Session & Pricing Reporting for WhatsApp
Updated
Businesses using the WhatsApp Business Platform are charged per conversation, which includes all messages delivered in a 24-hour session.
How It Works
Conversations are categorized into one of the following categories:
Marketing — Marketing conversations include promotions or offers, informational updates, or invitations for customers to respond or take action.
Utility — Utility conversations facilitate a specific, agreed-upon request or transaction, or update a customer about an ongoing transaction. These may include transaction confirmations, transaction updates, and/or post-purchase notifications.
Authentication — Authentication conversations enable you to authenticate users with one-time passcodes, potentially at multiple steps in the login process (e.g., account verification, account recovery, integrity challenges).
Service — Service conversations help you resolve customer inquiries.
All conversations, with the exception of free entry point conversations, are measured in fixed 24-hour sessions. A conversation starts when the first business message in a conversation is delivered, either initiated by the business or in reply to a user message. Businesses and users can exchange any number of messages, including template messages, within a 24 hour conversation session without incurring additional charges.
Charges for conversations are based on the user’s country code. A user here is defined as the customer that your business is communicating with. Rates for business-initiated and user-initiated conversations vary by country or region. You can check this link to view the rate cards
