By the ADSGY team
You can start selling online in Guyana with a clear product catalogue, a reliable contact method and an order process your team can manage. Card checkout can be added later. The first job is to help a customer understand the product, total cost and next step.
Choose a sales flow you can actually maintain
A small shop can publish products on a website and let customers enquire through WhatsApp. Staff confirm stock, pickup or delivery and payment arrangements before accepting an order. This works differently from instant checkout: a message is an enquiry until the business confirms the details.
What every product page should show
- The actual product name, model, size or variation.
- Original photographs and an honest description.
- Price with an explicit currency such as GYD.
- Stock status or an explanation that availability needs confirmation.
- Pickup location, delivery areas and any additional charge.
- Returns, exchange and warranty terms that the business really provides.
A worked example: a furniture seller in Georgetown
This is an illustrative example, not an ADSGY client result. A seller offers a dining set for GYD 120,000. The page shows the table dimensions, number of chairs, condition and several photographs. It explains that pickup is available in Georgetown and delivery is quoted separately by destination. A customer can send a message about that exact set instead of asking which item an old social post describes.
Use a message that keeps the product context
Suggested customer message: “Hello, I am interested in [product name]. Is it available? I need [quantity or size] in [town or area]. Please confirm the total price, pickup or delivery options, and payment methods.”
Suggested staff reply: “Thanks for your enquiry. We will check availability and confirm the product price, delivery charge if applicable, and expected collection or delivery time. Your order is confirmed only after we agree on those details.”
Plan payment and delivery before advertising
Offer only payment methods your business supports. If you accept cash on collection, a transfer or another method, explain the process clearly. Confirm payment through your own records rather than relying on a screenshot. State who arranges transport, which areas you serve, and when delivery charges are confirmed. Do not advertise nationwide delivery unless you can fulfil it.
Keep your catalogue current
Assign one person to update prices, remove unavailable products and check incoming enquiries. Review unanswered messages each business day. A smaller accurate catalogue is more useful than hundreds of products nobody maintains.
How to bring local buyers to the catalogue
Share a link to the exact product or category in relevant social posts. Use descriptive product titles and truthful location details. You can also post a free ADSGY marketplace listing for a distinct item and keep it updated when availability changes. Follow community rules before sharing promotional links.
Start with a free listing for one item
If you are selling an individual item rather than building a full shop catalogue, post a free ad on ADSGY. Include your own photos, a clear title, condition, price in GYD, and the town or area where the item is available. Explain pickup or delivery charges honestly and update the ad when the item is sold.
Buyers can browse the ADSGY Marketplace to compare available listings. A marketplace ad helps people discover an item; an enquiry does not guarantee a sale, payment, or delivery.
When is full ecommerce worth adding?
Consider checkout when stock, payment processing, delivery pricing and customer support are dependable. Confirm gateway eligibility and fees with the provider before promising an integration. A website cannot fix an unclear fulfilment process on its own.
Your launch checklist
- Prepare photographs, prices and descriptions for your first products.
- Write pickup, delivery, payment and return terms.
- Test the product pages and contact buttons on a phone.
- Assign responsibility for stock updates and replies.
- Track enquiries, confirmed orders and completed sales separately.

Frequently asked questions
Do we need card checkout to start?
No. A catalogue can send customers to a WhatsApp enquiry, with staff confirming stock, payment and delivery before accepting an order.
Can we add checkout later?
Yes, when a suitable payment provider supports your business and the order process is ready. Confirm availability, fees and requirements with the provider.
How do we start?
Gather your product list, photos, prices and delivery areas, then contact ADSGY to discuss your catalogue.
