In today's digital age, businesses have a plethora of communication platforms to choose from to connect with their customers. WhatsApp, as one of the world's leading messaging apps, offers two special versions for businesses: WhatsApp Business and WhatsApp Business API. In this blog article, we will explore the differences between these two versions and explain why Keaz has chosen to use the WhatsApp Business API to offer its customers advanced communication solutions.

WhatsApp Business: The Foundation for Small Businesses

WhatsApp Business is specifically designed for small businesses. It allows them to create a business account and communicate with customers on a more personal level. Key features include:

• Business Profile: Businesses can add important information such as address, business description, email address, and website.

• Automated Messages: The app offers the ability to set up greeting messages, absence messages, and quick replies for frequently asked questions.

• Catalog Function: Businesses can present their products or services directly in the app.

• Label System: For organizing chats and customer contacts.

This version is ideal for small businesses or solopreneurs who want to manage their customer communication directly and straightforwardly.
