Compliance & Best Practices

Conversational commerce in Pet Products 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

Pet Products 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.
