trtWhats vs the native WhatsApp apps on Salla and Zid
Salla and Zid app stores offer WhatsApp notification apps that send order and cart messages from within one store. They are convenient and store-scoped, and specifics vary by app and developer. trtWhats connects to the same Salla or Zid store but runs on the official WhatsApp Cloud API with a shared inbox, AI agent, approved templates and campaigns across every channel and platform you sell on.
