Can I put a dish photo in a WhatsApp offer message?
Updated 6 October 2026
Yes, on the WhatsApp Business API. A message template can have a header with an image, video, GIF, document or location instead of plain text.
- The body text can be up to 1024 characters and the footer up to 60.
- A template can have up to 10 buttons in total, with at most two URL buttons and one phone button.
- Offers are marketing templates, so the customer must have opted in.
- Use a clear photo of one dish and add a button that links to your menu.
Send the offer, then take the order
Menuthere broadcasts and comeback messages go out on your own WhatsApp number, and the Order Now button takes the customer straight to your menu.
