EliteTeQ Inbox in Kenya
Replies inside the 24-hour window after a customer writes are free. Meta charges for template messages you start (marketing, authentication and most utility templates), priced by the customer’s country, so a template to a Kenyan number is billed at Meta’s Kenya rate. Chats that start from a Click-to-WhatsApp ad are free for 72 hours. Meta bills these charges to your own Meta account; they are not part of the EliteTeQ price.
Kenyan customers ask on WhatsApp before they walk in or pay: prices, stock, delivery to their estate or town. EliteTeQ is based in Nairobi, so setup and support happen on Kenyan time with a team that knows how local shops sell.
Customers write in English, Swahili or Sheng. Your team replies the same way, and template messages can be created in English or Swahili.
Office hours are set day by day for each number. A common setup in Nairobi: weekdays open, Saturday mornings open, Sunday closed. Anyone who writes while you are closed gets your away message, at most once every 12 hours, and the chat waits at the top of the list for the morning.
