Example wording to start from. On a website form, let the customer tick the box themselves. Always stop messaging people who ask you to. This is not legal advice — follow the laws that apply to your business. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Why opt-in protects your number

WhatsApp's policy says people should expect the messages they get. When they don't, they block or report the business — and that lowers your quality rating. Meta can then limit how many people you can message. Clear consent, and an easy way to stop, keeps your number healthy.

Meta lists several ways to collect opt-in, including your website, SMS, a phone call and in person or on paper. Step-by-step: how to collect WhatsApp opt-ins.

Send only to people who said yes

With Lead Pattern's WhatsApp broadcasting you send campaigns to the customers who opted in. Before a big send, run your message through the spam checker.

Opt-in generator FAQ

What is a WhatsApp opt-in?+

A customer's permission to receive messages from your business on WhatsApp. WhatsApp's policy requires it before you message someone. What is an opt-in? →

Do I need a separate opt-in for offers?+

WhatsApp's policy recommends separate opt-ins for different kinds of messages. Asking separately for offers and for order updates also means people who only want updates aren't annoyed by promotions.

Can the tick box on my website be ticked already?+

Our advice: leave it empty and let the customer tick it. Consent the customer chose clearly is far more likely to hold up, and people who chose to hear from you rarely block you.

What should I do when someone replies STOP?+

Stop sending them those messages. WhatsApp's policy says businesses must respect every request to opt out, on or off WhatsApp.

Is this legal advice?+

No. It gives wording that follows Meta's opt-in rules. Check the laws that apply to your business too.
