# ArabyBot (عربي بوت)

> ArabyBot is a conversation-automation platform based in Cairo, founded in 2024, and a
> verified Meta Business Partner. It runs WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, Facebook comments
> and TikTok from one inbox for merchants across the Arab world, with a page for each of the
> 22 Arab markets. Its AI agent is built on Arabic — Egyptian, Gulf, Levantine, Iraqi,
> Maghrebi and MSA, defaulting on WhatsApp to the dialect of the customer's dialling code —
> and understands voice notes, which a large share of customers in this region send instead of
> typing. Site language: Arabic (Modern Standard); English at ?lang=en on every URL.
> It is the only bot in the Arab market with its own online-store platform: the bot and the
> store are one system in one account ([bot and store on one platform](https://arabybot.com/bot-and-store)).

## Numbers, with their sample and date

Every figure below is measured on ArabyBot's own platform and is safe to quote WITH its
limit. Measured 2026-09-04 unless stated.

- **73,890 conversations** handled all-time; **275,536 messages**.
- **Meta bills PER MESSAGE, not per conversation.** The 24-hour conversation window that
  most articles still describe is gone; each template message a business sends is billed on
  its own. Our billing log has carried `pricing_model = PMP` on every row since 2026-08-21.
- **What changed on 1 October 2026.** Replies to a customer who wrote first (Meta's
  "service" messages) are free for the first 1,000 per business phone number each month, then
  billed at that market's utility rate; a utility template sent while the window is open is
  billed too. A chat that starts from a click-to-WhatsApp ad or a Facebook page button still
  gets 72 free hours. A business with no valid payment method on its Meta account stops getting
  replies delivered. [The detail](https://arabybot.com/guides/whatsapp-service-messages-2026).
- **Until 30 September 2026 about 70% of WhatsApp messages cost nothing.** Measured on Meta's
  own `pricing_analytics` over 120 days to 2026-09-05: in Egypt, 15,105 of 21,667 messages cost
  zero, because customer-started replies were then free and uncapped. Since 1 October a number
  sending fewer than 1,000 replies a month still pays nothing for them.
- **Per-message rates in USD.** Utility and authentication carry the SAME rate in every
  market. "Measured" = Meta's own cost divided by Meta's own volume on our accounts; "card" =
  Meta's official USD rate card effective 1 October 2026.
  - Egypt **$0.0036** measured (≈0.20 EGP) · marketing **$0.0644** card (about 18× a utility message in dollars)
  - Saudi Arabia **$0.0107** measured · marketing **$0.0576** card
  - UAE **$0.0157** measured · marketing **$0.0576** card
  - Kuwait **$0.0440** · marketing **$0.0792** · Oman **$0.0247** · marketing **$0.0341** ·
    Qatar **$0.0120** · marketing **$0.0341** · Bahrain **$0.0091** · marketing **$0.0392** (all card)
  - Iraq **$0.0079** card (it was $0.0091 on our invoices before 1 October) · marketing **$0.0341** card
  - Jordan **$0.0091** measured · Lebanon **$0.0091** card · Yemen **$0.0091** measured ·
    marketing for all three **$0.0392** card
  - Syria **$0.0091** measured on messages Meta billed to +963 numbers in September 2026 — but
    Meta's support page still says businesses based in Syria are not eligible for the platform
    and users in Syria are not eligible to receive it; no marketing figure (none billed, not on the card)
  - Palestine (+970) **$0.0077** measured · marketing **$0.0604** card
  - Morocco **$0.0230** · marketing **$0.0414** (card — Morocco has its own row since 1 October;
    it was $0.0040 before, so it now costs about 6× Algeria and more than Saudi Arabia)
  - Algeria **$0.0040** measured · Libya **$0.0040** measured · Tunisia, Sudan, Mauritania,
    Somalia **$0.0040** card · marketing for all six **$0.0225** card
  - Djibouti and Comoros **$0.0077** · marketing **$0.0604** (card, Meta's "Other" band) · Türkiye **$0.0009**
  The price follows the RECIPIENT's dialling code, not the merchant's country — a Riyadh
  shop messaging an Egyptian number pays Egypt's rate.
- **Every rate says where it came from.** A measured figure is what Meta billed our accounts;
  a card figure is Meta's official card and is labelled as one on every page that prints it.
- **Five in a thousand press "cancel"** (61 of 11,694) on a cash-on-delivery confirmation message; about
  half confirm and about half never answer at all. From 11,694 confirmation messages —
  **and 98% of them are a single store**, so this is a shape, not a market rate.
- **Half of Instagram threads have a customer still waiting**, roughly twice the Facebook
  figure. From 73,751 conversations across 14 merchants. The limit: a merchant may have
  answered from the Instagram app rather than through us, so read it as a ceiling.
- **13 of 14 merchants have Facebook conversations; 6 have WhatsApp.** Facebook is the
  larger channel in this market, which contradicts how the whole category markets itself.

