After restricting the ability to pay for foreign services from the Russian Federation, we received a lot of requests from clients experiencing difficulties with payments for WABA traffic to the provider.Many aggregators have organized a payment method through their acquiring with a commission of 20%. We chose a different path, analyzing the volume of customer traffic, taking into account the interests of the majority.

From June 7, the cost of WhatsApp Business API integration is RUB 5,000. per month. The amount includes 1000 dialogues.

This is the minimum price on the market, under equal conditions. No additional commissions are charged, message traffic within dialogues is not charged.

If a company does not meet 1000 dialogues per month, they can always be purchased in addition. Price – 1000 rub. for 150 additional dialogues.

For convenience, we recommend enabling automatic payment. When the message limit is used up, payment for the next batch of dialogues will be deducted automatically; you don’t have to waste time on this.

Benefit:
✔️ You can pay in rubles, you are spared the difficulties of currency control, and do not lose on exchange rate differences;
✔️ No hidden fees or commissions;
✔️ No need to open accounts in foreign banks;
✔️ Saving on message traffic within the dialogue.
