CatalogPe vs WhatsApp Business catalog
The WhatsApp Business catalog is built into the WhatsApp app and holds up to 500 items, and customers browse it inside WhatsApp. CatalogPe is a web catalog link that opens in any browser, adds Hinglish smart search, kg/gram units with minimum quantities, colours with photos and CSV bulk upload, and still sends orders to your WhatsApp. Many shops use both.

Which should you choose?
If you have a few products and your customers already chat with you on WhatsApp, the built-in catalog is a good start. If you sell loose items by weight, have many products, want customers to search easily, or want to share one link on Status, Instagram and a QR code, CatalogPe is built for that — and orders still arrive on your WhatsApp.
Sawaal-jawab (FAQ)
Can I use CatalogPe and the WhatsApp Business catalog together?
Yes. They don't conflict — many shops share the CatalogPe link for browsing and still chat on WhatsApp Business.
Does CatalogPe need the WhatsApp Business API?
No. Orders are sent as a normal WhatsApp message to your number, so no API or approval is needed.
