Can D2C brands use WhatsApp Business API to send these templates?
Yes. D2C brands of every size — from solo founders to enterprise teams — can apply for the WhatsApp Business API through an Official Meta Tech Partner like LandinChat. Once your number is approved you can send template messages (marketing, utility, authentication) to opted-in customers at scale.
Do template messages for D2C brands need approval from Meta?
Every template that initiates a conversation outside the 24-hour service window must be pre-approved by Meta. Approval typically takes a few minutes to a few hours. Inside the 24-hour window you can reply with free-form messages without approval.
How much does it cost a D2C brand to send WhatsApp messages?
Meta charges a per-conversation rate that depends on your country and the conversation category (marketing, utility, authentication, service). LandinChat passes through Meta's rate at cost — see the pricing page for the full breakdown.
What kind of WhatsApp message templates work best for D2C brands?
Short, action-oriented messages with one clear CTA convert best. Use the customer's first name, keep the body under 4 lines, include a single button (View, Pay, Confirm, Reply), and pair marketing broadcasts with utility messages so you build a healthy quality rating.
Can WhatsApp segment my customers by RFM and send different templates?
Yes — LandinChat lets you build dynamic segments (last purchase, AOV, total spend, location) and route different templates to each. Champions get VIP drops; lapsed customers get win-backs.
