City, State – [Date] – WhatsApp Business now lets businesses connect their Instagram Shopping tools to reach customers faster. This update helps companies manage sales and messages in one place. Meta, which owns both platforms, announced the integration to simplify online selling for small and large businesses.

Businesses using WhatsApp Business can now show their Instagram product catalogs directly on WhatsApp. Customers browse items on Instagram and send questions or orders through WhatsApp without switching apps. This link aims to reduce steps between finding products and buying them.
Setting up the feature is free. Business owners upload their catalogs on Instagram first. They then link their Instagram and WhatsApp Business accounts using Meta’s Business Suite. Once connected, customers see a “Message on WhatsApp” button on Instagram shop profiles. Clicking it starts a chat in WhatsApp for product details or purchases.
The move addresses the growing demand for social commerce tools. Over 1 billion people use WhatsApp monthly. Combining Instagram’s visual shopping with WhatsApp’s messaging could help businesses sell more. Customers get quicker replies, and businesses keep conversations organized.
Meta says the integration works for all business sizes. Local shops and big brands can use it to share real-time updates, offers, or support. The feature is available in all markets where WhatsApp Business and Instagram Shopping operate.
Privacy settings stay the same. Businesses must still follow WhatsApp’s policies, which ban spam. Customers control who messages them and can block accounts anytime.
A Meta spokesperson stated, “This connection makes shopping smoother. Businesses save time. Customers get help faster.” The company plans more updates this year to merge messaging and shopping across its apps.
