## Accept customer orders on WhatsApp
Make ordering simple, fast, and convenient by keeping customers on a single channel. WhatsApp ordering allows customers to browse products, place orders, and complete purchases directly within WhatsApp. With Infobip’s WhatsApp ordering system, you can automate the entire process, from catalog browsing to order confirmation - all within a single chat.
## Easily customize WhatsApp ordering journeys
1. The customer scans a QR code, clicks a link, or messages your business.
1. A chatbot or automated flow greets the customer.
1. The customer browses a product catalog, menu, or service list using interactive WhatsApp messages.
1. The customer selects items, confirms quantities, and provides delivery or pickup details.
1. The system receives the order, processes it, and sends a confirmation or receipt.
1. Optionally, send payment links, tracking updates, or reorder reminders.
## Keep customers informed after they order
Improve the post-ordering experience with WhatsApp Utility messages and Business Calling support.
Notify customers when:
1. Orders are confirmed or processed
1. Shipments are dispatched or out for delivery
1. Pickup or delivery is ready
