Step 1: Understand What the Marketplace Is
-
The Marketplace is a feature that lets you group multiple widgets into a single landing page.
-
Each widget represents a business or professional offering a service (e.g., tarot readers, teachers, lawyers, plumbers).
-
The goal is to allow end users to browse, compare, and contact the right service provider directly via WhatsApp.
Step 2: Choose a Niche or Sector
-
Decide on a category or sector where a Marketplace would make sense.
-
Example: Tarot Readers using WhatsApp.
-
You can create Marketplaces for:
-
Teachers by subject
-
Lawyers by specialization
-
Consultants by language/location
-
Any vertical service
-
Step 3: Create Your Widgets
-
Go to your Chatwi Dashboard > Widgets.
-
Create widgets for each client or business.
-
Configure:
-
Agent profiles
-
WhatsApp forms
-
Look and feel (custom design)
-
-
Add key business info: name, phone, location, description, video (optional).
Step 4: Enable Marketplace View
-
Still in the Widgets section:
-
You will see the option to enable or disable Marketplace view per widget.
-
All active widgets will appear in your Marketplace.
-
To remove a widget, simply deactivate it (it will be hidden).
-
Step 5: Preview Your Marketplace
-
Navigate to your account settings to find your Marketplace link.
-
Click on it to preview how your Marketplace looks.
-
This page will display:
-
A grid or list of all active widgets
-
Each linking to the widget’s own landing page
-
Step 6: Customize Each Landing Page
-
On each widget’s landing page, you can add:
-
Description
-
YouTube video
-
Location
-
Phone number
-
Additional text or images
-
-
This content helps improve conversion and SEO.
Step 7: Share the Marketplace
-
Share your Marketplace link with potential users or on social media.
-
Use SEO tactics:
-
Optimize for keywords like “free tarot consultation WhatsApp”
-
Target specific locations or languages
-
Tailor widget titles and descriptions accordingly
-
Step 8: Get a Test Account (Optional)
-
If you want to try the Marketplace without affecting your main client account:
-
Contact Chatwi support
-
Request a free premium test account
-
Step 9: Unlimited Use & Access
-
There are no limits to:
-
How many widgets you can add
-
How many leads you generate
-
-
Clients will still have access to their widgets as usual
-
Marketplace is simply a frontend layer—the backend functions stay unchanged
