Funds
To maintain uninterrupted message delivery on the WhatsApp Business Platform, each registered phone number must maintain a positive 360Dialog credit balance.
The credit balance functions as a prepaid wallet used to pay for WhatsApp messaging usage. Messaging costs are deducted directly from the balance as messages are delivered.
If the balance reaches zero, outbound messaging is paused until additional funds are added.
System Behavior
Positive Balance
Messaging continues normally with costs deducted in real time
Zero Balance
Outbound messaging stops until a payment is processed
Negative Balance
The system may trigger an automatic top-up to prevent account suspension
Auto-Renewal
Auto-Renewal is a 24/7 monitoring feature designed to prevent service suspensions by automatically adding funds before the balance is exhausted.
When enabled:
The system continuously monitors the credit balance
Once the threshold is reached, the configured top-up amount is charged to the payment method saved to the 360Dialog Hub
Funds are added to the balance immediately
This helps prevent service interruptions caused by insufficient balance.
Configure Auto-Renewal
Navigate to Manage Funds
Toggle Enable Auto-Renewal
Define the Threshold and Top-Up Amount
Save the settings to ensure 24/7 service protection
Description

Emergency Top-Up
