WhatsApp is now a first-class channel. Sellers can link their WhatsApp Business number through Meta's Embedded Signup flow directly from /dashboard/settings/integrations. The AI assistant replies to WhatsApp DMs exactly the same way it does Messenger and Instagram — grounded in the seller's live catalog, with WebView-style order completion where the platform allows it.

What's new

WhatsApp Embedded Signup — connect a phone number in a single flow without touching the WhatsApp Cloud API console.
AI assistant replies to WhatsApp DMs with the same grounding and tooling already live on Messenger/Instagram.
Long-lived WhatsApp tokens are refreshed automatically alongside the Meta Page tokens.

Why it matters

WhatsApp is the default buyer channel in much of the world. Until this shipped, Botique could only answer Facebook-origin DMs — now a seller with a WhatsApp-first audience gets the full 24/7 AI coverage without a separate stack.
