Why WhatsApp for Thailand

WhatsApp + LINE + Facebook Messenger collectively cover most messaging in Thailand. WhatsApp dominates among inbound visitors (Indian, Western, some Russian) and is increasingly used by Thai SMEs for customer service. Email open rates of 20%, SMS at 15%, WhatsApp at 90%+, for transactional and time-sensitive content, WhatsApp wins.

WooCommerce integration

We build the integration with WooCommerce so order confirmations and shipping updates fire to WhatsApp automatically. Customers get a notification, can reply with questions, and you (or our customer support automation) respond. Conversion-rate uplift is typically 3-8% on the abandoned-cart flow alone.

Compliance

WhatsApp has strict opt-in requirements. We don’t help spam, we help build subscribed-only lists, with double-opt-in via OTP. Our setup ensures compliance with WhatsApp Business policies and Thailand’s PDPA.

Engagement structure

One-time setup (API onboarding, integration, template messages, automation flows). Ongoing retainer for broadcast campaigns and customer support automation. Pricing scales with message volume. Meta charges per template message, we pass costs through.

FAQ

Can I use my regular WhatsApp number?

For WhatsApp Business API, you’ll need a dedicated number (existing personal WhatsApp won’t work). We help you provision one through a Business Solution Provider.

What if customers reply?

You see replies in a unified inbox. Choice of: (1) team handles manually, (2) we set up automated quick replies + escalation, (3) we provide trained agents.

WhatsApp vs LINE for Thailand?

Both have place. WhatsApp dominates inbound (foreign customers); LINE dominates Thai-resident audiences. We can run both in parallel.
