Catalog Templates

This document explains how to create catalog templates. See Sell Products & Services to learn more about product catalogs and ways to showcase your products.

Catalog templates are marketing templates that allow you to showcase your product catalog entirely within WhatsApp. Catalog templates display a product thumbnail header image of your choice and custom body text, along with a fixed text header and fixed text sub-header.

When a customer taps the View catalog button in a catalog template message, your product catalog appears within WhatsApp.

Requirements

You must have inventory uploaded to Meta in an ecommerce catalog connected to your WhatsApp Business Account.

Request Syntax

Use the WhatsApp Business Account > Message Templates endpoint to create a catalog template. Once your template is approved, you can use Cloud API to send it in a template message.
