In Morocco, WhatsApp is where customers ask prices, confirm cash on delivery orders and follow deliveries. When volume grows, one shared phone becomes a bottleneck.
Short answer: Wati is a WhatsApp Business API platform with a team inbox, chatbots, broadcasts and integrations. It suits SMEs and e-commerce brands selling mainly on WhatsApp.
What is Wati?
Wati gives your team one WhatsApp number shared across agents, automated replies, template messages for broadcasts and connections to Shopify, CRMs and other tools. See Wati.
Problems it solves for Moroccan founders
- One phone, many agents: team inbox.
- Repeated questions: chatbots.
- Order and COD confirmations: template messages.
- Lost history: stored conversations.
Pricing and plans
Plans are monthly subscriptions, commonly starting around $40 to $50 a month for a small team, plus WhatsApp’s own per-conversation fees charged by Meta, which vary by country and message type. Check current pricing and Meta rates for your market.
How to get started
- Apply for the API through Wati.
- Write FAQ replies in Darija and French.
- Add agents.

Who it is for, and who it is not for
It fits SMEs, e-commerce, schools and clinics with high WhatsApp volume. Very small businesses can stay on the free WhatsApp Business app.
For companies entering Morocco: foreign brands launching in Morocco should plan WhatsApp sales and support from day one, since many Moroccan customers prefer to ask questions and confirm orders there rather than by email.
