Whose WhatsApp number does your customer see?

Estimates and updates go out on the official WhatsApp Business API — not a linked personal number that Meta can ban. Use ours, or register your own.

Worth asking before you sign, not after

Every estimate, catalogue and follow-up message that leaves SaleShade reaches your customer on WhatsApp.

Which raises a question most people do not think to ask until they are already using something.

Whose number is it, and can it be taken away?

Start on ours, or bring your own

Start on SaleShade's account
  • Live from day one — no registration with Meta, no business verification
  • Nothing to wait for — no approval before you can send
Or bring your own number
  • The number they already have saved — your customers see you, not us
  • You register for the Business API — and we help you through it
  • Meta charges passed at actual — nothing added — we do not resell somebody else's messaging

The software handles both the same way.

It is not a different product depending on which you choose.

The cheap way works, until it does not

There is a cheaper way to automate WhatsApp, and a great deal of software uses it: link an ordinary WhatsApp number to unofficial tooling and send from there. It works. It costs the vendor nothing. It demos beautifully.

Then Meta bans the number.

The official Business API is Meta's own route for businesses to message customers.

Six years of customers

the number on your board, your card, your vehicle

It does not get banned for doing the thing it exists to do.

The things your team sends anyway

An estimate reaching a customer before he has left the shop.

A follow-up going out on the day it was due. A new price list reaching the dealers who stock that category.

All of it from a business number, on the sanctioned route, with a record of what was sent and when.

Approved templates, and what that means for you

Worth explaining, because it is the part nobody mentions until something does not send.

So an estimate template carries the customer's name, the number and the amount. A new-product message carries the product and the range. One approved template covers every product you will ever announce, because the changing parts are variables rather than new text.

Meta requires approved templates

Not free text typed fresh each time — a format Meta has reviewed, with the details filled in per customer. One approved template covers every send of that kind.

We handle them

Estimate, follow-up, thank-you and the rest are already approved and working. Anything new is submitted the same way.

A daily conversation limit

Meta starts every business on one and raises it as your sending record proves itself. Six hundred dealers on day one is worth planning around rather than discovering.

Included on both arrangements

WhatsApp is part of SaleShade on both arrangements.

There is no separate messaging product to buy and no per-message margin on top of Meta's own charges.
