FAQ

Questions pharmacies ask

Can’t find your answer? Email hello@pharmaconnectai.com or message our team on WhatsApp.

Do my customers need to install anything?

No. They use WhatsApp, which they already have. They scan your QR code or tap a link and start chatting.

Does PharmaConnect dispense medicines or give medical advice?

No. PharmaConnect does not dispense, diagnose or give medical advice. It takes the customer’s order or request and passes it to your pharmacy, and your pharmacist decides.

How do prescriptions work?

The customer sends a photo of the prescription on WhatsApp. Your pharmacist reviews it in the portal and decides. PharmaConnect never approves a prescription.

Is PharmaConnect a delivery app or a marketplace?

No. It is your pharmacy’s own WhatsApp assistant. The customer talks to your pharmacy, and the relationship stays with you. If you offer delivery, you use your own delivery arrangements.

Who takes the payment?

Your pharmacy. Customers pay on collection or delivery, or through your own payment provider. PharmaConnect never takes payment.

Is it available in Arabic?

Yes. The whole conversation works in Arabic and English, and customers choose their language.

Is it my WhatsApp number or a shared one?

Either. You can start on the PharmaConnect number, or add your own dedicated number so customers see your pharmacy’s name.

What happens if a customer messages when we are closed?

PharmaConnect takes the order and saves it, and tells the customer when you open and that you will confirm it then. The order is waiting in your portal when you arrive.

How long does setup take?

It depends on your pharmacy. A single pharmacy can start once its products are set up. Groups with integrations, a large catalogue and skin care product details need a planned onboarding, and we agree the timeline with you.

Can customers stop receiving messages?

Yes. Marketing messages are sent only with consent, customers can opt out at any time, and they can decline back-in-stock notices.

What happens to patient data?

It is used only to serve your customers, and each pharmacy sees only its own customers. See Security and privacy, and our privacy policy, for the details.

Which countries do you work in?

PharmaConnect is built for pharmacies in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon. Talk to us about your country.
