Also, the application process was time consuming, and not a lot of businesses could afford the exorbitant charges that BSPs were quoting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To counter this, WhatsApp introduced the <strong>WhatsApp cloud API,<\/strong> where the API is hosted on Meta-owned cloud servers instead of the servers provided by the BSP. This makes the <strong>WhatsApp Business Cloud API <\/strong>more cost effective and easier to access for smaller businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was done for a few reasons like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Less resource-intensive: <\/strong>WhatsApp didn\u2019t want to deal with additional resources that oversaw the API Application process.  WhatsApp felt this process was easier if done through a partner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Partner capabilities: <\/strong>&nbsp;Some of the partners that Meta had teamed up with had resources that helped them vet the businesses that had access to the WhatsApp API. This makes the process less cumbersome for WhatsApp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All this changed with the addition of <strong>WhatsApp Cloud API<\/strong>. Now, businesses can get their <strong>WhatsApp Business API<\/strong> accounts directly verified by<a href=\"https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/whatsapp\/cloud-api\/overview#limitations\"> <strong>Facebook <\/strong>for free<\/a>. What this means is that small and medium businesses can easily tailor their customer experiences on top of WhatsApp .  They do not need to pay  BSPs (Business Service Providers) a fixed amount to get access to the WhatsApp Business API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Differences-between-WhatsApp-Cloud-API-and-WhatsApp-on-premises-API\">Differences between Whatsapp on Premises API and Whatsapp Cloud API<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><td><\/td><td><strong>WhatsApp on Premises API<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>WhatsApp Cloud API<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Accessed<\/strong><\/td><td>Can be accessed only after registering with a Business Service Provider.<\/td><td>Can be accessed free from Facebook.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Hosting<\/strong><\/td><td>If you are an individual business owner or a BSP, you need to host the API software on your own servers and in data centres.<\/td><td>Hosting is taken care of by Meta.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Costs<\/strong><\/td><td>BSPs need to bear the cost of setting up and maintaining their servers.

Meta will take responsibility for maintenance, computation, storage, network, and all the other infrastructure-related costs that come with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cloud API service will also allow businesses to send and receive up to 80 messages per second to a bunch of customer numbers. The service allows multiple phone numbers to be registered on the Cloud API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If scaling is your concern, then Cloud API automatically scales to handle your workload, and the security updates are also available automatically on the Cloud API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What has changed is the way your request to access WhatsApp Business API is processed and how fast it is to actually get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will now take you through how to set up the WhatsApp Cloud API&nbsp; so that you can get a first-hand view of how to get up and running with WhatsApp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dashboard.kommunicate.io\/signup?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=tech+blog&amp;utm_id=tech+blog\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1845\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kommunicate.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Healthcare-CTA-1-\u2013-1-1-3.png\" alt=\"&quot;Banner advertising AI Chatbot service with a caption: 'Resolve 80% of your customer queries with AI Chatbot.'

There are two categories of conversations in WhatsApp fall under. They are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>User-initiated:<\/strong> A user-initiated conversation is one where a user messages a business and the business reverts back to the user within 24 hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Business-initiated: <\/strong>&nbsp;Once a business messages a user 24 hours after a user-initiated message, the conversation is termed a business-initiated conversation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Irrespective of a user-initiated conversation or a business-initiated conversation, WhatsApp provides the first 1000 conversations every month for free. Beyond this limit, users must add a credit card to their account to continue using WhatsApp service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if a WhatsApp Business Account has multiple numbers attached to it, the free message limit of 1000 messages still holds, and this free limit is refreshed every month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, WhatsApp will not charge the businesses when the users reach out to a business through the business\u2019s&nbsp; Click- To-Action (CTA) button.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the rates for \u201cCost per Conversation\u201d in USD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Market<\/td><td>Business- initiated Rate<\/td><td>User- initiated Rate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Argentina&nbsp;<\/td><td>$ 0.0526<\/td><td>$ 0.0316&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Colombia&nbsp;<\/td><td>$ 0.0100<\/td><td>$ 0.0060<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Egypt<\/td><td>$ 0.1073<\/td><td>$ 0.0644<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Germany<\/td><td>$ 0.1365<\/td><td>$ 0.0819<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>India<\/td><td>$ 0.0066<\/td><td>$ 0.0040<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>United Arab Emirates<\/td><td>$ 0.0316<\/td><td>$ 0.0190<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>United Kingdom<\/td><td>$ 0.0647<\/td><td>$ 0.0388<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>North America<\/td><td>$ 0.0147<\/td><td>$ 0.0088<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details on pricing, refer to <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/whatsapp\/pricing\">this<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Parting-words\">Parting Words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In simple terms, if you are a small business owner who is now considering using the WhatsApp Business API, then the timing could not have been better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You get access to WhatsApp Cloud API in a matter of minutes, something which businesses struggled for weeks, sometimes months, in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you don\u2019t need to approach a Business Solution Provider who will charge you an additional fee to give you access to the API. We still recommend getting the Facebook Verification done, though, because otherwise, you can\u2019t explore all the exciting possibilities of Cloud API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope we were able to answer your questions related to WhatsApp Cloud API.
