Whatsell vs Taplink
The Taplink alternative for sellers who take orders in WhatsApp
Taplink is a well made link in bio builder: one mobile page in your bio, with buttons to your messengers, text, videos, forms and even a small product list. If what you sell is a handful of items and a chat, it gets you started. Whatsell starts where that page stops: a full store on the link, a checkout with delivery details, and an order that arrives in your WhatsApp already written out.
Free to start. No credit card.
What Taplink does well
A permanently free basic page, and a builder that is quick to learn.
Buttons that open a chat in one tap, plus blocks for text, video, FAQs and forms.
Popular with Instagram and TikTok sellers in many countries, so customers already recognise the format.
Where Whatsell works differently
A store, not a page of blocks
Categories, product pages, variants such as size and colour, stock and a cart, so a customer can order three items without a single message.
The order writes itself
The customer enters the delivery details at checkout, and you receive one WhatsApp message with the items, address and total, ready to confirm.
Cash on delivery and delivery fees built in
Payment at the door is the default, and delivery fees follow the zones you set, so you open for business without a payment gateway.

Who should choose Whatsell instead
Keep Taplink if your bio needs to point at many different things and selling is a side job. Choose Whatsell if the honest reason people tap your link is to buy, and you are tired of rebuilding every order from a conversation.
Switching from Taplink
Yes. Customers can message you from the store at any time, and every order they place reaches you in WhatsApp.
Yes. Your store can link out to your Instagram, TikTok and other pages, so it can replace the link in bio page entirely.
