WhatsApp newsletter FAQ
What is a WhatsApp newsletter?
A WhatsApp newsletter is a recurring campaign sent to subscribers who opted in to hear from your brand on WhatsApp. Each recipient gets it as a personal message and can reply, which makes it closer to a conversation than a broadcast email.
Do customers have to opt in?
Yes. WhatsApp requires explicit opt-in, and that is what makes the channel work: your list only contains people who asked to hear from you. Kanal collects opt-ins through website widgets, checkout, and QR codes, and handles opt-outs automatically.
How is it different from an email newsletter?
Reach and attention. Email newsletters average around 21% opens; WhatsApp messages are read by 96% of recipients, usually within minutes. WhatsApp also supports instant replies, so a newsletter can turn into a sales conversation.
What does sending a WhatsApp newsletter cost?
Two parts: your Kanal plan, from 89€/month, and Meta's fees per delivered template message, billed on usage. The pricing page has a simulator to estimate both for your list size.
Can I segment who receives each newsletter?
Yes. Because Kanal is Shopify-native, you can target segments like repeat buyers, big spenders, or customers who have not ordered in 60 days, without exporting or importing lists.
