What is Social Commerce?

Definition

Social Commerce

Social commerce is the integration of e-commerce with social networks and messaging platforms, allowing customers to discover, evaluate, and purchase products directly within these platforms without leaving them.

Understanding Social Commerce

Social commerce has evolved from simple buy buttons on social media to complete conversational shopping experiences on WhatsApp. In Latin America, where WhatsApp is the most used app, messaging-based social commerce surpasses traditional Instagram and Facebook social commerce. Tecca brings the conversational layer: it turns every WhatsApp conversation into an informed opportunity where the AI recommends products from your configured catalog, answers questions, and hands off to your team to close, without the customer leaving their daily messaging app.

FAQ: Social Commerce

Common questions about social commerce

E-commerce happens on dedicated websites and apps. Social commerce happens within social and messaging platforms where people already spend their time. The key advantage is removing the friction of redirecting customers to a separate website, which is especially powerful on WhatsApp where the purchase happens through natural conversation.
WhatsApp has over 2 billion users globally and 98% message open rates. In Latin America, it is the primary communication channel. The conversational nature of WhatsApp creates trust and allows for personalized selling that static product pages cannot match.
Products that benefit from recommendation and personalization perform best: cosmetics, fashion, specialty foods, and handmade goods. Services that require consultation like beauty treatments and professional services also convert well through conversational social commerce on WhatsApp.
