## EliteTeQ Inbox in Kenya

EliteTeQ Inbox works for event planners, wedding planners, decorators and venues in Kenya on your existing +254 WhatsApp Business number. Customers see your business name as they do today, and your team answers from Nairobi and Mombasa or anywhere else.

Kenyan customers ask on WhatsApp before they walk in or pay: prices, stock, delivery to their estate or town. EliteTeQ is based in Nairobi, so setup and support happen on Kenyan time with a team that knows how local shops sell.

Customers write in English, Swahili or Sheng. Your team replies the same way, and template messages can be created in English or Swahili.

Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Nairobi: 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:** +254 (e.g. +254 712 000 000)
- **Office hours:** Run on Nairobi time (EAT)
- **Weekend:** Saturday and Sunday
- **Templates:** English or Swahili
- **Price:** From $29 a month, in US dollars
- **Paying:** M-Pesa or card, in Kenyan shillings

## Selling on WhatsApp in Kenya

Customers in Kenya pay with M-Pesa (STK Push & Till/Paybill), cards, and bank transfers, so when a sale closes on WhatsApp the customer may confirm payment in the chat, and your team needs to see that message quickly.
