Which category should I submit this template under?+
Marketing. The message promotes redemption and future purchases, so it must be submitted as Marketing. Submitting it as Utility to reduce cost is the most common reason loyalty templates get rejected or later reclassified by Meta.
Does this template require opt-in?+
Yes. All WhatsApp marketing messages require the recipient to have opted in to promotional communication. A delivery-tracking or transactional opt-in does not cover marketing, so only send this to contacts who explicitly agreed to receive offers.
Why is there a 'Reply STOP to opt out' line?+
Meta requires marketing templates to give recipients an easy way to unsubscribe. Keeping a visible opt-out line — and honouring it — is both a compliance requirement and good practice that protects your sender quality rating.
How much does it cost to send?+
WhatsApp bills per delivered message by category since 1 July 2025. This is a Marketing template, so each delivered message is charged at India's Marketing per-message rate. InfiQ applies transparent ₹ pricing on that live rate card, ex-GST. The 24-hour window is a free service window for replies, not a billing unit.
Can I edit the wording?+
Yes. You can rewrite the copy as long as it stays within Marketing category rules, keeps truthful claims and retains the opt-out line. Any change to an approved template means re-submitting it for approval before you send.
How fast can I start sending after submitting?+
Template review is usually completed within a day. Once approved, you can send immediately and at scale through InfiQ — no additional wait between approval and your first campaign.
Can I send this loyalty message in Hindi or another regional language?+
Yes. Create a separate template with the translated body and submit it for its own approval. Regional-language versions typically see stronger comprehension and response, and each language is managed as its own approved template.
What should the four variables contain?+
{{1}} is the customer's first name, {{2}} is their exact live points balance, {{3}} is your approved brand name, and {{4}} is the real expiry date for the points. Pull the balance and expiry live from your system so the numbers are always accurate.
