1. Choose evidence for the enquiry
A painter replying to a kitchen-refinishing request should lead with finished cabinets and close-up paint details, not every exterior job. Pick work you own or have permission to publish.
Portfolio Store · Share work in a conversation
Share your portfolio on WhatsApp with one clear link
When someone asks “Can I see your work?” in a WhatsApp chat, send a portfolio address they can open on their phone. Instead of a stream of disconnected photos, give them a focused collection of projects and a short explanation of why those examples matter.
The portfolio is the destination. WhatsApp is the delivery channel.
Portfolio Store publishes a public visual portfolio. You copy its address and paste it into a WhatsApp conversation yourself. There is no special WhatsApp connection, automatic messaging, contact sync or built-in campaign sender.
Five steps from your work to a useful message
2. Create a small project portfolio
Upload the relevant images to Portfolio Store and check the published presentation. The current Free plan supports one project and five images; paid plans provide larger allowances. See plans and limits.
3. Copy the published address
Use the public URL of your portfolio. A custom domain is optional on eligible paid plans; you do not need to buy a domain to share your work. Check the actual published address before sending it.
4. Add one sentence of context
Tell the recipient what to look at and why it matches their request. Avoid a bare link or a long sales pitch. Ask a concrete follow-up question rather than assuming a portfolio is a quote.
5. Test on a phone and send
Open the URL in a normal mobile browser, ideally outside your signed-in account. Check the images, readability and any sensitive details. Then paste the link into the existing WhatsApp chat.
Messages you can adapt to the conversation
These are illustrative messages to write yourself, not messages sent automatically by Portfolio Store. Replace the placeholder with your own published URL.
For a local contractor
“Thanks for asking about the shelving. Here are examples of fitted storage I have completed, including a narrow alcove similar to yours: [your portfolio link]. Would you like to discuss measurements?”
For a hair or beauty professional
“Here are a few finished styles close to the look you mentioned: [your portfolio link]. Let me know which result is closest to what you have in mind.”
For a creative freelancer
“Here is a selection of recent product visuals relevant to your brief: [your portfolio link]. I can explain the scope of each example before we discuss your project.”
Keep it permission-based: do not post identifiable customers, private interiors, client addresses or confidential project material without authorization. A public portfolio URL is not a private gallery or access-controlled document room.
Existing Portfolio Store demonstration

This is an existing demonstration portfolio, not a real customer testimonial. A prospective client can open a published portfolio in a browser after receiving its link.
Before you press send: a quick check
- Make sure the first visible project relates to the recipient's question.
- Check that every image is yours to publish and shows the work accurately.
- Open the public link on a phone, not just inside the editor.
- Write a short message explaining the connection between the portfolio and the enquiry.
- Keep availability, pricing, terms and estimates in a separate conversation or document.
- Revisit the published link after making edits; the live portfolio can reflect later published changes.
Sending a portfolio URL does not guarantee that WhatsApp generates a rich preview card. Link previews depend on the messaging app, its settings and how the URL is fetched. The link itself is the reliable handoff.
Frequently asked questions
Can I share a Portfolio Store link in WhatsApp?
Yes. Copy your published public portfolio URL and paste it into a chat. The recipient opens the link in a browser; no special Portfolio Store–WhatsApp integration is required.
Will Portfolio Store send WhatsApp messages for me?
No. You send the link yourself through WhatsApp. This page does not describe an automated sender, a WhatsApp Business integration or a contact-import feature.
Do my clients need Portfolio Store accounts?
No account is required simply to view a published public portfolio link. Check your portfolio's visibility settings before sharing.
Can I send my portfolio without paying?
You can begin with the Free plan's one project and five images and share the published URL. Larger portfolios and some additional features require a paid plan.
Will the link change when I add work?
A live portfolio URL can continue to show your later published updates. Review the public page after editing so you know what the recipient will see.
Should I send photos separately as well?
For one specific detail, an individual image can help. For several jobs or styles, a curated portfolio link is easier to revisit and can give the work more context.
