Our story
Sri Lanka shops on WhatsApp.
We made it a marketplace.
WhatsAppVendors.lk is the directory that brings local sellers and their customers together — without the fees, the accounts, or the complicated checkout flows that don't fit how Sri Lanka already shops.

Mission
Connecting people, not platforms
We believe commerce is most powerful when it's personal. When you message a vendor directly, you can ask about freshness, negotiate a bundle, or arrange delivery to your door in a single conversation. That's not a workaround — it's how business has always worked in Sri Lanka, and it works brilliantly.
WhatsAppVendors.lk exists to amplify that. We give local vendors a professional storefront, expose their products to a wider audience, and make it trivially easy for shoppers to start a conversation with one tap. No checkout, no commission, no middleman taking a cut from every sale.
Why WhatsApp?
It's how Sri Lanka already shops
No new app to learn
WhatsApp is already installed on virtually every Sri Lankan smartphone. There's no friction — shoppers start chatting in one tap.
Real conversations, real trust
Messaging a seller directly builds the kind of trust a review score never can. Ask anything, get an honest answer.
Flexible payment & delivery
Cash on delivery, bank transfer, or pickup — arrangements happen naturally in the chat, in a way that suits both parties.
Local knowledge wins
A vendor who knows the Colombo traffic or the Kandy market is more useful than any algorithm. WhatsApp keeps that knowledge front and center.
Trust & safety
How we vet vendors
- 01
Application review
Every vendor submits their business details, WhatsApp number, and product category for our team to review — automated sign-ups are not accepted.
- 02
Manual approval
A real person on our team checks each application. We look for legitimate local businesses and flag anything that doesn't pass our standards.
- 03
Ongoing moderation
Approved vendors can be reported. We act on genuine complaints and remove vendors who violate our guidelines.
