How do I use Viber to take orders (if you are selling items) or place orders (if you are a buyer)?
Any shop created on CoShopNow.com can be viewed on Viber through a Viber bot created by CoShopNow in addition to the shop's presence on a web page, and buyers can place orders by clicking buttons on the Viber bot. This means that each coshop can have both a web version, and a Viber bot version.
A seller (or coshop organizer) can obtain a link from CoShopNow, and paste it on the seller's marketing material online. Buyers with Viber app on their Android device can click the link and see the products offered by the seller, and order by clicking buttons provided by the Viber bot.
Below is a screenshot of products of a coshop being shown on Viber. The buyer can click to see details of the item, or scroll right to see other items, and click to put an item in the shopping cart.

For buyers with iPhones, they should be given the link to the webpage of the coshop. There, they can order from the coshop, or click a button to open the Viber bot.
