Conversational commerce workflow

Turn WhatsApp enquiries into structured orders instead of unorganised chat messages.

Many customers prefer WhatsApp, but a plain chat button leaves staff to ask for the same product, quantity, address and payment details repeatedly. Kailvex can create a structured ordering path that assembles the cart or form information before the conversation begins. The business keeps the convenience of WhatsApp while reducing missing details and manual calculation.

What the solution may include

Capabilities selected around the actual operating workflow.

Every feature remains subject to written scope, platform capability, data readiness and third-party approval.

Cart-to-WhatsApp hand-off

Generate a readable message containing products, quantities, prices, totals and an order reference.

Form-based ordering

Collect customer, delivery and product details before opening the WhatsApp conversation.

WooCommerce order creation

Create an on-hold or pending order in the store when the agreed workflow requires an internal order record.

Staff routing

Send enquiries to a central number or route them based on branch, category or service when practical.

Payment instructions

Provide approved payment choices without exposing credentials or implying payment is complete before verification.

Order acknowledgement

Display a clear confirmation page and explain what the customer should expect next.

Practical outcomes

Reduce operational friction without making unsupported promises.

The goal is a maintainable system that makes responsibilities, statuses and customer expectations easier to understand.

01

Complete first message

Staff receive the essential order details at the start of the conversation.

02

Reduced calculation errors

Totals can come from the website cart rather than being manually reconstructed in chat.

03

Better order records

Orders can be recorded in the website before or during the WhatsApp follow-up.

04

Clear customer expectations

The page can explain confirmation, payment and delivery steps before the chat opens.

Delivery approach

Decisions are documented before the system is treated as complete.

Discovery, prototyping, implementation and acceptance are connected to the same approved business rules.

01

Current flow review

Map how enquiries arrive, who replies and when an order becomes confirmed.

02

Message design

Define the exact fields, wording and privacy notice included in the hand-off.

03

Store or form integration

Connect the workflow to the catalogue, cart or custom order form.

04

Device testing

Test Android, iPhone, desktop WhatsApp, missing app states and long order messages.

Scope and responsibility

Important boundaries to confirm before implementation.

Kailvex documents technical responsibilities, but the customer remains responsible for business policies, lawful operations and information supplied for the project.

  • WhatsApp is a third-party platform; availability, policies, account restrictions and API pricing are controlled by Meta.
  • Opening a chat does not by itself create a legally confirmed sale unless the merchant’s process says so.
  • Sensitive payment credentials should never be requested or sent through an ordinary order message.
  • Marketing messages require appropriate consent and must follow applicable platform and privacy rules.
Frequently asked

Questions to resolve before approval.

Yes. Product names, quantities, totals and selected customer details can be formatted into a structured message.

It can. A pending or on-hold order can be created before the chat opens when this is part of the approved workflow.

Not always. Simple click-to-chat flows do not require the API, while automated templates, notifications or team workflows may require official API access.

Yes, provided the merchant defines when each option is available and how payment confirmation is verified.
