WaBot was founded to help South African businesses compete on the world's most-used messaging platform — without enterprise budgets or technical teams.
South African businesses are among the most resilient and creative in the world — but they've been underserved by software built for markets with different needs, different languages, and different payment rails.
WaBot was built to change that. We're a WhatsApp-first platform that understands load shedding, Rand-based pricing, Paystack/PayFast, and the unique ways South Africans use their phones to do business.
Whether you're a solo trader in Soweto or a growing agency in Sandton — WaBot gives you the tools to connect, automate, and grow.
Your messages get delivered. We obsess over uptime, delivery rates, and failover so you never miss a conversation.
Rand pricing, SA payment gateways, SA business hours. We think local, always.
Every feature is designed for business owners, not IT departments. If it needs a manual, we've failed.
Full REST API, webhooks, and integrations. Your systems, your data, your rules.
From a simple automation script to a full-featured WhatsApp CRM platform.
