hatsApp Optin is a process that allows businesses to communicate with their customers on the WhatsApp platform. In order to send messages to a customer on WhatsApp, the business must first obtain the customer's phone number and consent to receive messages. When a customer opts in to receive messages on WhatsApp, they are essentially giving permission for the business to send them promotional or informational messages through the app.

In order to ensure successful message deliveries, it is essential that the customer provides accurate contact information and consents to receive messages on WhatsApp. It is important for businesses to obtain customer opt-in for WhatsApp messaging in a transparent and ethical manner. This includes clearly explaining the types of messages that will be sent, how often they will be sent, and how the customer can opt-out if they no longer wish to receive messages.
