If you are running a business, you might have heard of WhatsApp Business. However, did you know that Telegram has also introduced a similar feature? This is what you should know about it.

Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp has announced Flows, which includes several new features aimed at speeding up getting things done with businesses in a WhatsApp chat. Offering a richer in-app shopping experience for both merchants and users, read on to find out more.

Utilizing Stripe Connect and Stripe Checkout, you can now pay businesses in WhatsApp chats for Singapore. Previously available in India and Brazil, this is obviously a partnership between Meta and Stripe so Singapore WhatsApp users can pay business using credit cards, debit cards or Singapore’s PayNow.

In another episode, WhatsApp is looking to bring in another feature for everyone. Although it's not new, the next update is bringing the 'filter chats' function officially from WhatsApp Business.

A subscription plan for WhatsApp users? That doesn't sound like a good idea but thankfully, it's a feature offered to business accounts. It's not available right now, as it is now under development by the WhatsApp team so here's what we know about it so far.

For most WhatsApp users, the Multi-device feature was the one that's worth noting in 2021. But business users are all hoping for a way to monetise the platform, and the company has been working on that for months. Now, we have some hints on ad creation for the platform.

Ever since Facebook took charge of the WhatsApp messaging platform, the company has added more features to it which no longer just a simple messaging app anymore. Recently, WhatsApp has just added a “Shopping Button” and today, the company continues on with an “ADD TO CART” feature.

Last year, Facebook announced its plans to put ads in WhatsApp sometime in 2020. It was thought that the plan was dropped earlier this year when the company disbanded the team working on the project, but it seems like that may not be the case. A recent report indicated that Facebook is still looking to implement ads into WhatsApp in the future.

In May 2019, Facebook announced that it will start selling ads on WhatsApp in 2020. However, it seems like the company has decided to drop that plan. Facebook has since disbanded the team that was formed to work on this project and remove all related coding from the app itself.

WhatsApp has always been trying to make things easier for business users since the launch of the business app in early 2018. It gives access to messaging metrics and other business-oriented tools such as programming auto-replies. Today, the company rolled out the Catalogs for its Business Applications.
