Facebook Is Testing Ordering System for WhatsApp in India for Grocery Shopping

Facebook is piloting ordering system for WhatsApp in India that will allow users to do grocery shopping. To make an order, users need to send a text message to a number and then select their items through the browser.

More than one thousand stores are partnering with Facebook and Reliance Jio Platforms and will process these orders.

Facebook has been working to find its place in the Indian market and expand usage of WhatsApp for businesses and marketers, and this news seems to indicate that the company is taking active steps in these directions.
