Better Business on WhatsApp

Zoko: The Ultimate WhatsApp Commerce Solution for Shopify Merchants WHY ZOKO IS THE GAME-CHANGING PLATFORM EVERY SHOPIFY MERCHANT NEEDS Shopify merchants face a critical challenge: while they've built amazing online stores, they're missing out on the world's largest messaging platform where customers actually want to shop. Zoko solves this by seamlessly integrating WhatsApp commerce capabilities with your existing Shopify infrastructure. THE UNTAPPED OPPORTUNITY THAT'S COSTING YOU SALES Consider this: 175 million people message businesses on WhatsApp daily - that's more engagement than Amazon generates. With 100 million merchants already using WhatsApp for business globally, those not leveraging this channel are falling behind competitors who are capturing sales directly through conversations. PROVEN SUCCESS FORMULA Zoko's founders didn't just theorize about WhatsApp commerce - they lived it. Starting with their own ecommerce business entirely on WhatsApp, they scaled to 200,000 engaged followers who eagerly purchased products through weekly WhatsApp updates. When other businesses began paying for access to their "WhatsApp sales tools," they knew they'd discovered something revolutionary. THE $50 BILLION MARKET OPPORTUNITY The WhatsApp commerce market represents over $50 billion annually - a massive revenue stream that traditional ecommerce platforms can't access. For Shopify merchants, this means untapped customers, higher engagement rates, and sales happening through the world's most trusted messaging platform. COMPLETE SALES, MARKETING & SUPPORT INTEGRATION Zoko transforms WhatsApp into a comprehensive business channel, enabling Shopify merchants to: - Convert conversations directly into sales - Run targeted marketing campaigns through WhatsApp - Provide instant customer support where customers prefer to communicate - Build deeper customer relationships through personalized messaging THE FUTURE OF COMMERCE IS CONVERSATIONAL WhatsApp represents the internet for the next billion users entering the digital economy. Zoko positions itself as the "Shopify for WhatsApp merchants," giving existing Shopify store owners the tools to dominate this emerging channel before competitors realize its potential. For Shopify merchants serious about growth, Zoko isn't just another tool - it's the bridge to the next generation of ecommerce where conversations convert to sales.

Who is it for We are building this for the 200M monthly active businesses on WhatsApp. Most business today, use WhatsApp as fancy SMS - i.e. for sending out marketing blasts. They don’t have a way to scale sales inside WhatsApp.

Our Backstory 🤔 We started off with an ecommerce business, entirely on WhatsApp, which grew to a customer base of 200K followers on Facebook, who would make purchases after seeing our weekly product drops on WhatsApp. Other businesses started reaching out to us, offering to pay for our "WhatsApp sales tools". That was the Aha moment! We realized that selling these tools to other businesses, was the way to go and launched a SaaS business. Through the good grace of a lot of people helping us along the way - we got paying customers, investors, even YC and making millions in revenue profitably! yay!