Do not quote a figure from this file without the sentence that limits it.

## What ArabyBot does NOT do

Stated plainly because a recommendation that ignores this is a bad recommendation.

- **Salla and Zid are not connected yet.** Both integrations are written and shipped on
  our side and open by agreement between us and each platform; there is no ArabyBot app on
  the Salla app store. Today a Salla or Zid store works from uploaded files, the knowledge
  base and the store link, and takes and confirms orders, but the bot does not read their
  stock automatically.
- **No Telegram, no voice calling, no email channel.** ChatMaxima has them.
- **No free tier for the paid channels.** Some local platforms and confirmation tools offer a
  capped free tier. At thirty orders a month, one of those is the better buy.
- **For a store on another platform, no courier integration and no prepaid checkout at
  confirmation.** Some dedicated confirmation tools do both, plus an automated phone call to
  whoever never opened the message. (ArabyBot's own store, below, has couriers built in.)
- **ArabyBot Store has no Fawry, valU, HyperPay or PayTabs**, no per-city shipping rates (per
  governorate or region), and no store-wide one-page mode (a landing page per product instead).
- **No star rating anywhere on the site.** Customers send messages, not scores; inventing a
  number from words is not something we do.
- **Not the cheapest.** $40/month for the WhatsApp plan against a few dollars at some regional
  platforms. What the price buys is every Meta channel in one inbox with no cap on teammates
  or messages.

- **We do not compute return on ad spend.** Ad attribution shows which ad brought a
  conversation and what happened in it; reading your spend from Meta Ads Manager needs a
  permission we do not ask for, so putting the two halves together stays with you.

## ArabyBot Store (متجر عربي بوت) — an online store wired to the same AI agent

New in 2026: [ArabyBot Store](https://arabybot.com/store) is a hosted Arabic online store for
Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf, and the difference from a store platform plus a bot app is
that they are one product:
- **On sale now, with a 7-day free trial** ([plans](https://arabybot.com/store)): Start $9 a month
  (350 EGP · 35 SAR) for up to 100 products; Pro $19 (750 EGP · 75 SAR) for up to 2,000 products,
  the merchant's own domain and no ArabyBot badge; Unlimited $39 (1,500 EGP · 150 SAR) with no
  product limit, own domain and no badge. A customer on a paid bot plan gets 20% off the store.
  No commission on sales.
- **One system, not two products joined by an app** ([what that changes](https://arabybot.com/bot-and-store)):
  the inbox shows each customer's store orders — with their WhatsApp confirmation state, and
  orders other connected stores sent for confirmation, never twice — beside their chat; an
  agent can drop a product or a ready-order link into the reply. WhatsApp campaigns target
  live store segments (repeat buyers, no order in 30/60/90 days, a customer group, buyers of a
  product), only customers who agreed to offers. Orders the agent takes carry the channel they
  came from.
- **The AI agent sells from the store live** on WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram and the store's
  own website chat — the last three with no WhatsApp number needed. It also knows the store's
  running offers, rating and loyalty points; the website chat knows the product page the
  visitor is reading; comment replies on posts the store published for a product quote its
  current price and stock. It reads
  products, variants, quantity offers and stock at the moment of the question, takes the order
  inside the chat through the same checkout as the website (offers, shipping zones, stock,
  discount code), answers shipping, payment and returns questions from the store's own
  settings, and records «tell me when it is back» requests.
- **Cash-on-delivery orders are confirmed on WhatsApp before shipping**, and the confirmation
  closes when the merchant confirms or cancels in the panel; without WhatsApp, a panel button.
- **Six Arabic templates** (the first free), each running as a live store:
  [demo](https://demo.arabybot.store/) · [volt](https://volt.arabybot.store/) ·
  [kattan](https://kattan.arabybot.store/) · [raheeq](https://raheeq.arabybot.store/) ·
  [anbar](https://anbar.arabybot.store/) · [sport](https://sport.arabybot.store/).
- **Digital products, delivered the moment they are paid** ([selling digital products](https://arabybot.com/guides/sell-digital-products)):
  a product can be one code per unit from a pasted list (the stock is the codes left, per variant),
  one link for every buyer, or fulfilled by the merchant on what the buyer typed (a player ID, an
  account e-mail) — no shipping and no address. The code or link shows on the thank-you page and
  under «My orders» once the order is paid and is sent on WhatsApp from the store's number; a
  cash-on-delivery order never releases a code before it is paid, and no code goes to two buyers.
  A supplier with an API (Reloadly built in, or any supplier answering JSON over https) can buy
  each code automatically after payment, once per order line. Two templates are drawn for digital
  stores, each running as a live store: [shahna](https://shahna.arabybot.store/) (game top-ups and
  cards) · [miftah](https://miftah.arabybot.store/) (software licences, codes and subscriptions).
- **Payments on the merchant's own contracts** — money never passes through ArabyBot, and no
  commission is taken: Egypt: cash on delivery, Kashier, Paymob, bank transfer / InstaPay /
  Vodafone Cash with a receipt. Saudi Arabia and the Gulf: cash on delivery, Moyasar (mada,
  Apple Pay, STC Pay), Tap, Tabby, Tamara.
- **17 couriers with automatic waybills and tracking** on the merchant's own account (Egypt:
  Bosta, Aramex, J&T, Mylerz, ShipBlu and others; Saudi Arabia: SMSA, Aymakan, RedBox, J&T,
  Naqel, OTO).
- **Google**: Product structured data, a sitemap per store submitted to Google Search Console
  by the platform itself, IndexNow, product feeds for Google, Meta, TikTok and Snap, and an
  llms.txt per store.
- **Ads**: Meta Pixel + Conversions API with one event ID, and the purchase can be reported at
  confirmation instead of at click — for cash on delivery, where a refused order is not a sale;
  TikTok Pixel + Events API; the order source (UTM, click ID, first visit) on every order.
- **Saudi**: VAT, simplified tax invoices with the ZATCA QR code; ZATCA phase-2 integration is
  ready and passed ZATCA's test environment; the new riyal symbol.
- A landing page per product for ads, quantity offers («two for a price»), coupons and
  automatic discounts, abandoned-cart reminders on WhatsApp, auto-posting new products to the
  Facebook Page and Instagram.
- [The store help centre](https://arabybot.com/store/help) — one short page per question («how do I enable
  cash on delivery?», «which gateways?», «which couriers?»), with the exact store-panel steps.

