The short answer

A WhatsApp payment reminder is a Meta-approved utility template that tells a customer what is due, for which invoice and by when. With Adwix Connect you send reminders one by one from the inbox, in bulk from a CSV, or from your own billing software through the developer API, and you can request the payment inside the chat.

Why it matters

Reminder calls take hours and are easy to dodge. SMS and email reminders are often never opened.

A WhatsApp reminder is read, the customer can reply with a question or a screenshot, and the whole exchange stays on record against that contact.

How to set it up

1
Create a utility template. Include the customer name, amount, invoice number and due date as variables, with realistic samples for Meta’s review.
2
Bring in the dues. Upload a CSV for a campaign, or send from your own software with the developer API.
3
Send before and on the due date. Schedule a campaign for each reminder date.
4
Request the payment in chat. On the Professional plan, send a payment request and see when it is paid.
5
Confirm receipt. Send a payment-received template with the receipt as a document.

Meta rejects reminders that threaten legal action or public shaming, and templates that ask for sensitive details such as full card numbers. Keep it factual: amount, invoice and due date.
Yes. On the Professional plan you can send a payment request in the chat and see when it has been paid.
Yes, with the developer API on the Professional plan: your software sends the approved template with each customer’s details.
