Claim this listing →Shortlist Behaf if you are a one to three person brand selling physical products through Instagram and WhatsApp DMs and you would rather pay a cut of each shipped order than a monthly plan plus WhatsApp message charges. Before you sign up, ask Behaf for its registered company name and GSTIN, because the site publishes neither, and you will want a proper tax invoice for its fee and clarity on who deducts GST TCS and income-tax TDS from your payouts (the seller app's code includes a TCS and TDS statement page that the pricing page never mentions).
Also accept that your store runs on Behaf's shared number, so buyers see Behaf in the chat header and you cannot carry that thread or number elsewhere if you leave, even though the customer list is exportable. The fee is charged on returned and undelivered orders too, so a category with high RTO pays it on parcels that never earn. Against a monthly WhatsApp API tool like WATI or Interakt, Behaf is cheaper at low order volumes and bundles payments and courier booking, but at high order values a percentage fee overtakes a flat plan, and by default you sell on Behaf's number rather than your own, with an own-number setup only on request.

In short
Behaf is listed under WhatsApp Business, reviewed for Indian buyers. FindThatSoftware rates it best for instagram-first D2C brands of one to three people taking orders in DMs today; a poor fit for brands that need their own WhatsApp number and green tick from day one.

Audit your spendBehaf is a Chennai-based startup, started in February 2026 and run by co-founder and CEO Jerish Jacob, that hosts a brand's storefront inside WhatsApp on Behaf's own verified business number. Its AI salesperson, Aria, answers buyers in English, Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil and other Indian languages, recommends sizes and add-ons, and offers a discount only after a price objection and only within the limit the seller sets. The vendor says buyers pay by UPI or card through a PayU link in the chat or, where the seller turns it on, pick cash on delivery, which Aria confirms on WhatsApp before dispatch, and the pickup is then booked on the seller's own Shiprocket account. Sellers upload products by hand, by CSV or from Shopify or Instagram, see every chat in a web dashboard, and receive prepaid payouts 7 days after each order minus the fee. Buyers see Behaf, not the brand, in the WhatsApp chat header, and the terms describe the product as an invite-only beta for businesses that ship physical goods within India.

Whether Behaf issues an India GST invoice is not verified yet. Foreign-billed tools usually don't, in which case a registered business reclaims GST via reverse charge; confirm the vendor's billing before you buy.
Behaf is worth evaluating for Indian buyers, but the final fit depends on pricing limits, support, integrations, and setup effort.
Behaf does not list a permanent free plan in FindThatSoftware data. Check the official pricing page for trial terms and current offers.