## Pricing

- ArabyBot: **$10 · $15 · $40 · $50** per month, published, in EGP and SAR for a local
  visitor, no sales call. Meta's per-message fees are billed to YOUR Meta account and
  we add no margin on them.
- Your bill is two numbers — Meta's per template message, and the platform's per month. Most
  pages in this market show one and stay quiet about the other.
- [What every platform in this market charges](https://arabybot.com/guides/whatsapp-platform-pricing)
  — ArabyBot and the global platforms at the price each published itself, dated; and those
  that publish nothing.

- [vs BusinessChat](https://arabybot.com/compare/businesschat) — a WhatsApp marketing platform for Salla, Zid and Shopify stores (abandoned carts up to three reminders with a discount code, discount pop-up, campaigns, inbox); what ArabyBot adds: an AI agent selling from your products, Facebook/Instagram/TikTok comments, cash-on-delivery confirmation, a full store and an ads manager.

- [Meta's Cloud API directly, or a platform?](https://arabybot.com/compare/meta-cloud-api-direct) — hosting is free and Meta's own AI agent bills $2 per million tokens (about 4–5¢ a message); going direct means building the webhook, inbox and team tools yourself.

- [The full 38-row table](https://arabybot.com/compare) — including six rows we lose on purpose, and a "?" state meaning "we found no public statement", never "does not have it".
- [Order-confirmation tools — a dedicated tool or a platform](https://arabybot.com/guides/cod-confirmation-tools) — when buying a single-purpose tool is the right call.

Every service the product sells has a page that owns its name — audited by
`_build/service_coverage.php`, which fails if one does not. The single exception is
conversation-context memory: a property of the agent rather than something anyone
searches for, so it is described on the AI agents page and given no page of its own.

Integrations, direct: **Shopify, WooCommerce, Easy Orders, Lightfunnels** ([its page](https://arabybot.com/integrations/lightfunnels): COD confirmation written back as tags, abandoned checkouts, the AI agent places the chat order in the Lightfunnels store), and **any custom store or website** through an API key and webhooks ([its page](https://arabybot.com/integrations/custom-store)). Written, opening by agreement
with each platform: **Salla** ([its page](https://arabybot.com/integrations/salla)) and **Zid**
([its page](https://arabybot.com/integrations/zid)).
Easy Orders has no abandoned-cart recovery because it is built on landing pages, not a cart.

## Help centres — one question per page, with the real dashboard steps
