Why this page is different
The order arrives as a Facebook comment, ships cash-on-delivery to a distant wilaya, and comes back with both legs paid because nobody confirmed it.
A market that sells from Facebook first and ships cash-on-delivery through courier companies to every wilaya. One confirmation before delivery, an agent that understands Algerian Darija and answers in the style you choose, and a message price measured on our accounts, not copied.
What you get in Algeria
- One confirmation before delivery: the item, the wilaya, the commune and the amount in dinars
- Understands the customer's Algerian Darija or French message and answers in the style you choose
- WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger in one shared inbox
- Shopify and WooCommerce connected, a Google Sheet for any other store
- A full mobile app to manage replies from anywhere
The WhatsApp Cloud API does not restrict a number's country. The two real conditions are that the number is not active on the WhatsApp app when you register it, and that you hold a Meta Business Manager account. The detail is in our Cloud API explainer.
How the market works in Algeria
In Algeria a sale starts on Facebook before Instagram, cash on delivery is the rule, and delivery runs through courier companies shipping to 58 wilayas with a fee paid either way. A return here costs more than in any neighbouring market, and confirmation before dispatch is not a luxury.
And the mistake we see most
The most common mistake: answering Facebook comments with "message us privately" and then leaving the DMs unanswered. The comment must open the DM automatically, and the agent answers there and confirms the order and the wilaya before anything ships.
By your sector
The problem changes completely with what you do — a clinic books appointments and is forbidden from giving medical advice, a store checks live stock and confirms an order.
Frequently asked
Does the bot understand Algerian Darija?
The agent understands the message in Algerian Darija, French or a mix, and answers in the style the merchant sets. There is no separate "Algerian" template; the model understands the dialect and the instructions set the style.
Which currency do I pay in from Algeria?
Prices are shown to a visitor from Algeria in US dollars, paid by international card or manual transfer. There is no Algerian dinar billing yet.
What does a WhatsApp API message to an Algerian number cost?
About $0.004 for a utility message (about 0.53 dinars), measured on our accounts over 120 days. The price follows the recipient's dialling code, and replying to whoever wrote first is free inside the window. We hold no measured marketing rate for Algeria yet, so we print none.
