## Sound familiar? What e-commerce teams in Côte d'Ivoire tell us

> We posted a new collection and got 200 comments asking the price. Half never got an answer.

Comments come into the inbox next to DMs. Automatic replies answer comments that say “price” publicly and privately, while your team handles the rest.

> Buyers say “let me think” and disappear. We never chase them.

Every buyer is a lead on your pipeline. The ones waiting for you or about to decide are flagged hot, so the follow-up happens.

> We spend on Instagram ads every week and can’t tell which ones sell.

Leads from Click-to-WhatsApp ads arrive with the ad’s name, and reports rank your ads by leads and by clients won.

*Every enquiry is a customer deciding where to spend. Don’t let yours wait.*

- Every chat assigned to one person, with internal notes
- A pipeline named after your own steps

## EliteTeQ Inbox in Côte d'Ivoire

EliteTeQ Inbox works for online stores, Instagram shops and social sellers in Côte d'Ivoire on your existing +225 WhatsApp Business number. Customers see your business name as they do today, and your team answers from Abidjan and Bouaké or anywhere else.

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.

- **Numbers:** +225 (e.g. +225 07 00 00 00 00)
- **Office hours:** Run on Abidjan time (GMT)
- **Weekend:** Saturday and Sunday
- **Templates:** English or French
- **Price:** From $29 a month, in US dollars
- **Paying:** Card, charged in Kenyan shillings at the day’s rate

## Selling on WhatsApp in Côte d'Ivoire

Customers in Côte d'Ivoire pay with Orange Money, MTN MoMo, Moov Money and Wave wallets, cards, and cash, so when a sale closes on WhatsApp the customer may confirm payment in the chat, and your team needs to see that message quickly.

### [Bouaké](https://eliteteqpos.com/bouake/)

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

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. Cash and mobile money dominate settlement. 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. E-commerce enquiries from Bouaké land in one shared inbox, so a quote never waits on one person’s phone.

### [San-Pédro](https://eliteteqpos.com/san-pedro/)

Bas-Sassandra District · a major cocoa-exporting port

San-Pédro is built around its port and the cocoa and timber export trade, so local commerce is strongly seasonal and tracks the harvest and shipping calendar. A large share of trade is supplying firms and crews rather than shoppers, which pushes the requirement toward invoicing and credit accounts. Cash volumes spike sharply during buying season. E-commerce enquiries from San-Pédro land in one shared inbox, so a quote never waits on one person’s phone.

### [Korhogo](https://eliteteqpos.com/korhogo/)

Savanes District · the largest city in northern Côte d'Ivoire

Korhogo is the commercial centre of northern Côte d'Ivoire, trading in agricultural produce such as cotton and cashew alongside crafts. Mobile money (Orange Money, MTN, Wave) is widely used, and taxes are administered by the Direction Générale des Impôts. Agricultural trade and crafts feed a busy regional market. E-commerce enquiries from Korhogo land in one shared inbox, so a quote never waits on one person’s phone.

## Questions businesses ask us

**Is there a WhatsApp CRM for e-commerce in Côte d'Ivoire?**

Yes. E-commerce teams in Côte d'Ivoire use EliteTeQ Inbox with their own +225 WhatsApp Business number. Staff in Abidjan, Bouaké or anywhere else answer from their own logins, customers write in French, and office hours run on Abidjan time (GMT). Plans start at $29 a month with a 7-day free trial.

**Does it connect to my Shopify or online store?**

Not as a plug-in. The EliteTeQ API (in early access) lets a developer send order and delivery messages from your store and add leads to the pipeline. Without it, your team handles orders in the chat.

**Can it take payments in the chat?**

No. EliteTeQ Inbox doesn’t take payments. Share your usual payment details in the chat and move the buyer to a “Paid” stage when the money arrives.

**Can I send order updates on WhatsApp?**

Yes, with approved WhatsApp templates sent to customers who ordered from you. Replies within 24 hours of a customer’s message are free; Meta charges for templates you start.

**Can several staff use the same WhatsApp number?**

Yes. Everyone signs in with their own login, on a computer or phone, and each chat is assigned to one person. The WhatsApp Business app on your phone can stay connected.

**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. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial.
