Quick Summary

Export your WhatsApp Business conversations and customer chats to professional PDF documents. Essential for business records, customer service documentation, and compliance requirements.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Open WhatsApp Business App

Launch WhatsApp Business on your smartphone (available for Android and iOS).

WhatsApp Business has the same export functionality as regular WhatsApp, with additional business context preserved.

2

Navigate to Business Chat

Open the customer conversation or business chat you want to export to PDF.

Labels, quick replies, and business catalog references are included in the export for context.

3

Access Export Function

Tap the three-dot menu (Android) or contact name (iOS), then select 'More' and 'Export chat'.

The export process is identical to regular WhatsApp but preserves business-specific metadata.

4

Choose Export Options

Select whether to include media (product images, receipts, documents) or export text only.

For business documentation, including media is recommended to preserve complete transaction records.

5

Save Business Chat Export

Save to cloud storage (Google Drive, iCloud), email to your business email, or save to device.

For business records, saving to company cloud storage ensures proper backup and access.

6

Upload to ChatToPDF

Visit chattopdf.app and upload your WhatsApp Business export file for professional PDF conversion.

Our business-tier formatting is specifically designed for WhatsApp Business exports with professional styling.

7

Select Business Tier

Choose a pricing plan that matches your business needs (Standard, Complete, or Professional for bulk processing).

Professional tier includes priority processing, batch capabilities, and dedicated support for businesses.

8

Receive Professional PDF

Get your formatted PDF via email, ready for business records, customer service, or professional documentation.

PDFs include proper timestamps, business name, and professional formatting suitable for business use.

Common Issues

Business labels and tags not showing in export

WhatsApp Business labels are metadata and don't appear in the raw export file. However, ChatToPDF can be configured to display business context if provided. Contact support for business formatting options.

Catalog items and product links missing

WhatsApp exports include text references to catalog items but not the actual product details. Product images shared in chat are included if you export with media. Consider exporting your catalog separately.

Multiple business chat exports are disorganized

Use our Professional tier batch processing to upload multiple customer chats simultaneously. We'll organize them by customer name and date automatically for easy business record-keeping.

Can't separate personal and business chats

WhatsApp Business and personal WhatsApp are separate apps. Exports only include chats from the specific app you're exporting from. If using WhatsApp Business API, contact support for API export options.

Best Practices

  • Export important customer conversations regularly for business records
  • Use labels before exporting to help identify conversation context
  • Include media in exports for complete transaction documentation
  • Save exports to business cloud storage for team access and compliance
  • Export monthly for active customers to maintain complete communication history
  • Use Professional tier batch processing for multiple customer exports
  • Keep exported PDFs organized by customer name and date for easy retrieval
  • Ensure exports comply with data privacy regulations (GDPR, CCPA)
  • Document the export process in your business standard operating procedures

Limitations to Be Aware Of

Same Message Limits as Regular WhatsApp

WhatsApp Business has the same export limits: 40,000 messages (text only) or 10,000 messages (with media). This may be restrictive for long-term customer relationships.

Business Metadata Not Fully Exported

Custom labels, tags, and some business-specific features aren't included in standard exports. Only chat messages and shared media are exported.

API Limitations

WhatsApp Business API has different export mechanisms. Standard ChatToPDF process works with WhatsApp Business app exports, not API exports.

Multi-Agent Context

If multiple team members handle a customer, the export only shows messages from your device. Team collaboration context may be incomplete.
