Best tools to sell imported products on WhatsApp in Nigeria
Updated · By the Import2Sales team
Short answer
It depends on how you sell. To turn individual imported products into persuasive pages with WhatsApp ordering, starting from a 1688, AliExpress or Temu link, use a sales-page generator like Import2Sales. For a free product list inside WhatsApp, use the WhatsApp Business catalogue. For a full store with inventory and staff management, use a store builder such as Bumpa, Take App or Sellevo, or Shopify if you can pay in US dollars.
We make Import2Sales, one of the tools below, so we have tried to say plainly where each alternative is the better choice. Competitor details were checked on their official websites on 23 September 2026. Prices change, so confirm on each site before you buy.
How we compared them
We looked at what matters to someone importing products and selling on WhatsApp: can it start from a supplier product link, how WhatsApp ordering works, whether pricing is in naira, and what kind of seller it is built for.

Import2Sales: best for turning one imported product into a selling page
Paste a supplier link and publish a mobile sales page with AI-written copy (headline, benefits, FAQ) and a one-tap WhatsApp order button. Pricing is in naira and your first page is free.
Where it is weaker: it is not a full store. There is no multi-product cart, stock tracking or bookkeeping. If you need those, choose a store builder below.
WhatsApp Business catalogue: best free option inside WhatsApp
The catalogue lets you list products (up to 500 items, each with up to 10 photos or videos) and lets customers browse and send orders without leaving WhatsApp. It is the simplest place to start. It does not give you a persuasive sales page or a link that explains the product to buyers who are not already chatting with you. See Import2Sales vs WhatsApp Business catalogue.
Bumpa: best for running a whole retail business
Bumpa is business management software for retailers, covering inventory, sales, orders, customers and a business website, with plans in naira. Choose it if you hold a lot of stock across many products and want bookkeeping and staff tools. See Import2Sales vs Bumpa.
Take App: best for a WhatsApp ordering store with a cart
Take App gives you an online store where customers pick items, quantities and delivery options, check out, and the completed order arrives in your WhatsApp. It suits food, retail and service businesses with a menu or catalogue.
Sellevo: best for a naira store with AliExpress, Jumia and Konga import
Sellevo is a Nigerian store builder that says you can import products by pasting AliExpress, Jumia or Konga links, with naira payments and WhatsApp/Instagram selling. Choose it if you want a full store rather than individual sales pages.
Stur: best for automating DM replies
Stur uses an AI assistant to answer product questions in your Instagram and WhatsApp DMs and send checkout links. It suits vendors who get a lot of enquiries in chat.
Shopify: best for a full-featured store if you can pay in dollars
Shopify is the most complete store platform with a large app ecosystem, but plans are priced in US dollars. See Import2Sales vs Shopify.
Selar: best for digital products, not imported goods
Selar is built for creators selling ebooks, courses, memberships and tickets. It allows physical products, but it is not designed around importing or WhatsApp ordering.
