Import2Sales vs WhatsApp Business catalogue
Updated · By the Import2Sales team
Short answer
Use the WhatsApp Business catalogue if you want a free product list that customers browse inside WhatsApp. Use Import2Sales if you want a shareable sales page for each product, with AI-written copy that explains and sells it, created from a supplier link, that sends buyers to your WhatsApp. Many sellers use both.
We make Import2Sales. WhatsApp details were checked on whatsappbusiness.com on 23 September 2026.
Comparison table
| Import2Sales | WhatsApp Business catalogue | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A sales page per product, on the web | A product list inside the WhatsApp Business app |
| Start from a supplier link | Yes (AliExpress, 1688, Temu, Alibaba and more) | No, you add items by hand |
| Sales copy | AI writes a headline, benefits and FAQ | Short item descriptions you write |
| Where buyers see it | Any link: Status, groups, Instagram, TikTok, search engines | Inside WhatsApp |
| How orders arrive | Buyer taps a button and a pre-filled chat opens | Buyer adds items to a cart and sends it as a message |
| Limits | Free: 1 page; Starter: 5 active pages; Pro: 25 pages | Up to 500 items, 10 photos/videos each |
Where the WhatsApp catalogue is better
- It is built into the WhatsApp Business app you already use.
- Customers can add several items to a cart in one message.
- It handles large product ranges (up to 500 items).
Where Import2Sales is better
- You start from the supplier link instead of retyping details and saving photos.
- Each product gets persuasive copy that answers buyer questions before they ask.
- The page is a normal web link, so it works on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and search engines, not just inside WhatsApp.
- Link previews show the product image and title when shared.
Can you use both?
Yes. Keep your full range in the WhatsApp catalogue, and create an Import2Sales page for each product you are actively promoting on Status, groups or social media.
