Sync Matrix

4 data entities in the sync matrix — 0 bidirectional, 4 one-way. Tap any row for details.

Good to Know

Platform restrictions outside any integration tool's control

Order sync from WhatsApp

WhatsApp Business enables product browsing in chat, but checkout happens on your online store. Orders are captured by your ecommerce platform, not by WhatsApp.

Automated chat responses

WhatsApp chatbot flows, auto-replies, and message templates are managed through the WhatsApp Business API or third-party tools, not through the catalog integration.

Payment processing in WhatsApp

WhatsApp Pay availability varies by country and is managed by Meta independently. Nventory syncs your product catalog but does not handle in-chat payments.

Broadcast and group messaging

WhatsApp broadcast lists and group messages are communication features outside the scope of product catalog management.

Things to Consider

Platform-specific details and how they affect this integration.

Challenge

WhatsApp shows up to 500 products in the in-chat catalog. BigCommerce stores with large catalogs need to curate their selection.

Nventory's Approach

Use Nventory's visibility toggles to choose which BigCommerce products appear on WhatsApp. Prioritize high-intent, conversation-friendly items.
