Starting October 1, WhatsApp to ‘stop’ delivering messages from these WhatsApp Business accounts

​WhatsApp Business users could see their messages stop being delivered from October 1 if their accounts do not have a payment method on file. Meta is introducing per-message charges for service messages starting today, ending a period when these messages were not charged. As part of the change, Meta has warned Solution Providers and businesses using direct integrations that it will stop delivering service messages for accounts that have not added a payment method by September 30.
​
In a blog post, the company wrote, “For any Solution Provider or directly-integrated businesses that does not have a payment method on file by September 30, 2026, Meta will stop delivering service messages as of when they become charged on October 1, 2026.”
