WhatsApp Business API for Daman's hotels, homestays and seafront businesses
Seventy-two square kilometres on either bank of the Daman Ganga, with a fort, beaches and a tourism department now licensing seafront hotel land. Every booking here starts a run of messages that can go on WhatsApp.
For Daman's hotels, homestays, restaurants and ride-hire operators: how a booking confirmation travels from your register to a guest's phone as a Gujarati template, which messages Meta charges as utility, marketing or service, and what each costs in rupees.
See it work
One check-in message, from the register to the guest
A guest from Surat books a sea-facing room in Moti Daman for Saturday. Follow the check-in note down through each layer it passes on its way to their phone.
Each layer does one job. The register knows the booking, InfiQ knows whether the guest agreed and which language version to send, Meta delivers it, and the phone shows it in the language the guest reads.
Once the guest replies, asking for an early check-in or the way to Jampore Beach, the front desk answers inside the 24-hour service window without a template, each reply charged at the service rate.

- Shared team inbox
Reception, the restaurant and the owner answer one number together, with transfers and private notes for late arrivals.
- WhatsApp Coexistence

Questions Daman businesses ask
- Q1
We have registered our homestay with Daman's tourism department. Can booking confirmations go to guests in Gujarati?
Yes. Meta accepts Gujarati templates (gu). A confirmation of the guest's own booking, with the dates and the address, is a utility template at ₹0.19 per delivered message. Add a Hindi or English version for guests who read those better; each is approved separately.
- Q2
Guests ask about sea-facing rooms near Jampore Beach late at night. Can the front desk reply the next morning without a template?
Yes, as long as the reply goes within 24 hours of the guest's last message. Inside that window staff answer freely, each reply charged at ₹0.145. If the guest writes again the 24 hours restart; after the window closes, only an approved template reaches them.
- Q3
Some of our Moti Daman regulars around Bom Jesus Church prefer Portuguese. Can our templates go out in Portuguese?
Yes. Portuguese (Portugal) is on Meta's template list as pt_PT, and Meta charges by the recipient's country code, so a Portuguese template to an Indian number costs the same ₹0.19 or ₹0.94 as a Gujarati one. Write the Portuguese carefully; Meta reviews each version.
- Q4
If we run the bicycle and e-scooter service in Daman, can riders get their unlock codes on WhatsApp?
Yes. A one-time code is an authentication template at ₹0.14 per delivered message, with a copy-code button. Ride receipts and deposit refunds go as utility templates at ₹0.19. Riders need to have agreed to WhatsApp messages when they signed up.
- Q5
Our restaurant near Devka Beach takes table bookings from one phone. Can three of us answer it at once?
Yes. The shared team inbox gives 10 users on Lite and 25 on Growth, with transfers, labels and private notes, so whoever is at the counter can confirm a table. With WhatsApp Coexistence the owner can keep the WhatsApp Business app on the same number.
- Q6
Can our hotel on the Daman Ganga Riverfront send a holiday offer to past guests from Surat and Mumbai?
Only to guests who agreed to receive offers from you. An offer is a marketing template at ₹0.94 per delivered message, even to a guest who stayed last month. InfiQ records each opt-in's source and time and enforces STOP replies across the account.
