What you get on the official API
This is the full official WhatsApp Business API stack — not a stripped-down sandbox and not a subset held back for a higher tier. Everything below is live from your first day on a paid plan, running on the real API through WatEase as your Meta Tech Provider.
Official Business API access
You run on the real WhatsApp Business API through WatEase, a Meta Tech Provider — not a sandbox or an unofficial automation workaround that puts your number at risk.
Green-tick-eligible number
Connect a number that qualifies to apply for the official WhatsApp Business verification badge. The green tick is granted by Meta; WatEase gets your number onto the API so it is eligible.
Broadcasts past the App cap
Send template broadcasts to opted-in audiences well beyond the 256-contact limit of the free WhatsApp App — the reason most businesses move to the Business API in the first place.
Multi-channel shared inbox
A team inbox for WhatsApp and your other channels — assign, reply and hand off conversations so a real person can take over any chat at any moment.
In-chat UPI checkout + GST invoicing
Collect payments inside the WhatsApp thread with UPI (Razorpay / PhonePe / Paytm) and raise a GST-compliant invoice — so a conversation ends in a real, paid order.
AI answers & order-taking
AI that reads inbound messages, answers from your catalog, and takes orders end-to-end — available today on paid plans, no waiting list.

What it costs, in full
Billing is monthly or annual with no free-forever tier; the contract term and cancellation depend on your agreement and compliance requirements. Pricing is on request: the WatEase team quotes a plan and price customised to your use case and requirements, whether you need the full commerce and messaging stack, the richer AI or enterprise controls, sized to your seats, message volume and modules. Meta message charges always pass through at 0% markup — while many competitors add 20–25% on top of Meta's rates. Use the free conversation cost calculator to estimate your monthly Meta bill in INR alongside the subscription, and request pricing to have the platform fee quoted for your business.

Sign up, connect a green-tick-eligible number through WatEase as your Meta Tech Provider, and start sending on the real WhatsApp Business API — broadcasts, inbox, UPI checkout and AI included on every plan. A specialist does the setup with you, at no extra cost.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free trial of the WhatsApp Business API?
Meta does not offer a free trial of the WhatsApp Business API itself — it bills per message from the first message, whichever provider you go through. Some Business Solution Providers waive their own subscription for a window and call that a free trial; the Meta charges still apply. WatEase does not run a time-boxed trial: plans are paid monthly or annually and priced on request (every business gets a plan and price customised to its use case and requirements, quoted by the WatEase team), guided onboarding is included at no setup fee, and Meta message charges pass through at 0% markup.
Do I need a credit card to get on the WhatsApp Business API?
You need a payment method to start a paid plan, because WatEase does not run a free trial. What you do not pay is a setup fee: onboarding a green-tick-eligible number through WatEase as your Meta Tech Provider, submitting your templates to Meta, and importing your catalog and contacts are all included on every plan. If you want to see the stack working before you pay, book a live demo and we will run it against your own products.
What am I committed to, and can I cancel?
Billing is monthly or annual with no free-forever tier; the contract term and cancellation depend on your agreement and compliance requirements. Pricing is on request: the WatEase team quotes a plan and price customised to your use case and requirements, whether you need the full commerce and messaging stack, the richer AI or enterprise controls, sized to your seats, message volume and modules. Meta message charges always pass through at 0% markup, while many competitors add 20–25% on top of Meta's rates — which costs far more over a year than any trial saves in a fortnight.
Can I get a green tick on my WhatsApp Business number?
The number you connect through WatEase is green-tick-eligible — the green tick (the official WhatsApp Business Account verification badge) is granted by Meta, not by WatEase, and depends on your brand meeting Meta's criteria. WatEase, a Meta Tech Provider, runs you on the official Business API so your number qualifies to apply; we get you set up and sending while that application is in motion.
Is WatEase a Meta-approved BSP?
No. WatEase is a Meta Tech Provider rather than a Business Solution Provider (BSP), and your account runs on the official WhatsApp Business API all the same — not an unofficial workaround or a scraped-automation tool that risks your number. Your business connects its own WhatsApp Business Account through Meta's Embedded Signup. That means green-tick-eligible numbers, official message templates, and Meta message pricing passed through at cost. Our databases, files and backups are hosted in India and the platform is DPDPA-2023 aligned.
How much does the WhatsApp Business API cost through WatEase?
WatEase pricing is on request: every business gets a plan and price customised to its use case and requirements, from the full commerce plus messaging stack to the richer AI and enterprise controls, quoted to your seats, message volume and modules, always with 0% markup on WhatsApp messages — Meta message charges are passed through at cost while many competitors add 20–25%. Request pricing from the WatEase team, see the pricing page for what the platform includes, and use the free conversation cost calculator to estimate your monthly Meta bill in INR.
