Frequently Asked Questions
What does WhatsApp require for valid opt-in?
WhatsApp requires explicit, informed consent before sending business-initiated messages. Users must actively opt in (not pre-checked boxes), understand what messages they will receive, and have a clear way to opt out. You must maintain records of consent.
Do I need separate opt-in for marketing vs. transactional messages?
WhatsApp recommends obtaining category-specific consent. Users who opted in for order updates may not expect marketing messages. Best practice is to clearly state the types of messages during opt-in and allow granular preferences.
How do I handle opt-outs on WhatsApp?
Include an opt-out option in every marketing message (e.g., 'Reply STOP to unsubscribe'). Process opt-outs within 24 hours and maintain a suppression list. SuperWaba automates opt-out handling and syncs suppression lists across campaigns.
