FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can e-commerce businesses in Nigeria use the WhatsApp API?

Yes. Defuser AI provisions the Meta-Verified WhatsApp Business API for e-commerce businesses across Nigeria.

We already send abandoned-cart emails — why add WhatsApp?

Email open rates keep falling and many reminders never get seen. WhatsApp messages are opened far more reliably and let the customer reply or pay with one tap, so the same abandoned cart gets a second, higher-visibility chance to convert.
