No, there is no such feature.
WhatsApp Business API supports location sharing, but real-time location sharing is currently unsupported and will result in “Message type is unsupported”.
Our servers are working only in HTTP SSL connection on port 443 (standard for HTTPS).
No, that is not possible. Since the API system is a programming language, accounts that are connected to an API system can only message accounts that are connected to an APP system, and not to another API system.
Partners can add funds to their Prepayment balance to cover the estimated* Conversation-Based-Pricing (CBP) expenses and ensure uninterrupted messaging services to their clients.
*Estimated costs: The precise amount will be determined by Meta's invoice at the end of the month, which will serve as the authoritative record of charge.
No. The Prepayment Balance on Partner Level is allocated for specifically covering CBP expenses. It cannot be utilized for other purposes (monthly license fee per hosted number).
We will deduct the monthly license fee per hosted number on the registered payment method (card). Please note that these are two separate charges.
360dialog calculates balances on a Partner account basis. Meaning that, if a Partner has multiple Partner accounts, they must add funding to each account. Each Partner account has a unique Partner ID.
If you have a remaining amount from any previous usage invoice, we will use it to set your initial balance. To guarantee your service is not disrupted, we will ensure you have at least 500 EUR/USD as an initial balance, so we may trigger a charge for the first time.
From that moment, every conversation of numbers registered under your Partner Hub will be deducted from the balance.
Based on the recharging settings configured on the Billing Portal, we will charge the respective amount on the registered card when the balance falls below the threshold (default is 100 EUR/USD). If the balance does not drop below the threshold, no charges will be issued.
When the balance is less than or equal to 0, an attempt to payment is initiated. We will charge the registered card the negative balance (amount due) plus the auto-renew recharge amount.
If we are unable to charge the registered card within a maximum of 7 days after the balance becomes negative, all the channels registered under this Partner Hub are blocked and unable to send messages. No invoice will be issued if the payment fails.
During the period of account blockage, end customers will receive the following API webhook response:
"Could not send message due to lack of payment. Messaging can resume once overdue invoices towards 360dialog are settled. Please reach out to your integration partner."
When invoices are paid and the outstanding amount received is confirmed by our Finance Team, we will unblock the account and balance will be restored. Please note that this isn't an instant process, so you must ensure 360dialog invoices are paid on time and within the due date, plus to have enough balance to cover for CPB expanses. If you have any questions, our Support Team is available for assistance.
If balance is not added, end customers won't be able to use their WhatsApp Business channels.
