How to register as a TalkyBuy vendor and set up your profile so the right buyers find you — and contact you on WhatsApp.
TalkyBuy sends buyer requests directly to your WhatsApp. The vendors who receive the most requests aren't the biggest — they're the ones whose profiles are specific and complete.
Before you fill in a single field, it helps to understand what happens after you register.
A buyer opens TalkyBuy and sends a message on WhatsApp describing what they need — in text, voice, a photo, or even a product link from another website. TalkyBuy's AI reads that request, identifies the category and location, and matches it against registered vendors. The buyer receives a ranked list of matching shops and can contact any of them directly.
What this means for you as a vendor: you don't advertise, you don't cold-call, and you don't need to be on Google. You just need to be registered correctly. Every registered shop is part of the matching pool from the moment sign-up is complete.
TalkyBuy's AI matches your shop to buyers who are actively searching for what you sell — then delivers their request directly to your WhatsApp. No cold calls, no directories.
Buyers send their request by text, voice message, photo, or product link on WhatsApp. You respond the same way — using a number you already own and use every day.
Buyers on TalkyBuy get quote comparisons from multiple vendors in minutes, not days. Being registered means you're part of every relevant comparison the moment a buyer searches.
Buyers and vendors communicate in their preferred language. TalkyBuy supports English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Marathi, and more — so language is never a barrier to a sale.
Registration is split into three steps. Each one adds a layer of information that helps buyers find you more accurately. None of it takes more than a few minutes — but what you enter here directly controls how often your shop appears in buyer searches.
You start with four fields: your shop or business name, the business category that best describes what you sell, your primary phone number (country code included), and the owner's full name. The category you pick here is the single most important choice in the whole registration — it controls which buyer searches you show up in. Pick the closest match from the 14 available categories.
Enter your full shop address and pincode. TalkyBuy auto-looks up your city and state from the pincode, so buyers searching by area can find you accurately. Then verify your WhatsApp number via a one-time OTP — this step is required, because WhatsApp is how all buyer requests reach you. You can also add an alternate phone, email, your year of establishment, and optionally a GST number.
This section has the biggest impact on how often you get found. Write a business description that tells buyers exactly what you specialise in. Add up to 8 keywords — these are the terms buyers type when they need what you sell. Set your business hours (or mark yourself as open 24 hours). If you deliver, enable that option and enter your delivery range and base fee. Upload up to 5 shop photos; the first one becomes your cover image visible to buyers. You can also link your website, Google Business page, JustDial, or IndiaMART listing.
Once registered, your shop is visible to buyers searching in your category and pincode area. When a buyer's request matches your profile, TalkyBuy routes it directly to your verified WhatsApp number. You respond, quote, and close the deal — all through WhatsApp, in your own language.
The keywords field is labelled "helps customers find this vendor" in the registration form — and that is exactly what it does. You get up to 8 keywords. These sit alongside your category when TalkyBuy matches buyer requests to vendor profiles.
The best keywords are the phrases buyers actually type or say. Think of the last ten customers who walked into your shop or called you — what did they ask for, word for word? Those are your keywords. Not your business tagline. Not your category name (that's already captured). The exact terms your buyers use.
Here are examples by category to get you thinking:
A buyer searching for medicines will never see an Automobile vendor. A salon won't appear in Electronics results. Pick the category that most closely describes your core business. If your shop spans multiple areas — say, a general store that sells electronics and groceries — choose the category that brings in the most revenue, then use keywords to cover the rest.
Verification is required, but more importantly: an unverified WhatsApp number means every buyer request sent your way silently fails to reach you. TalkyBuy sends a 6-digit OTP to the number you register — enter it during sign-up and you're done. Use the number you actually answer, not a secondary SIM you rarely check.
The keywords field (up to 8) is the most direct way to control what buyer searches surface your shop. Don't waste slots on your category name (that's already set). Use the words buyers actually type: an Electronics vendor might add 'iPhone repair', 'Samsung screen replacement', 'laptop battery'. A Restaurant might add 'biryani home delivery', 'office lunch catering', 'wedding food'. A Chemist might add '24 hour pharmacy', 'home delivery medicines', 'genuine medicines'.
The business description is optional, but buyers read it before deciding to contact you. Lead with what you actually stock or specialise in, not generic statements. 'Multi-brand electronics service centre — Apple, Samsung, OnePlus. Walk-in and doorstep repair available.' is more useful than 'We provide best electronics services.' Be specific enough that a buyer knows within two sentences whether you can help them.
You can upload up to 5 shop images. The first photo you add becomes the cover image buyers see first. Use a clear, well-lit photo of your shopfront or your best-selling products. A Salon should show the salon interior. A Restaurant should show a signature dish. An Electronics vendor should show the service counter or product display. Avoid blurry phone photos taken in poor light.
Buyers can see your opening and closing times before sending a request. If you mark yourself as open when you're not, buyers get no response and move on. Set your real hours, or turn on the 24-hours toggle if your shop genuinely never closes (common for Chemists and Restaurants). Accurate hours build trust — buyers know exactly when to expect a reply.
The delivery option is a dedicated filter buyers use. If you can deliver — whether you're a grocer, a restaurant, a pharmacy, or a home-furnishing seller — tick that checkbox, set your delivery radius in kilometres, and add your base delivery fee. Buyers searching for delivery-available vendors in your area will include you in their shortlist, while shops with delivery turned off get excluded.
TalkyBuy supports 13 languages: English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, and Urdu. Buyers searching in a specific language are matched to vendors who have set that language as their preference. If your customers overwhelmingly speak Kannada, setting that as your preferred language means buyers searching in Kannada are more likely to find you.
Use this before you submit. Every item below is a field in the actual registration form. The ones marked as required will block submission if left blank; the rest are optional but worth completing before your first buyer request arrives.
Registration takes under ten minutes. The difference between a profile that gets three buyer requests a week and one that gets thirty is almost entirely in those 8 keyword slots and a well-written description — both of which you can update any time.
Register your shop on TalkyBuy and start receiving buyer requests on WhatsApp — no commission, no ad spend.
