Using WhatsApp Product Messages with the Vonage Messages API

Vonage has integrated its Messages API with WhatsApp Product Messages, allowing businesses to communicate with customers on their preferred channel, showcasing products and services, and browsing them without leaving the conversation. The process involves setting up a Meta Commerce Account, creating a catalog, and linking it to a WhatsApp Business Account, then using the Vonage Messages API to send product messages. The setup includes purchasing a virtual phone number, enabling the Messages capability, generating a JWT token, and configuring message templates. Businesses can test the application by running scripts that interact with the template and sending messages to a destination number. With this integration, businesses can provide a cost-effective chat experience to their customers while showcasing their products and services.
