2. Tap the shopping icon in the top right corner next to the name of the business to open their catalog.
3. Browse through the items in the catalog. If you find one you'd like to order, just click "Add to Cart."
4. If you have a question about the item, you can click Message Business instead.
How to edit a WhatsApp cart
To edit your cart after you've added to it, and to send it:
1. Tap "View cart" to see all the items you've added.
2. If you want to go back to the catalogue to add more products, tap "Add More." If you want to adjust the quantity of an individual item in your cart, you can do that here, as well.
3. When you're satisfied with your cart, tap the Send button to send your cart to the seller as a message.
At this time, you can also ask general questions about the items or other things pertaining to your order.
You can also tap "View cart" in the message window to double check your order. If you need to change something, you can still message the business - orders won't go through until the business confirms them.
