Compliance & Best Practices

Conversational commerce in Supplements & Nutrition is governed by TCPA (US SMS), GDPR (EU), and platform rules from WhatsApp Business. Brands that scale safely build these into their opt-in and send-pattern design.

TCPA — Express Written Consent (US)

Supplements & Nutrition brands must capture clear written opt-in before promotional SMS, disclose frequency and 'msg & data rates may apply,' and honor STOP/HELP immediately.

10DLC Registration (US carriers)

US A2P SMS requires brand + campaign registration. Unregistered traffic is heavily filtered — register the brand, use-case, and sample messages to protect deliverability.

GDPR — Lawful Basis (EU)

EU subscribers require explicit consent or documented legitimate interest, with transparent data use and easy withdrawal or erasure within 30 days.

Quiet Hours & Frequency

Send within local quiet-hour windows (typically 8am–9pm) and cap frequency. Over-messaging erodes deliverability, raises opt-outs, and can trigger carrier filtering.

Common Message Types in Supplements & Nutrition
