Running a local shop today means customers expect to see your products before they contact you. But building an app or website is expensive, time-consuming, and unnecessary for most local businesses.
That’s exactly what chotu is built for.
chotu helps local shop owners create a digital product catalog in seconds, connected directly to their WhatsApp number, with a shareable link and QR code-no technical skills required.
What Is a Digital Catalog for Local Shops?
A digital catalog is a simple online version of your product or service list that customers can view on their phone.
With chotu, your digital catalog:
- Shows your products or services clearly
- Works on any mobile phone
- Opens instantly without app downloads
- Connects customers directly to you on WhatsApp
Instead of telling customers “call me” or “come to the shop”, you can now say:
“Here’s my catalog – message me on WhatsApp.”
