How to Combine TikTok + WhatsApp Business for Daily Orders
📲 Why This Combo Works for Farmers
TikTok gets you global attention.
WhatsApp Business turns that attention into daily orders.
Together, they create a simple, low-cost sales system that works 24/7—even while you’re on the farm.
✅ Step 1: Set Up WhatsApp Business Properly
- Download WhatsApp Business (separate from personal WhatsApp).
- Create a business profile with:
- Farm name & logo
- Clear description: e.g., “Export-ready farm produce | Orders via WhatsApp”
- Address (farm location)
- Business hours
- Quick replies set up for common questions
👉 This makes you look professional and reliable to foreign buyers.
✅ Step 2: Direct TikTok Traffic to WhatsApp
In every TikTok video, add a clear call-to-action:
- “Message us on WhatsApp for prices & orders.”
- “We ship worldwide — tap the link in bio to WhatsApp us.”
- “Ready to order? Send ‘PRODUCT LIST’ to our WhatsApp.”
In your TikTok bio, use the link option to link directly to your WhatsApp Business number.
Formula:https://wa.me/[your country code and number]
Example: https://wa.me/2348012345678
✅ Step 3: Content That Makes People Message You
Create TikTok videos designed to trigger a WhatsApp message.
Examples:
- “This is available for order” – Show fresh harvest with WhatsApp number on screen.
- “How we package for export” – End with “Message us to customize your order.”
- “Price list available” – Say “Send ‘PRICE LIST’ to our WhatsApp.”
- “Today’s harvest ready” – Display quantity, then: “Serious buyers WhatsApp now.”
Always show something desirable + give clear next step.
✅ Step 4: Use WhatsApp Business Tools Like a Pro
- Catalog: Add your products with photos, names, descriptions.
- Quick Replies: Save responses for:
- Prices
- Shipping countries
- Minimum order
- Payment methods
- Labels: Organize chats as “New Inquiry,” “Pending Payment,” “Order Confirmed,” “Shipped.”
- Away Message: Set for off-hours: “Thanks for your message. We respond in 2 hours.”
✅ Step 5: The Order Process on WhatsApp
When someone messages:
- Greet professionally: “Hello, thanks for contacting [Farm Name]. How can we help?”
- Send catalog or product list.
- Answer questions using quick replies.
- Share payment details clearly (bank transfer, Wise, PayPal).
- Send order summary (item, quantity, total, shipping address).
- Update when shipped with photo/video of packaged goods.
👉 This builds trust and encourages repeat orders.
✅ Step 6: Use TikTok Live to Boost WhatsApp Orders
Go live on TikTok:
- Announce “Available for orders today”
- Show products live
- Tell viewers to “Message on WhatsApp now to secure yours”
- Share a live-only discount for those who order within an hour
This creates urgency and moves people off TikTok quickly.
✅ Step 7: Build a Broadcast List on WhatsApp
With permission, add interested buyers to a broadcast list.
Use it to:
- Send new harvest updates
- Share video of fresh produce
- Announce available stock
- Offer first-access to loyal clients
⚠️ Don’t spam. Send only valuable updates.
⚠️ Avoid These Mistakes
- No clear call-to-action in TikTok videos
- Slow replies on WhatsApp (use quick replies!)
- Unprofessional payment requests – always issue a summary
- Mixing personal and business chats
📈 Real Farmer Example
A farmer in Nigeria posts a 30-second TikTok of harvesting Ugu leaves.
Caption: “Fresh Ugu, available for Lagos and export. WhatsApp to order.”
Bio link goes to WhatsApp.
She gets 15 messages on WhatsApp in one day.
Using quick replies and catalog, she confirms 9 orders before 5 PM.
That’s the system working.
