is cancelled
  • An itemised receipt is sent the moment they pay
  • Follow up on abandoned carts with one tap
  • Sales, stock value and top products in Reports

Bots that know when to step back.

Automations answer the routine questions and quietly get out of the way when a person should take over.

  • An agent's reply pauses the bot for that chat
  • Bots stay quiet on chats a teammate owns
  • After 24 hours, messages switch to approved templates
  • STOP opts a customer out; START opts them back in

Your system, inside the chat.

An automation step can call your own system and reply with what it returns: order status, fee balances, booking slots. Values like the customer's number are filled in safely, and keys are stored encrypted.

Questions, answered.

Still unsure? Email support and we will get back to you.

Can I keep my current WhatsApp number?

Yes. If you use the WhatsApp Business app, you can connect the same number and keep using the app on your phone: replies typed there appear in the shared inbox, and you can bring up to six months of history. You can also connect a new number instead.

Is this the official WhatsApp?

WA Desk runs on the official WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API) from Meta. Your number is connected through your own Meta Business account, unlike unofficial tools that can get a number blocked.

Who pays WhatsApp's message fees?

Meta bills WhatsApp's message fees directly to your business. We don't add anything on top. Your WA Desk plan covers the software: inbox, automations, campaigns and the shop.

What's included in the free trial?

14 days with 2 teammates, 500 contacts, 5 automations, 200 campaign messages and 100 MB of media storage, including the shop and AI steps. No card or payment is needed to start.

How do I pay?

With MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money, from the Billing page inside the app. Pay monthly, or yearly and get two months free.

What is the 24-hour window?

WhatsApp lets businesses send free-form messages within 24 hours of the customer's last message. After that, only approved templates can be sent. WA Desk shows how long the window has left and switches to templates when it closes.

Can buyers pay in the shop with Mobile Money?

Yes, once mobile money is approved for your shop. Payments go straight to your own provider account, and every payment is confirmed with the provider before the order is marked paid. Cash on delivery and pay at pickup work from day one.

What happens if my subscription runs out?

Nothing is deleted. Your inbox keeps receiving and answering messages, while automations, campaigns and adding teammates pause until you renew. Paid plans get a 3-day grace period.

Is my data safe?

Each workspace is kept separate, your WhatsApp token and API keys are stored encrypted, and every sign-up confirms its email address. You decide who on your team is an admin or an agent.
