Catalog Sharing on WhatsApp: How ZöTok Solves the Catalogue and Image-Sending Problem for Traders and Business Owners
Posted by ZöTok on December 19, 2024•5 min read
For traders, wholesalers, and small business owners, WhatsApp has become an indispensable tool for conducting business. However, one persistent pain point continues to hinder smooth operations - the complicated process of sharing product catalogues and images. WhatsApp's image limitations, the time-consuming process of re-sending pictures, and the inability to create dynamic catalogues often result in lost opportunities and inefficiencies.
The Problem
For many traders, sharing product details means sending multiple images one-by-one, re-sending them for new inquiries, and constantly dealing with file size restrictions. WhatsApp's built-in catalog feature, while useful, has significant limitations - a cap on the number of photos, inability to update in real-time, and no easy way to send a cohesive, organized catalog link.
This process is not only frustrating but also inefficient. Potential customers often have to scroll through long chats, re-request images, or miss out on new product updates altogether. This slows down sales, wastes time, and limits growth potential.
The Solution: ZöTok's Clickable, Dynamic Product Catalog
Enter ZöTok — a game-changer for traders and business owners. ZöTok offers a clickable, dynamic catalog that removes all the limitations of WhatsApp's existing catalog system.

- Dynamic, Always-Updated Catalog: Unlike WhatsApp's static catalog, ZöTok's catalog is dynamic. Add, update, or remove products in real-time. Customers will always see the most up-to-date collection, eliminating the need to constantly re-send images.
