How DTC Brands Use WhatsApp Chat Commerce to Convert

Episode 31 of The Ecommerce Hour explores how DTC brands are turning WhatsApp from a customer service tool into a full-funnel chat commerce engine. Lucas and Luna unpack the strategy behind Brazil's largest beauty brand, Natura, which now processes over 60 percent of its online orders via WhatsApp. They break down the three-step funnel: broadcast, one-on-one consultation, and seamless checkout. The hosts also look at a smaller U.S. supplement brand, Bumped, that replaced its email abandon-cart sequence with a WhatsApp chatbot, lifting recovery rates from 12 percent to 28 percent. The conversation covers integration with Shopify, compliance with WhatsApp's Business API, and why conversational commerce works better for high-consideration products.
