1. WhatsApp messages pricing
As of 1 June 2023, the new pricing for WhatsApp conversation will be implemented
The charging methods for WhatsApp can be divided into “Customer-initiated conversation” and “Store-initiated conversation.” Both have a 24-hour conversation time limit.
A. Customer-initiated conversation
WhatsApp provides a monthly quota of 1,000 free conversations for customers to send messages to the store. Extra charges will be incurred if the quota limit is exceeded.
B. Store-initiated conversation
The quota of 1,000 free conversations does NOT apply to conversations initiated by merchants. Each conversation will be billed based on the type of conversation initiated, including:
- Marketing promotion message
- Customer service message
- Authentication message (sending from the SHOPLINE Admin is currently unsupported)
*Note:
- SHOPLINE bills in USD. The final amount is subject to the converted amount from USD to the store's currency.
- For more details about conversation-based pricing, please refer to About billing for your WhatsApp Business account and Conversation-Based Pricing.
The pricing is as follows:
