From first message to order, one record.

In SilverCheckout, an order moves from first message to confirmation on one record. The customer sees every step in the conversation; your team sees the same record on the panel.

The example order's states in order: draft, cart, link, paid, recorded, being prepared.

ExampleThe states of order #1042. The last one is your order system's own status, read back into the conversation.

One example sale, step by step.

Built on SilverReply. The SilverOps team keeps the books.

The product is found inside the chat.

Customers write in their own words; products and stock come into the chat.

Example. Business: an olive oil producer. Customer: a restaurant. Product names, prices, times and numbers are illustrative.

  1. Customer: Hi, is the new harvest in? We need 5-litre tins for the kitchen.

    10:42

  2. Business: Hello, it is. There are two options for kitchen use:
    • Early harvest extra virgin, 5 L tinTRY 1,850.00
    • Extra virgin, 5 L tinTRY 1,450.00

Step 1 of 6

  1. 10:42

    The product is found inside the chat.

    Customers describe what they want in their own words. Matching products come from your catalogue and the stock figure from your own system, and nobody is sent to another page.

    10:42 Catalogue searched, stock checked: 38 units. Example.

  2. 10:44

    Questions get the business's own answers.

    Delivery, invoicing, returns: the answers come from the knowledge base SilverReply uses, which holds the business's own information, so nothing is written twice.

    10:44 Knowledge base entry used: Delivery. Example.

  3. 10:46

    The cart is built from what the customer types.

    The customer types "four tins". Product, quantity and total go straight onto the receipt, and nobody copies the order into a notebook later.

    10:46 Cart: 1 line, TRY 7,400.00. Example.

  4. 10:47

    The payment link arrives in the thread.

    A link carrying the cart's total lands in the same conversation. One step replaces the IBAN messages and the wait for a transfer slip.

    10:47 Link sent, order #1042 opened. Example.

  5. next day 09:30

    An unfinished order isn't forgotten.

    An order that stops at payment is followed up. The reminder goes out in the same conversation, with the same cart, so the customer never starts over.

    Reminded the next day at 09:30, paid at 09:41. Example.

  6. 09:42

    Confirmation and the record flow from one place.

    Once payment lands, confirmation follows, the order is written to your order system and stock updates. The order number and its status stay in that same conversation.

    09:42 Stock down from 38 to 34, order #1042 written. Example.

Double entry.

Every state is written twice: once in the conversation the customer sees, once on the panel your team sees. Both tell the story of the same order.

Mid-sale, a person.

Some sales are for your team to close. Here the customer asks for a price at volume, and SilverReply hands the conversation over to your sales team. They see the whole conversation and order #1042; the customer gets the answer in the same conversation.

  1. 16:28 · Customer: One more thing: we're thinking 40 tins for the holiday. Can we talk price at that volume? Panel: Handover reason: a price question at volume. Example.
  2. 16:28 · Business: At that volume our sales team should take it from here. They have the whole conversation and will reply in this chat shortly. Panel: Handed to: sales team. Context: order #1042, the delivery question, the 40-tin request.
  3. 16:34 · Sales team: Hello, sales team here. We're preparing a quote for 40 tins delivered before the holiday; you'll have it in this chat today. Panel: Replied by: sales team.

Example. In this conversation the handover reason is a price question at volume.

Each line, a different author. One record.

SilverReply, SilverCall and SilverGrow share this panel and this knowledge base, and the same SilverOps team installs all four.

Layers.

SilverReply carries the conversation. SilverCheckout keeps the order. The same team installs both.

No receipt goes out behind the stockroom's back.

An order taken in the chat is written to the business's own stock and order systems. Product and stock details come from there, the order goes there, and its status comes back from there into the conversation.

The loop:

  1. Product and stock details come into the conversation.
  2. The cart is built; once payment lands, the order is written to your order system.
  3. Stock goes down in your stock system.
  4. The order status returns to the conversation.

Read, written, returned.

SilverCheckout reads from the business's own systems, writes to them and carries the status they return into the conversation.

Read

  • products
  • prices
  • stock

Written

  • the order record
  • payment confirmation

Returned

  • order status

Which systems it connects to is decided on the discovery call, and the SilverOps team builds the connections. If those systems are missing or scattered, the same team builds the ERP and stock side too.

Installation.

The SilverOps team keeps the books from the first line.

Three of the questions.

  • How do you take orders over WhatsApp?

    The order is taken inside the conversation: the customer writes what they want, the cart is built in the chat and the payment link arrives in the same thread.

    The full answer

  • How does an order from WhatsApp reach a stock or ERP system?

    Once payment lands, the order is written to your order system and stock updates; the same order appears on the panel too.

    The full answer

  • How is selling inside the chat different from an online store?

    In an online store the customer comes to the shop and finishes the payment alone; selling inside the chat closes the sale in the conversation the customer is already having.

The record opens with a conversation.
