*WhatsApp product messages and catalog features for business. How to use new messaging options to boost sales with the WhatsApp Business API and Spoki.*

---

**WhatsApp** continues to add **features** for **businesses**: **product** **messages**, **catalog** **updates**, and **rich** **messaging** **options** that help **brands** **showcase** **products** and **drive** **sales** inside **conversations**. With the **WhatsApp** **Business** **API**, **companies** can send **product** **listings**, **pricing**, and **links** so **customers** can **browse** and **buy** without leaving **chat**.

This guide covers **what&#8217;s** **new** with **WhatsApp** for **sales**: **product** **messages** and **catalogs**, **approved** **templates** for **first** **contact**, **compliance**, and how **platforms** like Spoki help **businesses** **use** these **features** to **boost** **sales**. For **solutions** that support **WhatsApp** **Business** **API** and **product** **messaging**, see [Spoki solutions](https://spoki.com/en/solutions) and [features](https://spoki.com/en/features).]]></text>

    <section level="2" heading="Product Messages and Catalogs on WhatsApp">
      <text><![CDATA[**WhatsApp** **product** **messages** let **businesses** send **product** **cards** with **image**, **title**, **description**, **price**, and **link** to **customers**. **Catalogs** allow **businesses** to **maintain** a **list** of **products** that **customers** can **browse** in **chat**. When **customers** **reply** to a **template** or **message** within the **24-hour** **session**, **agents** or **automation** can send **product** **messages** or **catalog** **links** to **recommend** **items** and **close** **deals**. **Product** **messages** work best when **combined** with **approved** **templates** for **first** **contact** and **clear** **opt-in** for **marketing**. For [use cases](https://spoki.com/en/use-cases) and [customer support](https://spoki.com/en/customer-support), see the links.]]></text>

    <section level="2" heading="How to Use Product Messages Within WhatsApp Policy">
      <text><![CDATA[**WhatsApp** **policy** requires **approved** **templates** for the **first** **message** and after the **24-hour** **session** ends. **Product** **messages** and **catalog** **links** can be sent within the **session** when **customers** have **initiated** **conversation** or **replied**. **Businesses** should: **use** **templates** to **start** **conversations** (e.g. **welcome**, **order** **update**); **send** **product** **messages** or **catalog** **links** in **reply** to **customer** **queries** or **interest**; **honour** **opt-out** and **avoid** **spam**. **Platforms** like Spoki help you manage **templates** and **conversations** so **product** **messaging** stays **compliant** and **effective**. For [pricing](https://spoki.com/en/pricing) and [registration](https://spoki.com/en/landing-registration), see the links; you can [book a demo](https://spoki.com/en/book).

**When** **product** **messages** work best: after a **customer** has **asked** for **recommendations**, **clicked** a **template** **button** (e.g. &#8220;See products&#8221;), or **replied** within the **24-hour** **session**. **Avoid** sending **catalog** **links** or **product** **cards** as the **first** **message** without **approval**—use an **approved** **template** first, then **follow** **up** with **product** **content** in **reply**.

**Practical tips:**

- **Keep** **product** **cards** **clear** and **scannable** (good **image**, short **title**, **price** visible).

- **Use** **product** **messages** to **follow** **up** on **conversations** (e.g. **customer** asked for **recommendations**).

- **Track** **conversion** from **product** **message** **views** to **clicks** and **purchases** to **optimise** **sales** **flows**.]]></text>

      <text><![CDATA[**Sales** **teams** can **send** **product** **messages** **manually** in **reply** to **customers**, or **automation** can **suggest** **products** based on **keywords** or **previous** **conversation**. **Inbox** **tools** let **agents** see **conversation** **history**, **attach** **product** **cards** or **catalog** **links**, and **close** **deals** in **chat**. **Integration** with **e-commerce** or **CRM** keeps **product** **data** and **order** **history** in sync so **agents** **recommend** the **right** **products**. **Platforms** that support **WhatsApp** **Business** **API**, **templates**, and **inbox** (like Spoki) help **businesses** **boost** **sales** with **product** **messages** while staying **compliant**.

    <section level="2" heading="Use Cases: Where Product Messages Drive Sales">
      <text><![CDATA[**Product** **messages** and **catalogs** fit **well** in **conversational** **commerce** and **support** **flows**:

- **Post-purchase:** After **order** **confirmation**, send a **template**; when **customer** **replies**, **agents** or **automation** can **suggest** **complementary** **products** via **product** **cards** or **catalog** **link**—in **context**, not **cold**.

- **Inquiry to sale:** **Customer** asks &#8220;Do you have X?&#8221; or &#8220;What colours are available?&#8221; → **agent** **sends** **product** **messages** with **image**, **price**, and **link**; **customer** **clicks** and **completes** **purchase** on **website** or **checkout** **link**.

- **Re-engagement:** **Approved** **template** **re-opens** **conversation** (e.g. &#8220;New arrivals in your favourite category&#8221;); **customer** **replies** → **session** **starts** → **agent** or **bot** **sends** **product** **messages** or **catalog** **link**.

**Integrating** **product** **messages** with **inbox** and **CRM** (e.g. via [Spoki features](https://spoki.com/en/features)) keeps **conversations** and **orders** in one place and helps **teams** **track** **conversion** from **message** to **sale**. **Best** **results** come when **product** **cards** are **clear**, **prices** are **up** **to** **date**, and **agents** **reply** **quickly** so **customers** **stay** in **session** and **complete** **purchase**. **Use** the [ROI calculator](https://spoki.com/en/roi-calculator) to **estimate** **impact** of **conversational** **sales** and **product** **messaging** on **revenue**; [book a demo](https://spoki.com/en/book) to **see** **product** **messages** and **catalogs** in **action** on the **WhatsApp** **Business** **API**.]]></text>

    <section level="2" heading="Compliance and Best Practices for Product Messaging">
      <text><![CDATA[**Product** **messages** must **follow** **WhatsApp** **policy**: **templates** for **first** **message** and **re-engagement**; **opt-in** for **marketing**; **opt-out** **honoured**; **no** **spam** or **unsolicited** **bulk** **messages**. **Businesses** should **store** **conversation** **data** in line with **privacy** **laws** and **avoid** **sharing** **sensitive** **data** in **plain** **text**. **Best** **practice**: **use** **product** **messages** to **respond** to **customer** **interest**, not to **blast** **catalogs** without **context**.
