Which Meta category is this?

Utility. This is a utility message: it tells the customer something they need to know about an existing order, booking, account or payment. Keep it free of promotion. If you add an offer, Meta can reclassify it as marketing, which costs more per message. Rates are set by Meta and change, so check the current India rate card; see our WhatsApp API pricing guide. InboxWA adds no markup to Meta's message fees.

When to send

Send the day after the due date, then at fixed gaps you have told the customer about.

A mistake to avoid

Surprising customers with a fee they were never told about. State the policy at sign-up.
