A Dukaan alternative for WhatsApp orders
Dukaan is a full store builder with online checkout. If you mostly agree payment and delivery in chat, a lighter store link may be all you need. Here is how the two differ.
| wastore.shop | Dukaan | |
|---|---|---|
| How customers order | On a store page, then the order is sent to your WhatsApp chat | On a store with its own checkout |
| Payment | You are paid your way: cash, transfer or on delivery. No gateway to set up | Online checkout through payment partners |
| Fees on orders | None from us. You pay only for your plan | A service fee on orders placed through it, shown on its pricing page |
| Free plan | Yes: 10 items and 100 orders a month, no card | Yes, with limits. Check its pricing page |
| Delivery | Set delivery fees and a minimum order, then arrange delivery in chat | Shipping tools through delivery partners |
| Best when | You already agree payment and delivery in chat | You want online payments and shipping handled for you |
Features of other apps change over time. This comparison reflects how they work at the time of writing.
Why sellers pick a store link
Many small sellers are paid by transfer, cash or on delivery and talk to every customer anyway. A store link keeps that simple.
- No payment setup or approval wait
- No fee taken from each order
- Orders arrive in the chat you already use
Orders in the chat you already use
The order arrives as one clear WhatsApp message with the items, options and total, so you confirm and arrange delivery right where you talk to your customers.
Keep your costs predictable
Your cost is your plan, not a share of your sales. Whatever you compare, check what each platform charges per order before you decide.
Try it next to your current store
