WhatsApp chatbot for Sudan — understands Sudanese Arabic and confirms before dispatch
On this page 7
Why this page is different
In Sudan a customer sends a Bankak transfer screenshot and asks «وصل؟» (did it arrive?) — and an automatic «yes» before anyone checks the account ships an order that was never paid.
In Sudan a customer asks «بكم؟» and «في؟» and mostly pays through the Bankak app or on delivery. The agent understands their dialect and answers in the style you choose, collects and confirms the order before dispatch, and leaves checking the transfer to your staff instead of confirming a payment that has not arrived.

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 Sudan
TikTok is the biggest platform in Sudan by adult users, and the sale closes on WhatsApp. Electronic payment runs mostly through the Bankak app, past ten million subscribers, but it failed several times in September 2026, to the point that some traders refused payments because confirmations did not arrive. The currency itself is replacing old notes, so confirming the amount and the way of paying before dispatch protects both sides.
A conversation as it runs in Sudan
An illustration written in Sudanese Arabic, the way a customer there writes and the agent answers — not a real customer's conversation.
Hello, I sent the money through Bankak, here is the screenshot. Did it arrive?
Hello, we have the screenshot. We will check the money has reached the account and confirm your order straight away — we never ship before checking.
Fine, thanks
You are welcome! As soon as the transfer is confirmed, your order confirmation will arrive here.
And the mistake to avoid
Letting the bot confirm a payment. Have it collect the order and the transfer screenshot, then hand the conversation to a person who checks the account — and send «your order is confirmed» only once the money has actually arrived.
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 Sudanese Arabic?
The agent understands the customer in their own dialect — «بكم؟», «داير», «شنو» — and answers in the style the merchant sets. On WhatsApp it reads the +249 code and starts in the Nile-valley colloquial close to Sudanese; you can ask for Standard Arabic or a clearer Sudanese style in its instructions.
What does a WhatsApp API message to a Sudanese number cost?
A utility or authentication message to a Sudanese number is $0.0040, and a marketing message $0.0225, both from Meta's official card effective 1 October 2026. The price follows the recipient's dialling code, not the merchant's country; replying to whoever wrote first is free for the first 1,000 replies per number each month, then billed at the utility rate. Meta's fees are paid to Meta on your own account, with no markup from us.
How do I pay the subscription from Sudan?
Prices are shown to a visitor from Sudan in US dollars and paid by international bank card (Visa or Mastercard). If you have no card that pays in dollars, message us before subscribing and pay nothing until we agree on a way. Meta's WhatsApp fees are separate from the subscription and need a payment method Meta accepts on your own Meta account.
