What Zoko does

Zoko is an all-in-one WhatsApp platform for Shopify merchants. It is designed to help stores use a single WhatsApp number for sales, marketing, and customer support instead of treating chat as a separate channel.

The product centers on three main jobs: helping shoppers discover products in WhatsApp, automating repetitive commerce workflows, and handling customer conversations at scale. The site also positions Zoko as an official Meta Business partner and says it supports Shopify store catalog sync, broadcasts, support workflows, and multi-agent collaboration.

Pricing is presented as subscription-based with a 7-day free trial, monthly or yearly billing, and fair-use limits. The pricing page also notes that messages and flows continue even if fair-use limits are exceeded, with excess charges applied at the published rates.
