ShopLinx needed WhatsApp to behave like a production sales channel — not a shared inbox. Aqeeq engineered catalog, cart, payments, CRM, and AI support to run at 3.2M messages per month with retail-grade reliability.

About

ShopLinx

ShopLinx serves multi-brand retailers across UAE and India. Their teams were already selling on WhatsApp — but every order, payment, and support thread lived outside core systems.

Aqeeq partnered with retail operators and Meta API specialists to turn WhatsApp into a governed commerce channel: inventory-aware catalog, in-chat checkout, and AI that escalates when confidence drops.

Challenges

Retailers treated WhatsApp as a manual inbox, not a system of record.

  • Manual selling could not scale during campaign spikes.
  • Off-channel payments broke reconciliation.
  • No CRM linkage disconnected conversations from LTV.

Project Journey

  1. 1. Discovery & channel design

    Mapped seller workflows, campaign spikes, and reconciliation pain. Defined the commerce data model and escalation rules before writing integration code.

  2. 2. Build & integrate

    Shipped catalog, cart, and regional payment connectors with ERP inventory sync.

    Deployed RAG-grounded AI support with human handoff for edge cases.

  3. 3. Scale & operate

    Hardened for peak campaign traffic — load testing, observability, and runbooks so ops could trust the channel during high-volume promotions.
