WhatsApp Business API in Nigeria
Nigeria is Africa's largest WhatsApp market — every serious D2C, fintech and EdTech operator runs customer journeys on the platform. LandinChat helps Nigerian businesses run broadcasts, AI chatbots, shared team inbox, and catalog & payments on the official WhatsApp Business API — with NGN billing and Paystack support out of the box.
What is the WhatsApp Business API in Nigeria?
The WhatsApp Business API (now called the WhatsApp Business Platform) is the official programmatic interface Meta provides to medium and large businesses. Unlike the free WhatsApp Business app, the API is built for scale — supporting thousands of conversations a day, multiple agents on a single number, automation, analytics, and deep CRM integration.
In Nigeria, with around 90 million monthly WhatsApp users and 50% smartphone penetration, it is the most reliable channel to reach customers — typically delivering 80%+ open rates and 5–10× the conversion of email.
LandinChat is an Official Meta Tech Partner, which means we onboard your business on the official Meta cloud-hosted API, help with green-tick verification, and run all your broadcasts, chatbots, and conversations on top of it.
