Why Next.js for this
A rejected template costs you a week. We write them against the current policy so they clear the first time, and we structure the flows so you stay in the cheaper conversation categories.
Next.js is strongest at server rendering, streaming AI responses and fine-grained caching in one framework. For whatsapp bot development that matters because the failure modes of this kind of system tend to cluster exactly there.
The honest trade-off: the rendering model has real depth and a team needs time to learn it properly. We say that up front because a stack chosen for fashion rather than fit becomes someone's migration project two years later. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.
You own the code, the models where they are open-weight, and the documentation to run it without us.

Questions
Do you use the official API?
Always. Unofficial WhatsApp libraries get business numbers banned permanently, and there is no appeal worth relying on. We onboard you properly through the Business API.
How long does onboarding take?
Typically one to two weeks including business verification and display-name approval, assuming your documentation is in order. We handle the submissions.
Can it take payments?
Yes, catalogue, cart and payment collection through supported Indian payment providers, inside the conversation.
