WhatsApp Business API for US businesses.

Support customers, send order and appointment updates, and reach international buyers on WhatsApp — with a shared team inbox, no-code chatbots and Meta’s official rates with 0% markup.

Important for US numbersSince 1 April 2025, Meta has paused delivery of marketing template messages to WhatsApp users with US (+1) phone numbers, and as of late 2026 no restart date has been announced. Utility, authentication and customer-service messages to US numbers still work, and US businesses can still send marketing templates to customers in other countries.

US questions

Also see India, the UAE and the UK.

Can I send WhatsApp marketing messages to US numbers?

Not at the moment. Meta paused marketing template messages to US (+1) WhatsApp numbers from 1 April 2025 and had not announced a restart date as of late 2026. You can still send utility, authentication and service messages to US customers.

Can a US company use WhatsApp to market to customers abroad?

Yes. The pause applies to recipients with US numbers. A US business can send approved marketing templates to opted-in customers in other countries, charged at each country’s rate.

What counts as a utility message?

A message triggered by something the customer did or agreed to — like an order confirmation, shipping update, appointment reminder or account alert — with no promotional content. Meta reviews each template’s category.

Is WhatApsi based in the US?

No. WhatApsi is built by Acryonix in Ahmedabad, India, and serves US businesses remotely, with onboarding over video call and WhatsApp.
