WhatsApp Business API in Qatar.

We set up the official WhatsApp Business API for businesses in Qatar and the GCC and run it on WASL, our own platform: an AI-powered team inbox, approved message templates, auto-reply bots and automated notifications from your store or systems. The Gulf runs on WhatsApp; this is how your business uses it properly.

App or API: which do you need?.

The free WhatsApp Business app works well for a single phone and a handful of conversations. Once several people need to answer customers, messages need to go out automatically (order confirmations, delivery updates, reminders) or you want to send approved campaigns to opted-in customers, you need the official WhatsApp Business Platform, known as the Cloud API.

The API also gives you a verified business sender, templates approved by Meta, and the ability to connect WhatsApp to your website, store, CRM or POS.

How we set it up.

We connect your number to the official API through Meta, set up your business profile and verification, and create your first message templates. Your team then works from WASL, our own WhatsApp Business platform, with a shared inbox, AI-assisted replies, auto-reply bots, broadcasts to opted-in contacts, and analytics.

Where it adds value, we integrate WhatsApp with your systems, for example sending WooCommerce order notifications automatically or routing enquiries from your website. Because we build WASL ourselves, integrations aren't limited to what an off-the-shelf tool allows.

What it costs.

WhatsApp API costs have two parts: Meta's own per-message charges, which depend on the message category and the recipient's country, and the platform you use to manage conversations. WASL works on transparent, pay-as-you-go credits, so you can see consumption per message and set spending controls.

Request a free consultation and we'll estimate your monthly costs based on how many conversations and notifications you expect, and show you WASL on your own number.

Questions

Asked often.

What's the difference between WhatsApp Business App and the API?

The free app suits one person on one phone. The API is for businesses: multiple team members, automation, integrations with your store or CRM, verified sender status and broadcast messaging at scale — all of which WASL provides on top of the official API.

How much does the WhatsApp Business API cost?

Costs have two parts: Meta's per-message charges, which depend on the message category and the recipient's country (since 1 October 2026 replies inside the 24-hour window are also charged after the first 1,000 a month per number), and the platform. WASL works on pay-as-you-go credits — contact us for current pricing.

Is broadcast messaging on WhatsApp legal?

Yes, when done through the official API with opted-in recipients and approved templates — which is exactly how WASL works. Unofficial bulk-sender tools risk having your number banned; we don't touch them.

Can it connect to my existing website or POS?

Yes — WASL integrates with e-commerce platforms, booking systems and custom software. As the developers of both WASL and many of those systems, integration is our home turf.
