This article will help you connect your Zoko account with your catalog on Meta Business Suite and Business Manager profile. By integrating these platforms, you can enhance catalog management, streamline operations, and boost sales. With a streamlined experience, customers save time and are more likely to make a purchase.

By enabling catalogs, businesses can effectively share products with customers. They can also showcase their offerings within the WhatsApp App, allowing customers to browse and add items to their cart without leaving the conversation. This provides a seamless and convenient shopping experience, enhancing customer satisfaction and driving sales.
