WhatsApp Store Builder — No-Backend Storefront

Aisha Musa Habib @amisha · Kaduna state, Nigeria

Voting closed at 5:00 PM on 9 October 2026 (Africa/Lagos).

The 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.

What they built

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.
