Compliance & Best Practices

Conversational commerce in Home & Furniture 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.

Meta WhatsApp Business Policy — Opt-in & Templates
Home & Furniture brands need explicit opt-in (checkbox, form, or QR) before messaging on WhatsApp. Outbound sends use pre-approved templates categorized as marketing, utility, or authentication.
24-Hour Service Window
Once a customer messages you, free-form replies are allowed for 24 hours; outside the window only approved templates can be sent. Design flows to keep conversations inside the window.
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.
Quality Rating & Messaging Limits
WhatsApp scores sender quality from blocks and reports. High quality unlocks higher messaging tiers; irrelevant or over-frequent sends lower the rating and cap volume.

Common Message Types in Home & Furniture

High-performing brands rotate across transactional, behavioral, and promotional message types. Share below reflects revenue contribution across 300+ Zefir brands, not total send volume.

Abandoned Cart Reassurance
Reminders with reviews, delivery clarity, and financing recover high-AOV carts that need reassurance.
Delivery & Assembly Support
Order, delivery-window, and assembly-help messages reduce anxiety on large items.
Post-Purchase Room Completion
'Complete the room' cross-sells and styling tips after delivery lift AOV.
