Single-Product Message Templates

SPM templates are marketing templates that allow you to present a single product from your connected ecommerce catalog, accompanied by a product image, product title, and product price (all pulled from your product within your catalog), along with customizable body text, optional footer text, and an interactive View button.

Users can tap the button to see details about the product, and can add or remove the product from the WhatsApp shopping cart.

If the user adds the product to the carts and submits an order, you will be notified via webhook and the user will see that an order has been placed:

Users who place an order are also able to use the View details button to see information about the order:

Limitations

• Customers must be using WhatsApp v2.22.24 or greater.

• Message forwarding is disabled for SPM templates.

• SPM templates are only available to Cloud API.

Catalogs

To use SPM buttons, SPM Templates or Product card carousel templates, you must have an ecommerce product catalog, with inventory, connected to your WhatsApp Business Account.

Webhooks

If you send templates that use a View button, when a customer adds one or more products to their cart and submits an order, you will receive a webhook that describes the order.
