WhatsApp Business API in Philippines
WhatsApp is the channel of choice for cross-border Filipino professionals and BPO clients — complemented by Viber and Messenger for local commerce. LandinChat helps Filipino businesses run broadcasts, AI chatbots, shared team inbox, and catalog & payments on the official WhatsApp Business API — with PHP billing and GCash support out of the box.
What is the WhatsApp Business API in Philippines?
The WhatsApp Business API (now called the WhatsApp Business Platform) is the official programmatic interface Meta provides to medium and large businesses. Unlike the free WhatsApp Business app, the API is built for scale — supporting thousands of conversations a day, multiple agents on a single number, automation, analytics, and deep CRM integration.
In Philippines, with around 18 million monthly WhatsApp users and 73% smartphone penetration, it is the most reliable channel to reach customers — typically delivering 80%+ open rates and 5–10× the conversion of email.
LandinChat is an Official Meta Tech Partner, which means we onboard your business on the official Meta cloud-hosted API, help with green-tick verification, and run all your broadcasts, chatbots, and conversations on top of it.
