A starting point for South African sellers
Picture a hair-product seller in Johannesburg who posts on Instagram and takes orders by WhatsApp. Her zona lists the range with prices, explains delivery times for different provinces and adds a button that opens a chat with the order already half-written. A scheduled link announces a month-end special. People from her bio can browse first and message second, so each conversation starts with a real order instead of the same questions about what she sells.
