Take trade orders straight from WhatsApp
OrderSlots turns every order into one exact production and picking list at your cut-off. Now your buyers can add to that list straight from WhatsApp — no app, no spreadsheet, no chasing. The deadline still does the work; WhatsApp is simply how the order arrives.
“Stop chasing orders on WhatsApp” — but your customers love ordering there. So instead of dragging them off it, we make WhatsApp work for you: the convenience your buyers want, the clean order list you need.
How it works
Simple for your customers, structured for you.
Your customer sends their order
They message your WhatsApp ordering number — “20 sourdough and 12 croissants for Friday” — just like they text you today.
It becomes a real order
The message is turned into a structured pre-order against your open ordering slot, checked against your products and cut-off time.
You get one clean list
The order joins your consolidated production and picking totals — the same place your web pre-orders appear. No copying, no lost messages.
Why producers want this
Zero friction for buyers
No app, no login, no training. Your customers keep ordering exactly how they already do.
No more copying messages
Orders arrive structured and totalled, not buried in a chat thread you have to transcribe on a Sunday night.
One order list, every channel
WhatsApp orders and web pre-orders combine into a single production and picking list.
Nothing gets missed
Every order is captured and confirmed, so the 11pm “can you add 6 more?” never slips through.
Works with your cut-offs
Orders respect the same delivery days, deadlines and product limits as the rest of OrderSlots.
Runs alongside everything else
Keep your website, shop, POS and normal ordering system. This is one more way in, not a replacement.
Set up for you, on request
WhatsApp ordering is currently offered as early access. We configure it around your products, delivery days and cut-offs, then walk you through going live — so you don't have to set anything up yourself. Tell us about your business and we'll take it from there.
Common questions
Do my customers need to install anything?
No. They order from WhatsApp, which they already use every day. There's no new app, login or portal for them to learn — they just send a message the way they always have.
How does the message become an order?
When a customer messages your ordering number, their order is captured automatically and added to your consolidated production and picking list — the same place your web pre-orders land. You review and confirm; nothing is guessed on price or availability.
Does it replace my pre-order page?
No — it's an extra channel that feeds the same system. Some buyers will use your branded pre-order page; others prefer WhatsApp. Both end up as one clean order list for you.
