How to top-up WATI credits?

Your WATI account is a pre-paid model.

This means you will need to top-up credits in your account to send messages.

Why this change

Facebook has implemented a new conversation-based pricing model for all businesses globally sending WhatsApp messages. This new pricing model went into effect in February 2022, and move from a per template/session charge to a complete conversation-based model.

As a result of this, WATI will comply with the changes in the pricing model. Check out this article to learn more!

Free Tier Conversations

Your first 1,000 conversations each month will be free, so your business can start to build experiences your customers will love before having to pay. Each phone number gets 1,000 free tier conversations. Free-tier conversations can be only user-initiated conversations also called service-initiated conversations.

Why do I receive a pop-up in my WATI account to top-up credits?

If your account has less than $10 USD in credits and the accoun has been created for more than a week; you will receive a prompt to top up. Remember to top up before 3 days' time. Otherwise, your account will be temporarily suspended until you top up again and have a credit balance of more than $10.
