Adding one more question to this list: what about those who don’t use WhatsApp? The website says “share invoices over WhatsApp and email”, which I take as native support or integrations for these modes.

WhatsApp is the main form of communication in India, both personal and business.

GP here. I’m located in India and know about the prevalence of WhatsApp. However, I don’t use it and I know many people who don’t use it. Hence the question related to integrations (and wanting to know if other integrations are planned).

You're in a tiny minority then, and it wouldn't hurt startups if a small segment is untargetable. In fact, they shouldn't worry about it for now.

Right, most of our present customers use WhatsApp.

Yes, they can share the bills directly from the platform. For the users who don't use WhatsApp for their business, they can either send emails or we have an option to print/download these bills and give it to their customers.

I should’ve worded my question more comprehensively. Any plans for integrations with other platforms?
