Which package includes the online storefront?
Packages that include the branded hosted storefront list it in their features above, together with their product, image and user limits. Every package includes WhatsApp selling, orders, payments, stock and the core dashboard.
Is there a mobile app?
Yes - a free Android app for owners and staff, included with every plan. Sign in with your dashboard login to see orders, chats, products and billing, and get push notifications for new orders, low stock, customers asking for a person, and billing reminders. It is a direct download rather than a Play Store listing; the link is above and inside your dashboard. iPhone users can use the web dashboard in Safari for now.
Do I need a new phone number?
You can use your existing business number or a new one. We connect it through the official WhatsApp Business (Cloud) API, approved by Meta - no unofficial tools, no ban risk.
Will the bot say wrong things about my products?
No. Sellora only answers from your actual catalogue and FAQs. If something isn’t there, it says so honestly and suggests the closest real alternative - it never invents products, prices, or delivery promises.
What happens with angry customers or refunds?
The bot never argues. It apologises once and alerts your team on WhatsApp instantly. You can reply to that customer yourself from the dashboard - the bot stays quiet on that chat until you hand it back - and record the return and refund against the order.
Most of my customers come from Facebook ads. Does that work?
That is exactly the case it is built for. When someone taps your ad and WhatsApp opens, Sellora reads which ad it was and answers about that product straight away - even if their first message is just "hi". Your dashboard then shows how many orders and how much revenue each ad produced.
How do customers pay?
You choose: cash on delivery, bank transfer, or both. The bot offers only what you accept and shares your account details only with customers who choose transfer. It never asks for card numbers, PINs or OTPs. Your team marks an order paid in the dashboard when the money arrives.
Can I message customers later, after they stop replying?
WhatsApp only delivers a normal message within 24 hours of the customer's last one - that is Meta's rule, not ours. Inside that window the dashboard shows how long you have left. Outside it, Sellora uses one of your Meta-approved templates, and broadcasts always skip anyone who replied STOP.
Can customers really order in the chat?
Yes - the bot collects the name, phone number, and delivery address, shows a full order summary, and places the order only after the customer explicitly confirms. They can also check status or cancel a pending order right in the chat.
Can customers check where their order is?
Yes. Your storefront has a Track order page. The customer enters the order number (or the courier tracking number you saved) together with the phone number on the order and sees the status history, courier, tracking number, items and total. It works for WhatsApp, website and manually entered orders alike. Both details must match, lookups are rate limited, and the delivery address and phone numbers are never displayed.
Can I hand my courier a delivery sheet?
Yes. From Orders, export the filtered list as a courier delivery sheet in CSV, Excel or PDF. The built-in layout uses the columns most Sri Lankan couriers accept - name, address, tp_1, tp_2, price, qty, item_code, delivery - with phone numbers written the local way. If a courier needs different columns or headings, create a template once in Settings and reuse it every day. Sinhala names and addresses can be converted to Singlish for couriers who cannot read Sinhala.
How does stock stay accurate?
The bot never oversells: availability is checked at order time, stock is deducted when you mark an order shipped, and restored automatically if a shipped order is cancelled.
Are customer photos and voice notes stored?
Photos are analysed on the spot and never saved. Voice-note audio is never stored either - only the text transcript stays in the conversation history, like any other message.
How long does setup take?
Typically 1–3 days: we connect your WhatsApp number and configure the AI; you add products and policies. Most stores answer their first AI-handled customer the same week.
