Things?
WhatsApp Business is a special version of WhatsApp, designed for those who own a business. It was created to communicate faster and easier with your customers, provide them with useful information and thus improve your work.
How does it work
First of all, you cannot associate the same phone number with both WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business. You will then have to choose the name of your business, and this cannot be changed later. Also for this version it is possible to take advantage of WhatsApp web.
The only difference is in the settings menu, where you will have an entry dedicated to activity settings. Here you can add the address, business category, description, opening hours, email address and website to your profile.
All this information will be available in your public profile, so that it is always displayed. It will be possible to program the absence and welcome messages and enable them according to your needs.
One useful feature is quick responses: these are responses that you can create and customize, to be recalled via quick links.
