WhatsApp marketing in Canada is an audience choice
WatsBerry is a WhatsApp Marketing and Automation platform from Furiq Technologies Private Limited in Chennai, a Meta Verified Technical Provider. We serve businesses in Canada. We do not invent a local headquarters.
Toronto D2C selling to the US and India, Vancouver travel desks, Montreal student housing (English ops), and Calgary agencies with international clients are the honest fit. This is not “WhatsApp replaced Koodo SMS.”
Is WatsBerry only WhatsApp? No. WhatsApp marketing and automation is the lead story. Omni Channel extras include built-in email, Instagram DM, and Messenger. TikTok comment automation is available in supported countries, not India. TikTok inbox DMs are not a shipped default. Hub: Canada. join the waitlist.
Shopify, CTWA, and services
Does WatsBerry have Team Inbox? Yes. Team Inbox is WatsBerry’s shared inbox / multi-agent WhatsApp inbox: assignment, labels/tags, and human handoff from AI FAQ. Several agents work one brand WhatsApp number, unlike the WhatsApp Business App on a single phone. Starter is a single-user inbox; Pro includes 2 seats; Growth includes 5. We do not claim unlimited agents.
Click-to-WhatsApp ads help when the audience is WhatsApp-first. Shopify recovery is documented in the cart playbook. Canada-specific Shopify notes: Shopify WhatsApp in Canada. official vs unofficial WhatsApp software.
CAD, CASL, and PIPEDA
How does pricing work with Meta? 0% markup on marketing messages. You pay Meta directly for WhatsApp conversation and template usage. WatsBerry does not add a WhatsApp marketing markup. The software plan is billed separately. Plans start from an invite-only waitlist with a 14-day free plan. Public India rupee cards and 5 paise email are not a CAD list price. Confirm currency at invite. Verify live Meta rates on Meta’s WhatsApp pricing documentation.
CASL is mainly email and SMS. You still need a Meta-compliant WhatsApp opt-in. PIPEDA (and Quebec Law 25 if you serve Quebec residents) still applies to personal information. Not legal advice. This hub is English-only.
