WhatsApp Receipt Light
Help small merchants using WhatsApp discover when customers never actually received a message
- Problem
- Many small merchants use WhatsApp for orders, reminders, and support, but rarely know whether messages were delivered. Customers say they never got it, template messages get rejected, accounts get throttled—all without clear signals, so merchants manually double-check everything.
- Solution
- A lightweight delivery receipt dashboard: connect to the WhatsApp Business API and show sent/delivered/read status for every business message, flag failed messages in red with likely causes, and filter by customer or order.
- Users
- Small e-commerce shops taking orders via WhatsApp, service micro-businesses, cross-border sellers
- MVP
- WhatsApp Business API integration; sent/delivered/read status dashboard; failure cause hints; filter by customer and date; no auto-resend at first.
- Revenue
- Monthly subscription tiered by message volume; premium tier with automatic failed-message resend
- Why now
- The WhatsApp Business API ecosystem is mature but tools for small merchants remain clunky; an indie dev can focus on the visibility gap and ship fast
