Frequently Asked Questions
Everything about the Zoho Books + WhatsApp integration
Yes. Zoho Books generates an online payment link for each invoice. BizwaChat pulls this link from the Zoho Books API and includes it in the WhatsApp template as a clickable button or URL. Customers can pay directly from WhatsApp. Supported payment methods include all gateways connected to your Zoho Books account (Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay, etc.).
Yes. Before each scheduled reminder, BizwaChat queries the Zoho Books API to check the invoice payment status. If the invoice has been marked as paid, BizwaChat skips the reminder and cancels any subsequent reminders in the sequence. This prevents customers from receiving reminders for invoices they've already paid.
Yes. You can create multiple WhatsApp templates and assign different templates based on invoice amount ranges, client category, or invoice age. For example, invoices over ₹1,00,000 might use a more formal template, while smaller invoices use a friendly nudge template. BizwaChat supports conditional template selection.
It can complement or replace email delivery. You can configure BizwaChat to send WhatsApp invoices in addition to Zoho Books' built-in email delivery, or use it as the primary delivery channel. Many businesses find WhatsApp delivery alone achieves 80%+ open rates vs. 20-30% for email, making WhatsApp the preferred channel.
BizwaChat integrates with all Zoho Books paid plans (Standard, Professional, and Premium). The integration uses the Zoho Books API which is available on all paid tiers. A Zoho Books free trial can also be used for testing the integration before committing to a paid plan.
