WhatsApp has introduced a new shopping feature called "carts" for easy shoppers' experience on the platform. The "Add to Cart" feature on WhatsApp will enable users to browse through catalogue and include multiple products from one merchant. They can then share it with the seller to place the order directly through the app. The Carts feature comes within days after the Shopping button was added to WhatsApp in November for both iOS and Android users.
The app has started showing a storefront symbol beside the name of the business accounts, making it convenient for users to browse through the catalogue posted by the business.
Much like shopping on any e-commerce portal or app on mobile, WhatsApp will now allow users with the option to add or remove one or more items from their carts. Also, it will help business, or merchants, to keep track of order inquires, manage requests from customers and complete sales. Users can also check the items that they have added to their carts.

WhatsApp has also recently added payment service that operates via the Unified Payment Interface (UPI). WhatsApp payment needs no digital wallet for transactions as an intermediary, and payments are being made directly from one bank to another.
