Check Postage Can Be Done Using WhatsApp, Here's How To Do It

YOGYAKARTA - During the pandemic, shopping online using e-Commerce has become a new habit that people often do. A number of people then take advantage of it by becoming a reseller and selling it to online stores.

To attract customers to buy their products, sellers usually use various advertising services such as Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and others. Meanwhile, to interact until a transaction occurs with the customer, the seller usually uses the WhatsApp instant messaging application.

When viewing postage costs (Ongkir), sellers usually have to open two windows on their phones to view the postage costs and send them to the customer. It is also quite inconvenient, especially for sellers who are not used to doing it.

However, you don't need to worry because WhatsApp currently allows users to install a third-party application that can show the shipping list easily, namely the Selly application.

To install the Selly application and integrate it with WhatsApp, the VOI team has prepared the steps that you can do below.

Check Postage Using WhatsApp

The first step you can take is to download the Selly app on the Play Store and install it on your device.

Next, you can open the application and create a new account using your email and fill in the requested form, then verify.

After the verification process is complete, you can login using the email and password you created earlier. The user will go to Selly's main page, and see a list of features that you can use.

To be able to check shipping costs using WhatsApp, go to your phone's keyboard settings menu, then activate the Selly Keyboard, by selecting the "Selly" menu in the keyboard settings.

After that, open the WhatsApp application on your phone. At the top of your keyboard display there are new icons namely "Make Bills", "Check Postage", "Auto Text", and "Pending".

You can select the Check Postage menu on the keyboard display, and select the Maps icon to enter the delivery location. Next, you can enter the address of the consignee.

After entering the sender and recipient addresses, click "Finish", and you can view the shipping costs by clicking the "Check Postage" icon. You will be shown the shipping costs that must be paid along with the shipping service used.

Next, check the name of the expedition you are using and it will automatically be copied into text containing the postage payment details. You can also send it to customers.

That's how to check postage easily through the WhatsApp application with the help of third-party applications to make it easier for you to check postage when sending goods.
