Why Claude for this
The difference between a WhatsApp broadcast and a WhatsApp business is whether the conversation can complete a transaction. We build the catalogue, cart and payment path, not just the messaging.
Claude is strongest at sustained reasoning over long documents, careful tool use, and a low rate of confident errors. For whatsapp bot development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: for very high-volume classification or extraction, a smaller model is cheaper at indistinguishable quality. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
Six weeks to something running in production, not six quarters to a strategy document.

Questions
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.
Alternatives for whatsapp bot development
