# Stop losing sales in your DMs. Answer every “is this available?” before the buyer moves on — EliteTeQ Inbox for online stores, Instagram shops and social sellers

**Your post goes viral, the DMs and comments pour in, and the same three people try to answer from their phones. The buyers you don’t reach in an hour buy from the next shop.**

EliteTeQ Inbox puts every product question, order and delivery query from WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook in one shared inbox. Your team answers fast, every buyer is tracked from first question to paid, and you see which ads actually sell.

- “Is this available?” and prices
- Orders and payment confirmations
- Delivery and tracking questions
- Returns and exchanges

## Sound familiar? What e-commerce teams 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.*

## One shared inbox for online stores, Instagram shops and social sellers.

EliteTeQ Inbox is a customer conversation and CRM platform. WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs and comments land in one workspace your whole team answers from.

For online stores, Instagram shops and social sellers, that means every enquiry below has an owner, a stage and a follow-up:

- “Is this available?” and prices
- Orders and payment confirmations
- Delivery and tracking questions

## What is a WhatsApp CRM for e-commerce?

A WhatsApp CRM for e-commerce is a shared inbox and lead pipeline for the messages online stores, Instagram shops and social sellers get every day. EliteTeQ Inbox connects your WhatsApp Business number, Facebook Page and Instagram account, lets several staff answer from their own logins, puts every customer on a pipeline (for example Asked about a product, Price sent, Ordered), and shows the owner who answered and how fast.

- One business number, many staff, each with their own login
- Every chat assigned to one person, with internal notes
- A pipeline named after your own steps
- Reports on reply speed, leads per day and ad sources

## Questions businesses ask us

**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.
