WhatsApp Business API in Ludhiana

When repeat orders slow down, stay in touch

Reports from January 2026 said many Ludhiana hosiery units saw traders cancel repeat orders and send stock back. The traders did not disappear; they simply bought from whoever reached them first.

That is a messaging problem. With the API, your full trader list gets one new-design message each week, from your business name, with photos and a report of who opened it. Traders who reply land in a shared inbox that your sales team answers.

Most small units still sell only through agents and visits. A steady, useful message puts you ahead of them.

Show the new season before the season starts

Winter orders are booked months early. Send your new range in August and September — a short video of each design, sizes, carton quantity and the booking date.

Keep traders in lists by state and by product, so a thermal range goes to the shops that buy thermals. On Growth and Pro, the media library holds your catalogue photos and videos, ready to send from the inbox in two taps.

Orders, dispatch and payment in writing

Confirm every order in a message: designs, sizes, cartons and rate. When goods leave, send the transporter name, bilty number and expected date. A trader who can see all of it in one chat calls far less.

Payment reminders go as a polite template with a UPI or bank link. Keep them regular and calm; most traders pay when reminded on time.

Cycle parts, sewing machines and tools

Ludhiana also makes bicycle parts, sewing-machine parts, hand tools and fasteners for dealers across India and abroad. Their needs are the same: price lists, dispatch details and payment follow-ups.

On Pro, your billing software can send these through the API, and webhooks bring replies back. Your developer connects it once.

Retail in Chaura Bazaar and the malls

Shops in Chaura Bazaar, Ghumar Mandi and Model Town can build a customer list with a QR code at the counter. Send a note before Lohri, Diwali and the wedding season, and only to people who asked.

Many Ludhiana families have relatives in Canada and the UK. A shop that ships Punjabi suits or phulkari can answer them overnight with an away message on Growth and Pro.

Punjabi, Hindi and English templates

Traders in Bihar and Odisha may prefer Hindi; buyers in Punjab read Punjabi; export buyers want English. Approve one version of each important template, and tag contacts by language when you import them.

Agents, visits and the message in between

Many Ludhiana units sell through agents who travel to Patna, Cuttack, Kolkata and Jaipur. The agent meets the trader; the factory rarely hears what was said.

Add your agents to the shared inbox. When a trader replies to a campaign, the agent for that state picks it up and follows through in the same chat, with the full history above. If an agent leaves, the conversations stay with your business number, not on a personal phone.

After each season, look at which traders opened messages but did not order. A short personal note to them before the next booking often brings a lost account back.

Where the platform stops

The platform does not keep your ledger, stock or trader accounts, and it does not take payment inside the chat — the message carries a UPI link. It cannot message a trader who never agreed to hear from you, and the bot follows your rules rather than AI.

Plans for a Ludhiana unit

Three monthly plans — ₹790, ₹990 and ₹1,290 — and no setup fee. A unit with a trader list and a catalogue usually takes Growth; one that wants its software connected takes Pro. Details are on the plans page.
