Frequently Asked Questions

What is a conversation in WhatsApp API?

A conversation is a 24-hour messaging window between your business and a customer. It starts when you send the first message (business-initiated) or when a customer messages you (customer-initiated).

Why are service conversations free?

Service conversations are customer-initiated. WhatsApp encourages businesses to respond to customer inquiries, so the first 24 hours of messaging after a customer contacts you is free.

Are these prices official?

Yes, these prices are based on official WhatsApp Business API pricing from Meta. However, pricing may change, and additional platform fees from BSPs (Business Solution Providers) may apply.

How can I reduce my WhatsApp API costs?

Focus on customer-initiated conversations, use utility messages for transactional updates, consolidate messages, and target specific customer segments to reduce unnecessary sends.
