Storefronts on WhatsApp in Southeast Asia
Yezza makes it easy for small businesses in SE Asia to create storefronts on WhatsApp. Our MRR is $40K with $3M monthly GMV, from 1500 orders every day. We are profitable. Not only for selling goods & products, Yezza also built features to fit with many use cases in WhatsApp Commerce. For example, social media influencers use Yezza to deal with brands using WhatsApp. We found that customers also make table reservations through WhatsApp. Merchants pay us $12 per month & up to $0.25 per order. With 50M WhatsApp Business downloads in SE Asia, this creates a $7.2B market opportunity. Interestingly, a similar buying-via-WhatsApp behavior exists in Latin America & Africa. Previously, we bootstrapped a tech-enabled travel company to $12M in annual revenue, by selling travel packages using WhatsApp. We built & used this product for 4 years in our previous company. During COVID19, we offshoot it to become a standalone business called Yezza. Yezza is now backed by Y Combinator & angel who worked at Facebook/WhatsApp.
Yezza positions itself as an operating system for businesses, offering industry-specific management software with features spanning appointments, inventory, marketing, payments, and customer engagement. It emphasizes easy onboarding, automation, fast support, and regular feature updates, with a focus on sectors like healthcare, hospitality, and retail that use WhatsApp as a storefront channel.
Yezza provides an all-in-one platform that includes clinic/hospital management, patient database, appointment scheduling, queueing, billing, inventory, marketing, reviews, and integrations. It supports online store capabilities, WhatsApp forms, payment links, QR codes, order management, shipping integrations, multiple payment methods, and marketing tools (SMS, email, WhatsApp broadcast, social pixels). It also offers a separate set of à la carte tools under Yezza Connect (e-commerce store, landing pages, reviews management, Chrome extension, blast messaging, pay-per-use analytics, and invoicing). New features are released every two weeks, and migration helps move large customer databases from existing systems.
Who it’s for: Small to mid-sized businesses in customer-facing sectors (healthcare clinics, hospitals, restaurants, spas, salons, fashion retailers, donations) that use WhatsApp for orders, bookings, and customer engagement.
