Official WhatsApp Business API for Hubli-Dharwad businesses via InfiQ (a Meta Business Partner): Kannada-first messaging, transparent ₹ pricing on Meta's per-message rate card, GST invoices to Karnataka, and setup in about 2 hours with full BSUID ownership.Built for how Hubli-Dharwad businesses actually sell
Commerce in the Hubli-Dharwad belt is a mix of established trade and newer digital-first ventures. The APMC and wholesale markets, cotton and agri traders, automobile dealerships along the Pune-Bengaluru corridor, edtech and coaching institutes clustered around the university district, hospitals and diagnostic labs, and a rising set of D2C and SaaS startups all share one thing: their customers live on WhatsApp. Rather than chasing missed calls or ignored SMS, these businesses can send order confirmations, payment reminders, appointment slots, admission updates and delivery tracking straight into the app people check dozens of times a day. Because InfiQ runs everything on the official WhatsApp Business API — not an unofficial or grey-market gateway — your number stays verified, your templates stay compliant, and you own the customer relationship outright.
- Agri, cotton and wholesale traders: dispatch confirmations, rate updates and payment follow-ups
- Coaching centres and edtech: admission enquiries, fee reminders, class and exam schedules
- Automobile and dealership networks: service reminders, test-drive bookings, insurance renewals
- Hospitals, clinics and labs: appointment confirmations and report-ready notifications
- D2C and SaaS startups: order updates, cart recovery, onboarding and support flows
Transparent ₹ pricing
WhatsApp bills per delivered message, priced by category — marketing, utility and authentication — since Meta moved off per-conversation billing on 1 July 2025. The 24-hour window after a customer messages you is a free service window for replies, not a billing unit. InfiQ layers its own platform plans on top of Meta's live rate card and shows the ₹ cost transparently (ex-GST), so a Hubli-Dharwad business can forecast spend by message volume and category instead of guessing. Plans start around ₹999/month, scale to ₹2,999/month, and reach custom Enterprise tiers for high-volume senders, with every invoice raised under GST to your Karnataka registration. You get a clear split between platform subscription and Meta's per-message charges — no surprise line items.
- Meta charges per delivered message by category (marketing / utility / authentication)
- The 24-hour service window is free for replies — it is not a billing unit
- InfiQ platform plans from ₹999 to ₹2,999/month, plus custom Enterprise
- GST invoices issued to your Karnataka business (prices quoted ex-GST)
Onboarding for Hubli-Dharwad businesses
Getting live is a guided, four-step process and most Hubli-Dharwad businesses complete it in about 2 hours, verification permitting. First, we help verify your business inside Meta Business Manager using your GST, company and address details. Second, you connect your phone number through Meta's Embedded Signup — a self-serve flow where you keep full ownership of your BSUID (the Business-Scoped User ID tied to your account) rather than handing control to a middleman. Third, we help draft and submit your message templates for Meta approval in Kannada, Hindi or English. Fourth, once templates are approved, you go live and can start broadcasting and automating. Throughout, InfiQ's team walks your staff through the console so day-to-day operations don't depend on a developer.
- Verify your business in Meta Business Manager
- Connect your number via Embedded Signup — you keep full BSUID ownership
- Submit templates for approval in Kannada, Hindi or English
- Go live and start messaging — typically within 2 hours
Kannada-first messaging and local support
North Karnataka customers read and reply far more readily in Kannada, and the API supports it natively. With InfiQ you can build and get approved templates in Kannada, Hindi and English, and switch languages per audience — send a fee reminder in Kannada to a parent in Dharwad while confirming an export order in English to a buyer in Bengaluru. Support runs on India hours, so when your team needs help with a template rejection, a new use case or a broadcast, you're talking to people in your own time zone who understand how Karnataka businesses operate. That combination — the verified green-tick channel, the right language, and reachable help — is what turns WhatsApp from a personal chat app into a dependable business system for Hubli-Dharwad.
