Sound familiar?

  1. The business phone was in Yao’s pocket all weekend. Monday morning: a pile of unread chats, and two customers in Abidjan who bought elsewhere.

  • Stages named after your own sales steps
  • Hot leads flagged automatically
  • Filter by teammate, category or hot leads
  • Insights on how leads move between stages

EliteTeQ Inbox in Côte d'Ivoire

EliteTeQ Inbox works for any business with a WhatsApp Business number in Côte d'Ivoire. Your number keeps its +225 format, and customers see your business name as they do today.

In Côte d’Ivoire, shops and services in Abidjan sell a great deal through WhatsApp conversations and Facebook pages. EliteTeQ Inbox brings both into one place for the team.

Customers in Côte d’Ivoire mostly write in French. Your team replies in French, and template messages for customers who haven’t written in 24 hours can be created in French too.

Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Abidjan: weekdays open, Saturday mornings open, Sunday closed. Anyone who writes while you are closed gets your away message, at most once every 12 hours, and the chat waits at the top of the list for the morning.

Selling on WhatsApp in Côte d'Ivoire

Abidjan is the commercial centre of francophone West Africa, with four competing mobile wallets in common use and districts that behave like separate markets. San-Pédro runs on the cocoa calendar.

Abidjan

Abidjan Autonomous District · Côte d'Ivoire's economic capital and principal port

Plateau trades on weekdays for offices, Adjamé and Treichville run dense low-margin market commerce, and Cocody and Marcory carry higher-basket retail and restaurants. Each has its own peak hour. Abidjan is the commercial centre of francophone West Africa, and its retail geography is genuinely segmented: the business district of Plateau, the dense trading quarters of Adjamé and Treichville, and the higher-basket restaurant and retail corridors of Cocody and Marcory each behave differently. A team in Abidjan answering one WhatsApp number never leaves these customers waiting.

Yamoussoukro

Yamoussoukro Autonomous District · Côte d'Ivoire's political capital

Commerce follows the institutional calendar — conferences, official visits and government activity — rather than market days, leaving quiet stretches between. Most businesses hold a single site. Yamoussoukro is the official capital and an administrative and institutional centre rather than a trading one, so retail and hospitality demand follows government activity, conferences and visitor flows more than market days. A team in Yamoussoukro answering one WhatsApp number never leaves these customers waiting.

Bouaké

Vallée du Bandama · Côte d'Ivoire's second city and a central trade junction

Goods arrive from Abidjan by road and rail and leave for the interior and the northern borders, so the town handles more transit volume than its own population would suggest. Trade is heaviest around market days. Bouaké sits at the junction of the country's north–south road and rail routes, which makes it a redistribution point for goods moving between Abidjan and the interior and on toward Mali and Burkina Faso. A team in Bouaké answering one WhatsApp number never leaves these customers waiting.

Questions businesses ask us

Not answered here? A person from our team replies on WhatsApp.

Ask a real person on WhatsApp
Can I keep using WhatsApp on my phone?

Yes. If your number is on the WhatsApp Business app, it can stay there: messages show on the phone and in the inbox, and replies typed on the phone appear in the inbox marked as sent from the app. Open the app at least every 14 days or Meta disconnects it.

Can I use my personal WhatsApp number?

No. Move it to the free WhatsApp Business app first. It keeps the same number and your chats.

Will my old WhatsApp chats show up?

When you connect a WhatsApp Business app number, Meta offers to share your recent chat history once, roughly the last 6 months. If you agree, those chats are added to the inbox. Older chats stay on your phone.

How long does setup take?

About 40 minutes the first time. Most businesses let us do it with them on WhatsApp, and paid setup packages are available if you want contacts, pipeline and templates done for you too.

How much does it cost?

Starter is $29 a month for 1 WhatsApp number and 3 people, Growth $59 for 2 numbers and 6 people, and Business $99 for 3 numbers and unlimited people. Paying yearly costs 10 months. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.

Do we pay WhatsApp for messages?

Replies inside 24 hours of a customer’s message are free. Meta charges for template messages you start, at its rate for the customer’s country, billed to your Meta account and not part of the EliteTeQ price.

Can we send a broadcast to everyone?

Not yet. You send approved templates to people one by one, and only to customers who agreed to hear from you. Mass messages to people who didn’t ask get numbers reported and limited.

Is there a WhatsApp CRM for businesses in Côte d'Ivoire?

Yes. EliteTeQ Inbox is a WhatsApp team inbox and CRM that businesses in Côte d'Ivoire use with their own +225 WhatsApp Business number. Staff in Abidjan, Bouaké or anywhere else answer from their own logins, every chat becomes a lead on a pipeline, and Facebook and Instagram messages land in the same list. Plans start at $29 a month with a 7-day free trial.

Can our team reply to customers in French?

Yes. Replies inside WhatsApp’s 24-hour window can be in any language, so your team answers in French the way customers write. Template messages, for customers who haven’t written in 24 hours, can currently be created in English or French.
