EliteTeQ Inbox in Nigeria

EliteTeQ Inbox works for event planners, wedding planners, decorators and venues in Nigeria on your existing +234 WhatsApp Business number. Customers see your business name as they do today, and your team answers from Lagos and Abuja or anywhere else.

In Nigeria, a lot of buying starts as a WhatsApp or Instagram message: a price check, a “is this available?”, a photo of a product. When one phone is shared between staff, those enquiries get lost overnight. EliteTeQ Inbox puts them in one list that the whole team can see, from Lagos to Kano.

Customers write in English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa or Igbo, often mixed in one chat. Your team answers the way the customer writes; template messages are created in English.

Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Lagos or Abuja: 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 Nigeria

Customers in Nigeria pay with instant bank transfer on the NIBSS rails, cards on Verve and Interswitch, USSD, and agent-network wallets including OPay, PalmPay and Moniepoint, so when a sale closes on WhatsApp the customer may confirm payment in the chat, and your team needs to see that message quickly.

Kano

Kano State · the commercial hub of northern Nigeria

Kano is northern Nigeria's trading centre, with a long-established merchant economy around textiles, leather, grain and general goods, and trade routes running north toward the Sahel. Cash and agency banking remain heavily used alongside transfers, and business hours and trading peaks follow prayer times and market days rather than a uniform weekday pattern. Trade turns on market days and prayer times rather than a uniform nine-to-five, and the old city trading quarters set the pace for the whole market. Client enquiries from Kano get an owner and a follow-up instead of sitting in someone’s personal chats.

Ibadan

Oyo State · a major southwestern commercial and university city

Ibadan combines one of Nigeria's largest urban markets with a substantial student and academic population, which produces two quite different trading patterns in the same city: high-volume, low-margin market trade around Bodija and Dugbe, and term-driven demand around the university corridor. Bodija and Dugbe carry the high-volume market trade while the university corridor runs on the academic calendar, so one city holds two unrelated demand curves. Many owners operate three or four small shops rather than one large one. Client enquiries from Ibadan get an owner and a follow-up instead of sitting in someone’s personal chats.

Port Harcourt

Rivers State · the centre of Nigeria's oil and gas industry

Port Harcourt's retail and hospitality trade is tied to the oil and gas economy and the contractor and expatriate spending that comes with it, which makes demand more cyclical than in Lagos or Ibadan and raises the share of card and corporate account payments. Businesses serving industry clients often need to issue proper invoices and track credit accounts rather than only ring up walk-in sales. Demand follows contractor cycles and corporate accounts more than walk-in footfall, and the expatriate-facing venues trade on a different basket entirely. Client enquiries from Port Harcourt get an owner and a follow-up instead of sitting in someone’s personal chats.

Onitsha

Anambra State · one of West Africa's largest market and distribution centres

Onitsha is a distribution city first and a retail city second: goods arrive, are broken into smaller lots and move on across the southeast and beyond. That makes wholesale pricing tiers, fast repeat-customer lookup and accurate supplier and credit tracking the core requirements, rather than table service or loyalty features. The main market sets prices for a wide swathe of the southeast, and goods arrive in bulk before being broken down and moved on within days. Client enquiries from Onitsha get an owner and a follow-up instead of sitting in someone’s personal chats.

Questions businesses ask us

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

Ask a human
Is there a WhatsApp CRM for events & weddings in Nigeria?

Yes. Events & weddings teams in Nigeria use EliteTeQ Inbox with their own +234 WhatsApp Business number. Staff in Lagos, Abuja or anywhere else answer from their own logins, customers write in English, Pidgin, Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo, and office hours run on Lagos time (WAT). Plans start at $29 a month with a 7-day free trial.

Does it track event dates in a calendar?

No. Keep your event calendar where it is, and track each client’s stage on the pipeline.

Can vendors join the inbox?

Anyone you invite gets a login, but each one counts as a person on your plan. Most planners keep vendors on their usual WhatsApp groups.

Can we send reminders before the event?

Yes. Reply freely within 24 hours of the client’s last message, or send an approved template after that.

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.
