Do I need the WhatsApp Business API?
Yes, and we set it up with you. WhatsCommerce runs on the official WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API). You connect your own business number from the setup wizard in a few minutes, and messages are sent from it.
Is there a monthly fee?
No. You add money to a prepaid balance (from ₹200) and pay only for what you use: templates and broadcasts by Meta's message category, and AI by the tokens it uses. Replies inside the 24-hour window are free. When our website builder launches, publishing a site will be the only subscription.
Can I message customers who haven't messaged me?
Only with templates approved by WhatsApp, and only to customers who agreed to hear from you. Customers who reply STOP are opted out automatically, which keeps your number’s quality rating healthy.
Can my team use it on their phones?
Yes. WhatsCommerce installs as an app on Android and iPhone, with notifications for new chats, and your whole team shares one inbox with assignment and notes.
Can the AI answer my customers?
Yes, if you turn it on. It answers from your catalog, orders, store policies and the FAQs and documents you add, and hands the chat to your team when it isn’t sure or the customer asks for a person. You can use our AI or your own key.
Can I send invoices from my own website or billing software?
Yes. Create an API key and call the order confirmation API. We create a GST invoice PDF, or deliver the PDF your system already makes, through your approved WhatsApp template.
Where is my data stored and who can see it?
Each business’s data is kept separate and only its team can see it, with roles for admins, managers and agents. WhatsApp access tokens are encrypted and API keys are stored hashed. See our privacy policy for details.
