\tWhatsApp upped its efforts to improve e-commerce functionality, with a direct option for making purchases for consumers and content hosting for enterprises<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Facebook-owned company said it was increasing investments into a feature allowing users to window-shop and make purchases directly from a chat, claiming this would aid small businesses impacted by the Covid-19 (coronavirus) outbreak.<\/p>\n

Another update will enable enterprises to manage their WhatsApp correspondence \u201cvia hosting services that Facebook plans to offer”, a move it tipped to boost small- to medium-sized businesses. To this end, WhatsApp aims to broaden existing partnerships with business product providers.<\/p>\n

It also plans to charge business users for some services, to help it continue building its own business while expanding its “free end-to-end encrypted text, video and voice calling for more than 2 billion people\u201d.<\/p>\n

The new features are set to be added in the coming months, though WhatsApp emphasised they would not interfere with consumers’ ability to communicate privately.<\/p>\n

Facebook added a shopping feature [1] to Instagram in March 2019, and more recently began offering a tool [2] for browsing and purchasing products seen in IGTV Videos.<\/p>\n
