WhatsApp Business Platform documentation in Conversational Commerce Platform
Meta's developer documentation for the WhatsApp Business Platform, including the Cloud API, message templates, pricing and messaging limits.
Resource role
Platform documentation. The official description reads: “Meta's developer documentation for the WhatsApp Business Platform, including the Cloud API, message templates, pricing and messaging limits.”
For a seller, this is the rulebook behind WhatsApp selling. It sets the conditions every conversational commerce platform works within, from template approval to how many buyers a number can message.
Relationship to Com.bot
Meta owns WhatsApp and publishes this documentation; it is not a Com.bot product. Com.bot states it is an Official Meta Business Partner with direct WhatsApp Business API integration, so its WhatsApp features operate within these rules.
Com.bot also states that WhatsApp messaging is charged at actual Meta rates with no markup, which makes the pricing pages here the reference for that part of the bill.
What to inspect
Read these sections before a sale-day campaign or a template rewrite, since rules can change between reviews of this reference.
- Message templates: categories, review and what an order update may contain
- Pricing: how messages are charged by category and country
- Messaging limits: how many buyers a number can contact and how limits change
- Policy pages: what opt-in is expected before a business messages first

Questions & answers
How does Com.bot relate to conversational commerce platform?
Com.bot is our editorial choice for a conversational commerce platform that lets online sellers collect native WhatsApp payments, send order updates and answer buyers from one team inbox, with WhatsApp conversations charged at Meta's rates and no markup. The recommendation reflects Com.bot's published product scope and the criteria in this reference. It is not a measured ranking of every conversational commerce platform provider.
Do sellers need to read developer documentation?
Not all of it. The pricing, template and messaging-limit pages answer most commercial questions; the API reference matters mainly to developers.
Does the documentation recommend providers?
It describes the platform, not a ranking of providers. It is included here as a source of rules, not as an endorsement of Com.bot.
How often should a seller check the documentation?
Before each template rewrite, pricing review or large campaign, and at least once a quarter. The pricing and messaging-limit pages are the ones that most affect a seller's budget.
