Send WhatsApp Pay Messages
The WhatsApp Pay feature allows businesses to send an order payment link to the end customers on WhatsApp. Customers can pay the order amount using any of the UPI apps using the link or pay from WhatsApp natively.
The WhatsApp pay feature is built on existing messaging solutions such as Single Product Messages, Multi Product Messages, and Product Detail Messages that help in placing orders using the product catalog. Further, the feature is powered with payment solutions by partner payment gateways.
