What is the WhatsApp Business API?
The WhatsApp Business API (also called the WhatsApp Business Platform) is Meta's official way for businesses to send and receive WhatsApp messages programmatically — through software, at scale, with multiple agents — rather than from a phone. There's no app to install: your systems talk to the API, and customers simply see your verified business in their normal WhatsApp.
Two message types make it work. Template messages are pre-approved formats that let you start conversations — order updates, OTPs, reminders. Session messages are free-form replies inside the 24-hour window that opens whenever a customer writes to you, which is where support conversations, chatbots and sales chats live.
For Indian businesses WhatsApp is not one channel among many — it's where customers already are. Read rates dwarf email, and two-way chat turns notifications into conversations that close sales. The API is the only compliant way to run that at business scale.
App vs API
WhatsApp Business App vs API — what's the difference?
The free Business App works for one person on one phone. The API is how brands run WhatsApp at scale — multi-agent, automated and integrated with your systems.
| Business App (free) | Business API | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Solo sellers & micro businesses | Teams, brands and platforms |
| Users & devices | One number, up to 5 devices | Unlimited agents via your tools |
| Automation | Greeting & away messages only | Full chatbot and workflow automation |
| Broadcasts | 256 contacts per list | Unlimited opted-in template sends |
| Integration | None | REST API, webhooks, CRM connectors |
| Green tick verification | Not available | Available for eligible brands |

FAQ
WhatsApp API questions, answered
Verification, templates, pricing and what's actually allowed at scale.
What's the difference between the WhatsApp Business App and the API?
The free Business App is a phone app for one person. The API has no app or phone — it connects WhatsApp to your software and support tools, supports unlimited agents and full automation, enables large opted-in broadcasts, and is the only path to green-tick verification.
How do I get the green tick?
The green tick (Official Business Account) is granted by Meta to notable, verified brands on the API. We submit the application with your business verification; approval depends on Meta's notability criteria — being on the API is a prerequisite.
What are template messages?
Pre-approved message formats (with variables) that let you message customers outside the 24-hour service window — order updates, reminders, OTPs. We help you write templates that pass Meta review the first time.
What does the WhatsApp Business API cost?
Meta charges per 24-hour conversation, with different rates for marketing, utility, authentication and service categories in India, plus our platform fee — all billed together in ₹ with GST invoices. Talk to sales for current rates at your volumes.
Can I send bulk WhatsApp messages legally?
Yes — to opted-in recipients, using approved templates, on the official API. Bulk sending through unofficial tools violates WhatsApp's terms and gets numbers banned; the API route is the one that scales safely.
How long does onboarding take?
Typically under a week end to end: account setup is same-day, Meta business verification takes a few business days, and template approvals usually clear within 24 hours. We've done this hundreds of times — we'll keep it moving.
What are the opt-in rules for WhatsApp?
Customers must agree to receive WhatsApp messages from you before you initiate a conversation — via a website checkbox, an SMS keyword, an in-store form or in-chat consent. We help you design compliant opt-in flows; it protects your sender quality rating as much as it satisfies Meta's policy.
What is the quality rating and why does it matter?
Meta scores every business number on how recipients react — blocks and reports lower it. A low rating throttles how many new conversations you can start per day. Good opt-ins, useful templates and prompt replies keep it green; our dashboard surfaces the rating so you never discover a problem after a campaign.
