Best WhatsApp catalog app in India (2026): eight options compared

If you sell on WhatsApp, a catalog app has one job: turn your products into a link a customer can browse, then send you an order you can actually read. The best WhatsApp catalog app in India is the one that matches how you take payment and how many products you carry, not the one with the longest feature list.

We compared eight options Indian shops commonly shortlist, using publicly listed prices and product limits on 27 October 2026. Prices change, so check each provider before you pay. Here is the short version, then the detail.

First decide which of three jobs you need

1. 1The native WhatsApp catalog. It is free, lives inside the Business app, holds up to 500 items on one number, and cannot be shared as a web link or indexed by Google.
2. 2A catalog link app. It gives you a real web page with your own URL, theme and product search, then hands the finished order to WhatsApp. This is what most small shops actually need.
3. 3A full online store. It adds card checkout, shipping rates, tax and inventory. Useful when online payment is the norm, heavier than most chat-first shops need.

The eight options below all sit in the second or third category. The question is which one matches your order volume, product count and budget.

How we compared them

• Total cost, including commission and per-order fees, not just the headline plan.
• Product ceiling, because a cheap 30-product plan becomes expensive when you stock 60 items.
• Order format, because an order notification is not the same as an itemised order with quantities and options.
• Branding, meaning themes, typography and whether the page looks like your shop.
• Search visibility, because a catalog that can be indexed keeps working after the chat goes quiet.

MyShp: built for the order, not just the listing

MyShp gives every store a shareable catalog link with unlimited products, unlimited orders and 50 storefront themes. The cart validates the current price and availability before sending, then produces one WhatsApp message with items, quantities, options, delivery details and total. The order is also saved in the dashboard with its status and payment state.

Payments are arranged directly between you and the customer: show a UPI QR, bank details or wallet at checkout, ask for an optional 50% or custom advance, or offer cash on delivery. MyShp takes 0% commission because it never touches the money. The Pro plan covers coupons, extra charges, a customer book with balances, receipts and CSV exports, and multiple stores from one account. Each store has its own plan, and only the first store gets the 14-day trial.

Catafy and QuickSell: strong for B2B, heavier for a corner shop

Catafy is catalogue software for manufacturers, distributors and retailers. Its Starter plan is ₹499 per month with 500 products, a 7-day trial and no free tier; higher plans add catalogues, products, POS and invoicing. If you send quotations and need per-buyer price lists, it is a serious option. For a boutique selling to consumers on WhatsApp, the B2B machinery is more than you need.

QuickSell positions itself as an ecommerce enablement platform for WhatsApp-first businesses, with catalogue websites and apps, curated catalogues per customer and catalogue-open alerts. It is aimed at sales teams. Its pricing is not published on the website, which makes it hard to compare before a call.

Onshop and Storzu: the free-forever route

Onshop offers a free storefront for Indian shops, with a Pro plan at ₹499 per month, four templates and cash on delivery on the free tier. Storzu offers a free plan with 10 products and 100 orders per month, then paid tiers from ₹199. Both are sensible if a fixed zero budget matters more than product count or theme choice. MyShp is a better fit when you need unlimited products, more visual control and a richer order handoff, and you are comfortable with a trial that becomes a paid plan.

Interacters, OneCatalog and ProductShare: the middle tier

Interacters describes itself as a free WhatsApp store builder, but its pricing page listed ₹999 per year for a portfolio and ₹4,999 per year for a storefront, with no free plan on 27 October 2026. OneCatalog starts at ₹1,999 per year for 20 products and includes a done-for-you setup. ProductShare offers a 30-day trial, then ₹249 per month for 30 products. These are reasonable for a small, fixed catalogue. Check the product ceiling carefully: 20 or 30 items is less than one season of stock for many shops. The full pricing comparison digs into the annual plans.

What the price tags hide

• Commission. A 7% fee on ₹1,00,000 of monthly sales costs ₹7,000, far more than most subscriptions.
• Per-order fees. Some platforms charge after a free order allowance, so growth increases the bill.
• Product caps. A ₹0 plan with 10 products is not cheap if you carry 40.
• Annual-only billing. A low yearly price can still be a large upfront commitment.
• Setup fees. Done-for-you catalogues may include a deposit or per-batch charge.

Who should choose something else

• Need a free-forever storefront: Onshop or Storzu.
• Need B2B quotations, per-customer price lists or POS: Catafy or QuickSell.
• Need card checkout, carrier labels and a large plugin stack: Shopify, which starts at ₹1,800 per month in India plus transaction fees.
• Want the catalogue built for you: OneCatalog.

For a small shop that already sells in chat, the decision usually comes down to order quality and total cost. Read how MyShp compares with Dukaan and with Onshop, or start the 14-day trial and send yourself a test order before you decide.
