First bit of feedback, WhatsApp is for my friends and family, not for work. That this is the primary way to reach out suggests this is a hobby project, and I wouldn't get in touch for a business thing on my personal WhatsApp. Next up, the AI generated images aren't a great look, just get some actual screenshots of what I can expect when using it. No pricing information is a bit suspicious. That said, the idea sounds great, we used to have a little web app that did this at my old workplace, but it was something we had to build and host, and if we could have avoided it we would have.

Thanks for the feedback! It's apparently super common in Indonesia to have WhatsApp button on the website. In many popular websites, the Checkout button even opens WhatsApp (purchase happens in a WhatsApp chat, payment using bank transfer). It could be cultural, so maybe I'll region-lock the button. I wonder how's things in other countries? I don't have time yet to implement payment (maybe just use WhatsApp lol), that's why I don't put pricing. Is it common to put something like "This is free but later I'm going to charge you $x"? For the AI image, point taken. I will update it once I have some nice shots.

  You could region lock, or just put an address like "hello@..." front and center, that's probably enough. Here is Australia, and in the UK where I'm from, WhatsApp is everywhere, but no payments and it's pretty much exclusively personal use. In the US basically no one has WhatsApp. Makes sense about payments, good to focus on the product. I think saying "free during beta" is fine – it may put some people off because they don't want to rely on something that will go away or start charging later, but it's honest. You could put a target pricing if you want to set expectations for when you do implement payments. More info in general on the landing page about how it works, or the sorts of results I can expect, would be good. The page does a good job of telling me what's possible, but I know what digital signage is, how does this particular product help me more than other alternatives?

They have literally their email just below... also if small businesses are their target, it's quite clever to use WhatsApp

  I mentioned the email, being a sales email is a little intimidating. And using WhatsApp is highly region specific – I don't know anyone doing business on WhatsApp, including small businesses, and I live in a country where WhatsApp is very prevalent for personal communication.
