Generate Catalog Link
Create your catalog link in seconds: enter your business phone number (verified on WhatsApp Business), select products you have uploaded, and generate a link. The link works on desktop and mobile. Share via Instagram bio, Facebook, email, or SMS. When customers click, they see your full product catalog with prices, images, and descriptions. No need for them to save your number or message first - direct browsing increases conversions by 40-60%. The link remains active permanently unless you delete products.
How WhatsApp Catalog Links Work
WhatsApp Business app (free) lets you upload products with images, descriptions, and prices. Generate a link via StitchMagic that opens your catalog. Customers view items, click "Send Message" to ask questions, or add items to cart (if connected to Shopify/WooCommerce). The system tracks engagement: how many viewed, which products got inquiries. For fashion sellers, 60-70% of customers who browse catalog end up chatting. Catalog-linked buyers spend 30% more than random inquiries. Essential for any retail or fashion business on WhatsApp.
Share Catalog on Instagram/Facebook
Paste your WhatsApp catalog link in Instagram bio or Stories (link sticker). Add to Facebook page "Shop Now" button. TikTok also accepts WhatsApp links. Create post: "Browse our saree collection -> link in bio." Fashion sellers report 25-35% of Instagram followers visit catalog within 2 weeks. Best practices: update bio link when launching new collection. Use link + QR code in posts. Pinpoint success: Facebook Pixel tracks clicks, Google Analytics tracks link visits. Compare: direct Instagram shopping converts 15%, WhatsApp catalog converts 35-40%.
Catalog Link vs Chat Link
Chat Link (wa.me/91XXXXXXXXXX) opens WhatsApp conversation directly - useful for quick inquiries. Catalog Link shows your products first - better for browsing. Chat Link: customers see blank message window, must describe what they want. Catalog Link: customers see 50+ sarees, pick one, then message. Conversion rates: catalog link 35-40%, chat link 10-15%. Use catalog for product-heavy businesses (fashion, food, home decor). Use chat link for service-based (tailoring, alterations, consultations). Combination strategy: Instagram post -> catalog link, Stories CTA -> chat link for quick questions.
Create Better Catalogs with StitchMagic
Upload high-quality product images (240x240px minimum, square format). Write 1-2 sentence descriptions highlighting unique features. Include HSN codes for fashion (saree: 6204, fabric: 5208). Add variant details: "Available in red, blue, green (₹599 each)." Use consistent pricing across all platforms to build trust. Update catalog monthly: remove sold-out items, add new designs. Best-converting catalogs have 20-100 products (too few = limited choice, too many = decision fatigue). Monitor which products get most inquiries - restock those. Top-performing sellers rotate seasonal collections monthly.
