What changes when it is e-commerce
A rejected template costs you a week. We write them against the current policy so they clear the first time, and we structure the flows so you stay in the cheaper conversation categories.
In e-commerce, every change must be justified by a controlled experiment against revenue. That single fact reshapes how whatsapp bot development has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.
The workload we are most often asked to take on first is product recommendations, usually integrated against CRM. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Built by engineers who ship production systems, not by a practice that subcontracts the build. You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions from this sector
How quickly can we see conversion impact?
Search and recommendation changes usually show within two to four weeks of experiment traffic, assuming enough volume to reach significance.
Can you fix our catalogue data?
Yes, attribute extraction from images and descriptions, plus deduplication. Catalogue quality quietly limits both search and recommendations.
Do you use the official API?
Always. Unofficial WhatsApp libraries get business numbers banned permanently, and there is no appeal worth relying on. We onboard you properly through the Business API.
How long does onboarding take?
Typically one to two weeks including business verification and display-name approval, assuming your documentation is in order. We handle the submissions.
Can it take payments?
Yes, catalogue, cart and payment collection through supported Indian payment providers, inside the conversation.
