# Carousel Cards

### **What Are Carousel Interactive Templates?**

Carousel Card templates on Mercuri allow brands to send **swipeable cards** inside a single WhatsApp message. Each card can include an **image or video**, a **short description**, and a **CTA button** with its own URL.

This format is ideal for showcasing multiple products, plans, or options in an engaging, visual layout—helping users explore and take action without leaving WhatsApp.

**Typical use cases include:**

* **Product listings** (e.g., variants, bestsellers, new arrivals)
* **Course bundles** (EdTech)
* **Plan comparison** (SaaS)
* **Travel packages**, **hotel rooms**, **property listings**
* **Event or session schedules**

#### **Use Case: EdTech – Promoting Online Courses**
