"This will make it simpler for businesses to keep track of order inquiries, manage requests from customers and close sales," WhatsApp said in a statement. "Carts are going live around the world today – just in time for the holiday season," WhatsApp said. "Carts are great when messaging businesses that typically sell multiple items at once, like a local restaurant or clothing store," it added.
Globally, more than 175 million people message a WhatsApp Business account every day and more than three million people in India view a business catalog each month.

Simply find the items you want and tap "add to cart." Once your cart is complete, send it as a message to the business. The need for digital tools to shop has increased manifold during the pandemic.
