WhatsApp Business API in Agra

Shoe units: buyers want updates, not phone calls

Agra has around 250 mechanised shoe units and thousands of small workshops. Together they supply a big part of India's shoe market and more than a quarter of its footwear exports.

Dealers and export buyers ask the same things again and again: is the sample ready, when will the order ship, what is the new price. Send each update as a short message with a photo — sample ready, production started, packed, dispatched with the transport details. On Pro, your ERP can send these through the API.

Most small workshops still sell only through agents. A regular message with new designs puts you in front of the shop owner directly.

New designs to dealers every season

Shoe shops across India buy by season — school shoes before April, formal shoes before the wedding months, sandals before summer. Send your new range to dealer lists a few weeks before each season, with clear photos, sizes and the case pack.

Keep dealers in lists by state and by type (school, ladies, sports). On Growth and Pro, the media library holds your design photos, ready to send from the inbox in seconds.

Hotels near the Taj: direct bookings

Most Taj visitors stay one night, often booked through a travel site that takes a commission.

Send guests a short message before arrival with the best time for sunrise at the Taj, the gate closest to your hotel and your parking details. After checkout, a thank-you with your direct booking link brings them back when they return with family.

Guides, cabs and day tours

Guides and cab operators answer the same questions daily: Taj timings, Friday closure, Fatehpur Sikri trip price, pickup point. On Growth and Pro, the bot answers these at once and passes bookings to a person.

Send the driver's name, car number and pickup time the evening before. Foreign visitors especially value that message.

Remind them that the Taj is closed on Fridays. A guest who learns that from you, not at the gate, remembers your name.

Petha, marble inlay and souvenirs

Petha shops, marble inlay workshops and leather goods stores sell to tourists who later want more. A QR code on every box and bag opens a chat with your business number.

Before Diwali or Raksha Bandhan, send one message to opted-in customers with gift boxes and a last date for delivery. Marble inlay pieces are fragile — confirm packing details in writing.

Export buyers and time zones

Buyers in Europe message when Agra is asleep. On Growth and Pro, an away message tells them when you will reply, and the bot shares your company profile and certificate list right away.

Keep test reports and sample photos in the media library. Your team can send them in seconds the next morning.

Hindi and English

Dealers in India read Hindi; export buyers and many tourists use English. Keep each important template in both, approved separately, and tag contacts by language when you import them.

Not part of the platform

The platform does not track production, stock or dealer credit. It does not book rooms or tours by itself, and there is no payment inside the chat — the message carries a UPI or booking link. The bot follows fixed rules, not AI, and only opted-in contacts receive messages.
