WhatsApp Store Builder — No-Backend Storefront

Solo Developer & Designer

by Aisha Musa Habib · HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Google Apps Script, Google Sheets

About

A no-backend storefront template for WhatsApp sellers. Products live in a Google Sheet. Customers browse, choose sizes and variants, add to cart, and send orders straight to WhatsApp. Built with pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Problem

Millions of small sellers across Africa run their entire business through WhatsApp and Instagram. They answer the same questions every day — "how much?", "is it available?", "do you have this in red?" — and lose buyers to slow replies. Most can't afford a website, and even free tools require technical setup. This template solves that: one HTML file, one Google Sheet, one link. The seller manages products from their phone. Customers browse and order without waiting for a reply. No backend, no fees, no developer needed.

Outcomes

A complete storefront system — Google Sheets as the database, Apps Script as the API, WhatsApp as checkout. Built with pure vanilla HTML/CSS/JS. No backend, no fees, no frameworks.
