# Best WhatsApp Apps for Shopify Stores in India > A ranked list of WhatsApp apps for Indian Shopify stores, with plan prices, who bills Meta and what sits behind add-ons, all checked 26 Oct 2026. By Smaran Challapalli. Updated for 2026, 26 Oct 2026. First published 15 Oct 2026. Canonical: https://chirpoo.com/blog/best-whatsapp-apps-shopify-india/ The best WhatsApp apps for Indian Shopify stores are the ones that publish their price, let you pay Meta directly and keep order messages out of expensive add-ons. This list ranks ten options on those points. [Chirpoo](https://chirpoo.com/) ranks first at ₹1,499 a month with Meta billed direct. Every price below is from the vendor's own page, checked 26 Oct 2026. ## How were these WhatsApp apps ranked? The ranking follows what a small Indian store pays and does. Four questions decided the order: 1. **Who bills Meta's charges, and is there a markup?** Paying Meta direct keeps the bill flat as you grow. 2. **What is the monthly fee?** A price you can read beats "book a demo". 3. **What sits behind a higher plan or an add-on?** Shopify messages, extra numbers and extra logins are where bills grow. 4. **Can you leave with your data?** Open code and an export matter when you change tools. Where a vendor's page does not show something, this list says "not published". It never fills a gap with a guess. Meta's own India rates are ₹0.8631 for marketing and ₹0.115 for utility from 1 Oct 2026 ([Meta pricing](https://developers.facebook.com/documentation/business-messaging/whatsapp/pricing), checked 17 Oct 2026), so any figure above those on a vendor's page is worth asking about. We found, reading these pricing pages on 26 Oct 2026, that the Shopify features are where most plans split into tiers and add-ons. ## What is Chirpoo, and why is it first for a Shopify store? Chirpoo is a shared WhatsApp inbox with flows, broadcasts, templates and an AI agent, on the official Cloud API. The Commerce plan adds Shopify messages: order confirmed, shipped with tracking, cart reminders, review requests, COD confirmation and a store chat button. Chirpoo submits those templates to Meta for you. - **Price:** ₹1,499 a month for Commerce (₹999 without the Shopify messages), excluding 18% GST. - **Included:** one WhatsApp number and 5 team logins. Extras are ₹250 a month each. - **Meta:** you pay Meta directly. Chirpoo adds nothing per message. - **Open source:** it runs on the open-source WhaLeads code (Apache-2.0). - **Trial:** 14 days, every feature, no card. It ranks first on all four questions: one published price, no markup on Meta, the Shopify messages inside the plan rather than in an add-on, and your number and data staying yours. ## What do the other WhatsApp apps make you pay for?

Shopify Inbox and Shopify Messaging [Shopify Inbox's listing](https://apps.shopify.com/inbox) describes "An AI sales associate for your online store" and does not mention WhatsApp. Shopify Messaging sends WhatsApp marketing campaigns only. Its [requirements page](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/promoting-marketing/create-marketing/shopify-messaging/whatsapp/requirements) says you connect your own WhatsApp Business Account through Meta and that a STOP line in every message "can't be removed or edited". Neither page describes a team inbox. See [Chirpoo vs Shopify Inbox](https://chirpoo.com/compare/chirpoo-vs-shopify-inbox/). ## Why should you price your own month before choosing? Write down one month's total for each tool you are considering: the plan, extra numbers, extra logins and any Shopify add-on, then Meta's charges on top. Where a vendor publishes no price, the total is a demo call away. Our [order updates post](https://chirpoo.com/blog/shopify-order-updates-whatsapp/) and [chat button post](https://chirpoo.com/blog/shopify-whatsapp-chat-button/) show what a store needs on day one.

On their own pages, AiSensy starts at ₹1,500 before its chatbot and AI add-ons, WATI Growth is ₹2,699 plus a Shopify add-on, Interakt Growth ₹2,799 and Gallabox Basic ₹2,999. ### Who pays Meta's WhatsApp charges? Meta charges per delivered message: ₹0.8631 for marketing and ₹0.115 for utility in India from 1 Oct 2026. With Chirpoo you pay Meta directly and Chirpoo adds nothing per message. Several vendors list higher per-message rates or state a markup, so ask before you sign. ### Is Shopify's own WhatsApp messaging enough? Shopify Messaging sends WhatsApp marketing campaigns to customers who opted in, with a fixed STOP line in every message. The pages we checked do not describe a shared team inbox, order updates or COD confirmation. Chirpoo Commerce adds the inbox, flows and store messages in one plan. ### Can I switch later without losing chats? With Chirpoo your WhatsApp number stays yours, and contacts and chats stay readable through the API until you close the workspace. A full export is available on request. Check each other vendor's export terms before you commit. ## Related guides and posts - [WhatsApp for Shopify Stores](https://chirpoo.com/guides/whatsapp-for-shopify/) - [WhatsApp for D2C Brands: One Plan for Store Messages](https://chirpoo.com/blog/whatsapp-for-d2c-brands/) - [Shopify WhatsApp Marketing Consent, Explained](https://chirpoo.com/blog/shopify-whatsapp-marketing-consent/) - [WhatsApp Review Requests for Shopify Stores](https://chirpoo.com/blog/whatsapp-review-requests/) - [Add a WhatsApp Chat Button to Your Shopify Store](https://chirpoo.com/blog/shopify-whatsapp-chat-button/) - [Shopify Order Updates on WhatsApp, Set Up](https://chirpoo.com/blog/shopify-order-updates-whatsapp/) - [Chirpoo vs Zoko: Rupee Billing or Dollar Plans](https://chirpoo.com/compare/chirpoo-vs-zoko/) - [Chirpoo vs QuickReply.ai: Price on the Page](https://chirpoo.com/compare/chirpoo-vs-quickreply/) - [Chirpoo vs BiteSpeed: Published Price or Demo](https://chirpoo.com/compare/chirpoo-vs-bitespeed/) - [Chirpoo vs Shopify Inbox and Shopify Messaging](https://chirpoo.com/compare/chirpoo-vs-shopify-inbox/) [Start free](https://app.chirpoo.com/login): 14 days, every feature, no card.
