    WhatsApp Status updates disappear after 24 hours, like Instagram Stories. Customers who saved your number can see them, often more often than they open a broadcast.

    What to post

    • New arrivals and fresh stock.
    • Today’s specials or offers.
    • Behind-the-scenes photos and short videos.
    • Customer reviews and happy moments.
    • Festival greetings; make them with our festival post maker.
    • Reminders: holiday hours, last order times.

    Tips

    • Post a few updates daily rather than many at once.
    • Use vertical images; resize with our image resizer.
    • Add prices and “Reply to order” text.
    • Check who viewed your status to gauge interest.

    Grow your audience

    Status only reaches people who saved your number. Ask customers to save it, for example with a counter sign: “Save our number for daily offers.”

    Share to other apps

    Reuse Instagram Stories content where appropriate.
