WhatsApp has over 2 billion users worldwide and an open rate above 90%. A WhatsApp bot lets your business qualify leads, book appointments, handle support, and process orders — all inside the app your customers already use every day. Unlike email or web forms, WhatsApp conversations feel personal and immediate. KAUFAST designs, builds, and deploys production-grade WhatsApp bots connected to your CRM, calendar, and payment systems.
What Are WhatsApp Business Bots?
WhatsApp Business bots are automated conversation agents that run inside the WhatsApp Business API. They handle customer enquiries, process orders, send notifications, and qualify leads — 24 hours a day, without human intervention. Unlike basic auto-replies, custom bots integrate with your CRM, payment gateway, and inventory systems to deliver real transactions inside the chat window.
Over 2 billion people use WhatsApp monthly — more than any other messaging platform.

What is a WhatsApp bot?
A WhatsApp bot is an automated assistant that runs inside WhatsApp. It can answer questions, collect information, process bookings, send notifications, and handle transactions — available to your customers 24/7 without human intervention.
How much does a WhatsApp bot cost?
A focused bot — for example, an appointment booking bot — typically costs between £3,000 and £7,000. A multi-flow bot with CRM integration, payments, and analytics ranges from £10,000 to £25,000. We provide a fixed quote before development begins.
How long does it take to build a WhatsApp bot?
Simple bots ship in 2–3 weeks. Complex bots with multiple flows, integrations, and custom NLP take 4–8 weeks. We agree on a timeline before starting.
What is the difference between WhatsApp Business API and the regular app?
The WhatsApp Business API is the official platform for automated messaging at scale. Unlike the regular app, it supports chatbots, message templates, multi-agent access, and integration with CRMs and payment systems. We handle the full API setup.
Can my WhatsApp bot integrate with my CRM?
Yes. We integrate with HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Zoho, and custom CRMs. Every conversation, lead, and booking syncs automatically — no manual data entry.
Is it GDPR compliant?
Yes. We build bots with consent collection, data minimisation, and encrypted storage. For EU clients, we ensure all data processing complies with GDPR requirements and provide a Data Processing Agreement.
What languages does the bot support?
Our bots detect and respond in multiple languages automatically. We have active deployments handling English, Spanish, Catalan, German, French, Portuguese, Italian, and more — with no extra configuration for end users.
Can the bot handle payments?
Yes. We integrate payment links from Stripe, PayPal, and other providers directly into WhatsApp conversations. Customers can pay without leaving the chat.
What happens when the bot cannot answer a question?
Every bot includes intelligent handoff to human agents. When the bot detects a question it cannot handle confidently, it transfers the conversation to your team with full context — no information lost.
Do I need technical staff to manage the bot?
No. We provide an admin dashboard where you can update responses, view analytics, and manage conversation flows. No coding required after launch.
