WATI’s Renewal Guidelines

  • WATI operates on a subscription-based model, offering both monthly and annual plans.

  • Your subscription automatically renews based on the plan you’ve chosen, ensuring uninterrupted service and access to all WATI features.

  • Unless you choose to cancel or make changes to your subscription, no action is required on your part.

  • Before your renewal date, you’ll receive a notification about the upcoming charge. To avoid any disruptions, ensure your payment method is up-to-date and has sufficient funds.

What Happens if Your Subscription Renewal Fails?

If the renewal payment fails due to issues like an expired payment method or insufficient funds, your WATI account may be disabled. This will result in the loss of access to features such as:

  • Chatbots

  • Templates

  • Saved contacts

To restore your account, you’ll need to resolve the payment issue promptly.

  • Check Your Payment Method: Confirm that the payment method linked to your account has sufficient funds or credit to cover the renewal.

  • Update Payment Information: If your payment method is expired or incorrect, update it promptly through your Billing Portal.

What to Do If Your Account is Disabled?

If your account has been disabled due to a failed renewal, here’s how you can resolve the issue:
