WhatsApp Business API for Baran's garlic trade, fairs and Hadoti travel
Baran became a district in 1991, and garlic products are the entry Invest India lists for it. A wholesaler's first question about the new crop now arrives as a message, and the dispatch notice can follow on the same thread.
For Baran's garlic processors and produce traders, the hosts who fill up for the Sitabari fair and the Dol Mela, and the drivers who take visitors to the Ramgarh crater and Bhand Devra: how an order runs on the official WhatsApp Business API from a buyer's question to the dispatch notice, and what each message costs.
See it work
One garlic order, from question to truck
A spice wholesaler asks a Baran garlic unit for prices. Step through the order to see which messages are replies, which are templates, and where the unit's own billing system takes over.
Two kinds of message carry a Baran order. Prices, photos and answers to a buyer who has just written are replies, and need no template. The confirmation and the dispatch notice usually go days apart and outside any window, so they are approved utility templates that the billing system can send by itself.
When the buyer asks a question about the truck, the window opens again and a person at the unit answers from the shared inbox. The 24-hour service window explains the rule.

Questions Baran businesses ask
- Q1
Spice wholesalers ask our Baran garlic unit for prices when the new crop comes in. Can we send the price list without a template?
Yes, to a wholesaler who wrote to you in the last 24 hours. The price list, photos of the lot and your answers are replies at ₹0.145 each, and every new message from him restarts the window. A new-crop note to buyers who have not written is a marketing template at ₹0.94, for opted-in buyers only.
- Q2
Our garlic products unit wants confirmation and dispatch notices to go out from its billing software. How does that work?
Your software calls InfiQ's API with the buyer's number, the approved template and the order details, and InfiQ sends it as a utility message at ₹0.19. Signed webhooks then report delivery and read status, so the dispatch clerk can see who has seen the notice.
- Q3
Pilgrims stay with us for the Sitabari fair in May and June. Can our guesthouse remind past guests before the next fair?
Yes, if those guests agreed to hear from you. A fair-season offer is a marketing template at ₹0.94 per delivered message. Once a guest books, the confirmation with the dates and directions from Baran to Sitabari is a utility template at ₹0.19.
- Q4
A family in Kota wants a car to the Ramgarh crater and the Bhand Devra temple. Can we confirm the trip on WhatsApp?
Yes. If the family wrote first, your quote, the route and the pickup time are replies at ₹0.145 each. A reminder the evening before, sent after the window has closed, is a utility template at ₹0.19 with the driver's name and the time.
- Q5
Our sweet shop in Baran takes orders for the Dol Mela at Dol Talab. Can we tell customers when their order is ready?
Yes. A ready-for-pickup notice for an order the customer placed is a utility template at ₹0.19, in Hindi, with your address and a map link. If the customer replies to ask about timing on the day of the procession, your answers are replies at ₹0.145.
- Q6
Our buyers and drivers around Baran write to us in Hadoti. Can our templates be in Hadoti?
No. Hadoti is not on Meta's list of template languages, so templates go in Hindi or English. Inside the 24-hour window after someone writes, your staff can answer in Hadoti, and those replies cost ₹0.145 each like any other.
