Get a Phone Number for Store Orders and WhatsApp Business

If you are selling through Etsy, eBay, Shopify, Vinted or Facebook Marketplace, the number on your shop profile will be – nearly always – your mobile. It appears on all your listings, packing notes and courier call sheets. A MoreMins number gives your shop it's own number from 0.99 a month, on the phone you already have. If you want a broader overview first, see our virtual number for business page.

Buyers call whenever it is convenient for them, not when it is convenient for you. Someone wants to track down a delivery and calls at ten pm, someone else needs to verify a size on a Sunday morning. With a dedicated shop line you can return those calls when you are back in the office, and friends and family can still reach you on your home number.

Second, your published number can never truly go away. It lives on in the phones of strangers and captured in screenshots forever once it's been published on a listing, invoiced or printed on a packing slip. By publishing a shop number instead you could change, suspend or give up on it at any time, on your own terms.

Deliveries lead to their own calls. Failed drop-offs, pickup points, damaged goods, return requests-couriers and buyers are both grabbing the phone. Incoming calls and SMS are free on all MoreMins numbers, so tracking down a missing parcel doesn't cost any more regardless of who is calling from where.

You also have a clear line for WhatsApp Business. Also incoming SMS is gratis, so you get the verification code straight into the Messages tab of the app and your number remains yours alone it’s neither shared nor resold to anyone else. If you would like the whole setup explained step-by-step, our buy WhatsApp number page takes you through it.

Location is more important to your buyers than most sellers realize. Buyers are much more likely to answer the phone if it comes from a local area code, and if an online listing has a local number they see it as a local store and less as a foreign entity. Buy a UK virtual number, free us number, or choose from more than 50 different countries for no additional cost.

Seasonal selling operates in the identical manner. Black Friday, a Christmas run or a particular product offering can possess a temporary identical, put on that campaign's packing and advertisements and launched whenever that campaign is concluded. The numbers you do not renew are relinquished after 30 days, and your own daily number is perhaps not involved.

Purchasing a second one is quick. Visit the MoreMins e-shop, select the country your potential customers are in, input the code buy1get1 and you will get a second number for free for 30 days - most shops put WhatsApp Business on it. Install the MoreMins app for Android or iPhone and both numbers will be on your mobile next to your private number. No post on arrival and no SIM slot is used.
