WhatsApp Business API is powerful, but Meta bans numbers that send spam or break the rules. If you connect Shopify to WhatsApp, follow these guidelines to keep your number safe and your messages delivered.
Get opt-in before you message
Only message people who gave you permission. Add a WhatsApp opt-in checkbox at Shopify checkout, on your product page, or in your email footer.
Use approved message templates
For outbound messages, Meta requires templates for most cases. Do not try to send promotional messages outside the 24-hour customer service window without an approved template.
Do not over-message
More messages do not mean more sales. Send the right message at the right time. Abandoned cart, order confirmation, shipping update, and one follow-up are usually enough.
Make it easy to opt out
Include a clear way to stop messages. A simple ‘Reply STOP’ instruction builds trust and keeps your block rate low.
Keep your account verified
Use a real business name, a working website, and accurate contact details. A verified business profile looks legitimate and reduces reports.
Watch your quality rating
Meta shows a quality rating in Business Manager. If it drops, pause broadcasts and fix the issue before you lose the number.
