BYO Billing
When you connect your own WhatsApp Business number (Pro+), billing works differently from the shared number.
Level subscription
You still pay your Level plan subscription through Shopify:
| Plan | Price |
|---|---|
| Pro | $9.99/mo |
| Agency | Custom |
WhatsApp conversation fees
With BYO, Meta invoices your WhatsApp Business Account directly for conversation fees. Level does not charge per message.
The Billing page shows:
“Your WhatsApp number — billed directly by WhatsApp”
Unlimited sends from Level
Level does not cap or block message sending for BYO merchants (subject to Meta account standing and template approval).
What you pay Meta for
Meta charges per conversation (24-hour window), categorized as:
- Utility conversations (COD verification, reminders)
- Marketing conversations (abandoned cart, campaigns)
- Authentication conversations
Rates vary by country. Check your Meta Business Manager for current pricing.
Shared number vs BYO billing
| Shared number | BYO | |
|---|---|---|
| Level message cap | 50 free, then pay-per-message | Unlimited |
| Who bills for WhatsApp | Level via Shopify | Meta directly |
| Rate visibility | Message rates page | Meta Business Manager |
