How to start shopping on JioMart via WhatsApp?

Meta-owned instant messenger WhatsApp has today launched the first shopping experience on the app in partnership with Reliance Retail-owned JioMart. Users will now be able to browse and shop on JioMart from their WhatsApp chat itself.

This is the first end-to-end shopping feature on WhatsApp, with users being able to browse, shop and pay for their goods without ever leaving the app.

“A global first, JioMart on WhatsApp will enable users in India, including those who have never shopped online before, to seamlessly browse through JioMart’s entire grocery catalog, add items to cart, and make the payment to complete the purchase – all without leaving the WhatsApp chat,” states an official release by Reliance Retail.

“Today JioMart is LIVE on WhatsApp with our first end-to-end shopping experience. You can browse products, add your items to your cart, and make your payment — all within a WA chat! Excited about the opportunities this opens up for businesses to build experiences on WhatsApp!” said Will Cathcart, Head of WhatsApp at Meta.
