How to Create a WhatsApp Catalog for a Clothing Business

To create a WhatsApp catalog for a clothing business, set up the WhatsApp Business app, add each design as a catalogue item with a photo, name and price, and share the catalogue in chats, groups and your status. These steps work for sarees, kurtis, suits, shirts and fabric sold by the metre.

1. Install WhatsApp Business and fill in the profile. Add the shop name, category, address, hours and one line on what you sell, such as "cotton kurtis and suit sets, Jaipur".
2. Open the catalogue. In the app, open Business tools and tap Catalog, then add a new item.
3. Photograph each design in daylight. Take the front, the back, a close-up of the fabric or work, and one shot worn or on a hanger.
4. Fill in every item. Name it by fabric, style and colour, add the price per piece (or per metre for fabric), and describe the size range, length, what is included and wash care.
5. Group the items into collections. Sarees, Kurtis, Suits, New arrivals, or by occasion, so a buyer can find a type in one tap.
6. Share the catalogue. Send the catalogue link in chats and groups, post items to your status, and print a QR code for the shop counter.
7. Take the order in the chat. Confirm size, colour and delivery, collect payment by UPI, and label the chat (New order, Paid, Shipped) so nothing is missed.

Tools for these steps: WhatsApp QR code generator (step 6) and WhatsApp message templates for order replies (step 7).

WhatsApp Business catalog or a catalogue link for your clothing business

The catalogue inside the WhatsApp Business app opens from your chat profile. If you also want one link that opens as a web page on any phone, outside WhatsApp too, use a catalogue builder.

Our WhatsApp catalogue maker and the wider online catalogue maker make that link; it does not fill the catalogue inside the WhatsApp Business app. To put several photos into one file to send, see the photo catalog maker. Check every AI image against the real piece before you publish, especially colour and print.

What to write for each clothing item

Buyers ask the same things in every chat, so answer them in the item itself:

• Name: fabric, style and colour, for example "Cotton A-line kurti, mustard, hand block print".
• Price: per piece for garments, per metre for fabric, with any discount shown as the final price.
• Size and fit: the sizes you stock, with chest and length in inches for each, or "free size" with the measurement it fits.
• What is included: dupatta, bottom, blouse piece, lining.
• Care: hand wash, dry clean, or machine wash on a gentle cycle.

For shirts, add collar style and sleeve length; for fabric, add width and whether you cut to order.

Clothing catalog tips that bring repeat orders

Put your best sellers first in each collection, remove sold-out items the same day, and add new arrivals on a fixed day each week so regular buyers know when to look. Keep a price on every item; "DM for price" makes buyers ask and wait instead of order.

FAQ

How do I create a catalog in WhatsApp?

Install the WhatsApp Business app, set up the business profile, open Business tools, tap Catalog and add an item for each product with a photo, name, price and description. Then share the catalogue link in chats and on your status.

Is the WhatsApp Business catalog free?

Setting up the catalogue inside the WhatsApp Business app has no charge. A catalogue builder that makes a shareable web page, like ours, opens after sign-in, and its AI images and AI-written details use credits.

Can I use a WhatsApp catalog for a clothing business without a website?

Yes. The WhatsApp Business catalogue lives in the app, and a catalogue link works as a simple shop page you can send anywhere, so you do not need a website to start.

How do I add fabric sold by the metre to a WhatsApp catalog?

Add one item per fabric, write "price per metre" in the name or description, and state the width and the minimum cut. Show a close-up of the weave and one photo of the fabric draped.

How do I open a WhatsApp Business account for my shop?

Install the WhatsApp Business app from the Play Store or App Store, verify your shop's phone number, and fill in the business profile before you add catalogue items.
