Over 90 million Nigerians use WhatsApp daily. If your business isn't selling on WhatsApp, you're leaving money on the table. Here's how to set up a complete WhatsApp storefront in under 30 minutes.
Step 1: Create Your Pax26 Account
Go to pax26.com and sign up for free. No credit card needed. You'll be inside your dashboard in under two minutes.
Step 2: Add Your Products
Navigate to Product Manager and start adding your products — name, price, description, and images. You can add as many as you need. Each product gets its own detail page customers can browse.
Step 3: Connect Your WhatsApp
Go to Automations → Connect WhatsApp. Use the Official Meta API option for the most reliable setup. Sign in with the Facebook account linked to your WhatsApp Business number and follow the on-screen prompts. Takes about two minutes.
Step 4: Train Your Smart Agent
Go to Automations → Agent Setup. Tell the agent about your business — what you sell, your prices, your policies, and your tone. The agent learns this and uses it in every customer conversation.
Step 5: Activate and Go Live
Turn on your automation from the dashboard. From this point, every customer who messages your WhatsApp number gets an instant, intelligent reply — even at 3am.
What Happens Next
Customers browse your products, ask questions, and place orders — all through WhatsApp. You get notified for every order. Your AI handles the selling. You handle the fulfilment.
