1. What is it?
A WhatsApp store for cooperatives and artisan associations lets multiple artisans sell from one catalogue. Customers browse, choose pieces from different artisans, and the order arrives centralized to the person in charge via WhatsApp. Each product can indicate the artisan or technique. A professional way to sell crafts together without each needing their own online store.
One link, multiple artisans. Orders arrive organised. One person coordinates. Ideal for cooperatives, craft associations, and artisan groups.
2. How it works
- Add products from all members: Each artisan adds their pieces. Indicate artisan or technique in the description.
- Organise by artisan or type: By artisan, technique, or product type. Customers browse the full collection.
- Share the link: One link for the cooperative. Social media, events, or fairs.
- Centralized orders: Orders arrive to the coordinator. They distribute to artisans.
- Update as members add: New pieces? Add them. Sold? Hide them. Catalogue grows with the group.

4. Illustrative example
Before (illustrative): A craft cooperative had 12 members. Each had their own WhatsApp. Customers did not know where to order. The coordinator received scattered requests. She had to ask each artisan. Chaos.
After (illustrative): The cooperative created one WhatsApp store. All 12 artisans added their pieces. Each product shows the artisan. One link. Customers browse the full collection, choose from different artisans, send one order. The coordinator receives it, distributes to artisans. Professional. Organised. Sales up.
