Meta Messaging Fees
These are the fees charged by Meta directly. This is a per-message charge (24-hour window), and not per message sent. Within an open conversation window, the business and user can exchange messages without additional per-message charges.

Marketing
Drive Revenue with High-Converting Campaigns. Transform how you engage customers by sending personalized promotions directly to their WhatsApp. Unlike email, WhatsApp Marketing Messages capture immediate attention on the lock screen, making them a powerful tool for boosting ROI and driving repeat purchases. Use these rich-media templates to announce flash sales, launch new products, or send automated back-in-stock alerts that convert browsers into buyers. With built-in optimization tools, you can ensure your offers reach the right people at the right time, maximizing engagement for every campaign you run.
Best Use Cases

Automate Essential Order Updates. Build lasting trust by keeping your customers informed after they click buy. WhatsApp Utility Messages are designed for critical, non-promotional updates that your customers actually want to receive. Automatically send order confirmations, shipping tracking numbers, and appointment reminders instantly. By delivering these transactional notifications through a trusted channel, you reduce support tickets and provide the transparent, seamless post-purchase experience that modern shoppers expect.

Provide Real-Time Human Support. Turn customer service into a competitive advantage.

This one-to-one interaction builds stronger relationships, resolves complaints faster, and improves customer satisfaction by offering a human touch when it matters most.
