Meta Business Agent is a great free baseline. Sijima is built on top of the same platform — and goes further where the sale actually closes.
Meta Business Agent answers customer questions natively on WhatsApp, free of charge — a solid starting point for any business. Sijima builds on that foundation and adds the commerce layer it does not have: real payments, real stock, hard commercial rules, and a dashboard that shows what sold.
