Is the WhatsApp message price based on my country or my customer's?
Updated 3 October 2026
Your customer's country. Meta charges by the country calling code of the person who receives the message, for example +91 or +971.
- Your restaurant's own country does not set the rate.
- The template category also matters. Marketing, utility and other types have different rates.
- You are charged when a template message is delivered.
- Meta bills the fee to your own WhatsApp account. Menuthere takes no cut.
