Can logistics & shipping companies use WhatsApp Business API to send these templates?
Yes. logistics & shipping companies of every size — from solo founders to enterprise teams — can apply for the WhatsApp Business API through an Official Meta Tech Partner like LandinChat. Once your number is approved you can send template messages (marketing, utility, authentication) to opted-in customers at scale.
Do template messages for logistics & shipping companies need approval from Meta?
Every template that initiates a conversation outside the 24-hour service window must be pre-approved by Meta. Approval typically takes a few minutes to a few hours. Inside the 24-hour window you can reply with free-form messages without approval.
How much does it cost a logistics company to send WhatsApp messages?
Meta charges a per-conversation rate that depends on your country and the conversation category (marketing, utility, authentication, service). LandinChat passes through Meta's rate at cost — see the pricing page for the full breakdown.
What kind of WhatsApp message templates work best for logistics & shipping companies?
Short, action-oriented messages with one clear CTA convert best. Use the customer's first name, keep the body under 4 lines, include a single button (View, Pay, Confirm, Reply), and pair marketing broadcasts with utility messages so you build a healthy quality rating.
Can WhatsApp send the delivery OTP and confirm proof of delivery?
Yes — the OTP fires when the agent reaches the address, and the customer can share a photo or sign-back confirmation in the same chat. The audit log is stored against the AWB.
