EliteTeQ Inbox in Qatar

EliteTeQ Inbox works for restaurants, cafés, caterers and takeaways in Qatar on your existing +974 WhatsApp Business number. Customers see your business name as they do today, and your team answers from Doha and Al Wakrah or anywhere else.

In Qatar, shops and services in Doha take many enquiries on WhatsApp. EliteTeQ Inbox gives each enquiry an owner on the team and keeps the full history with the customer.

Customers in Qatar write in Arabic, English or both. Your team replies in the customer’s language inside the 24-hour window; template messages can currently be created in English.

The working week in Qatar runs Sunday to Thursday, and office hours are set day by day, so Friday can be closed and Saturday short or closed. Customers who write on the weekend get your away message, at most once every 12 hours, and their chats wait at the top of the list for Sunday morning.

Selling on WhatsApp in Qatar

Customers in Qatar pay with cards, Apple Pay, Ooredoo Money, and contactless, so when a sale closes on WhatsApp the customer may confirm payment in the chat, and your team needs to see that message quickly.
