WhatsappBusiness is an ‘app’ that can be downloaded for free and that is indicated, above all, to meet the needs of small and medium businesses. Through it, entrepreneurs can show their customers more quickly and directly products and services that suit their needs or tastes without losing features of the original version of WhatsApp, such as font styles.

Download and create an account in Whatsapp Business is as simple as doing it in WhatsApp: from Play Store for mobiles with Android system and from App Store for those with iOS. Once downloaded, the phone number is entered and WhatsApp verification of the company account is expected.
Keep in mind that WhatsApp does not allow you to have two accounts associated with the same phone number, not even being WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business.
The appearance and way of acting is the same as in WhatsApp. The differences start at ‘settings‘, which is called ‘Company Settings’. There we find the profile, in which we can summarize all the information of interest to customerssuch as physical address or location, activity of the company, business hours and how a client can contact the company, in addition to WhatsApp itself -web page, Facebook and/or Instagram account, etc.-, options that create a hyperlink that automatically takes customers to them when they select them.
Other options are that you can create welcome messages -which are sent automatically when a client writes for the first time-, absentee -which are sent when the company is not available during the hours previously established- or quick responses -in which the employer writes, for example, “thank you ” and a pre-written default message appears, such as “Thank you very much for your order, it was a pleasure to help you”.
