Can I keep my current WhatsApp number?
Yes. If you use the WhatsApp Business app, you can connect the same number and keep using the app on your phone: replies typed there appear in the shared inbox, and you can bring up to six months of history. You can also connect a new number instead.
Is this the official WhatsApp?
WA Desk runs on the official WhatsApp Business Platform (Cloud API) from Meta. Your number is connected through your own Meta Business account, unlike unofficial tools that can get a number blocked.
Who pays WhatsApp's message fees?
Meta bills WhatsApp's message fees directly to your business. We don't add anything on top. Your WA Desk plan covers the software: inbox, automations, campaigns and the shop.
What's included in the free trial?
14 days with 2 teammates, 500 contacts, 5 automations, 200 campaign messages and 100 MB of media storage, including the shop and AI steps. No card or payment is needed to start.
How do I pay?
With MTN Mobile Money or Airtel Money, from the Billing page inside the app. Pay monthly, or yearly and get two months free.
What is the 24-hour window?
WhatsApp lets businesses send free-form messages within 24 hours of the customer's last message. After that, only approved templates can be sent. WA Desk shows how long the window has left and switches to templates when it closes.
Can buyers pay in the shop with Mobile Money?
Yes, once mobile money is approved for your shop. Payments go straight to your own provider account, and every payment is confirmed with the provider before the order is marked paid. Cash on delivery and pay at pickup work from day one.
What happens if my subscription runs out?
Nothing is deleted. Your inbox keeps receiving and answering messages, while automations, campaigns and adding teammates pause until you renew. Paid plans get a 3-day grace period.
Is my data safe?
Each workspace is kept separate, your WhatsApp token and API keys are stored encrypted, and every sign-up confirms its email address. You decide who on your team is an admin or an agent.
