Payment Requests via WhatsApp FAQs

Customers can use any of Ozow's supported payment methods on the hosted payment page. The customer selects their preferred method after tapping the payment link.

Can I issue a refund for a payment made via WhatsApp?

How much does it cost to send a Payment Requests via WhatsApp?

Ozow's per-message fee is as per the pricing page. Please speak to your Ozow Account Manager for a detailed cost breakdown specific to your pricing tier.

What is a Meta conversation charge?

Meta charges businesses per conversation, which is defined as a 24-hour messaging window starting from the first message. Utility-triggered conversations (such as payment requests sent by your business) are charged at Meta's standard utility rate. If a customer replies within that window, the conversation continues at the customer-initiated rate, which is typically lower.

Am I charged if a message is not delivered?

Meta's charges are based on conversation windows. If Meta attempts delivery and a conversation window is opened, a charge may apply even if the customer's device is temporarily offline. If the message fails before reaching Meta's infrastructure, no Meta charge will be incurred. Ozow will assist with any billing queries.
