  3. 3. The order is taken

    Item, size, quantity and delivery address, confirmed on WhatsApp.

  4. 4. Paid before packing

  5. 5. Tracked to the door

06 · After the order

The questions that follow an order, answered too.

Most of your support messages are the same three questions.

  • “Where is my order?”

    The order is found and the live courier status is sent to the buyer, at any hour.

  • Complaints reach a person

    What went wrong is taken down, sent to the right person, and the buyer is told what happens next.

  • Cash-on-delivery confirmation

    A WhatsApp message to confirm the order before you pack it, and a call if there is no reply.

    Set up for your business
  • Unpaid links and quiet buyers

    A reminder when a payment link is not paid, or when a buyer stops replying.

07 · Questions owners ask

Answers to the things brand owners want to know.

These come up in almost every meeting with a D2C founder.

  • Does it reply to comments, or only DMs?

    Both. It replies under the comment and continues in the DM. The order, the product photo and the payment link are completed on WhatsApp.

  • How does it know what is in stock?

    From your own store or catalogue, connected or shared during setup. It never offers a size or colour you don’t have.

  • Where does the buyer’s money go?

    To your own payment account, through a payment link from your setup. Vaanik doesn’t hold your money.

  • We already use a WhatsApp tool for broadcasts. Does this replace it?

    It doesn’t have to. Vaanik handles the conversations: questions, orders and order status. We’ll look at your current setup on the call.

  • Can it handle returns and refunds?

    It explains your policy and takes down the request. Refunds and exceptions go to your team.

  • Does it work on ad comments too?

    It works on comments on your posts and reels. For ads we check your account on the call before promising anything.

  • What if a buyer wants to talk to a person?

    Your team is alerted with the conversation so far and can take over at any time. Nothing has to be asked twice.

  • Which languages does it speak?

    Hindi and English today, including the mix of both that people actually speak. Tell us which other languages your buyers use and we’ll confirm on the call.

  • Do we need a WhatsApp Business account?

    Yes, for the WhatsApp replies. Don’t have one? We set it up with you during onboarding.

  • What does it cost, and how fast can we go live?

    Setup and go-live are included. We share pricing on the call and go live once your catalogue, rules and payments are tested with you.
