This is true in Ecuador as well. I was shocked.

This process was turbocharged by COVID19

Most unemoloyed people with no steady income turned to last-mile delivery of all kinds of random goods and services... All done via whatsapp

Its frictionless. Like a website chatbot. Except its free and you can do it on the move.

I dont think it will take off here becuase businesses here have built web infrastructure for e-commerce.

Whatsapp is to ecommerce what smartphones where to connectivity.

3rd world countries skipped fixed wires and laptops and went straight to smartphones over air

This is the same process.
