A: Thanks for asking – it's an important point.

With ChatMaxima, you'll be connecting via the official WhatsApp Business API (WABA), not by scanning a QR code.

Regarding charges: Yes, using the official API means Meta does charge based on conversations, though they offer a generous free tier (1000 conversations / number / every month) to get started. We chose this WABA route deliberately because unofficial methods (like QR scanning) are unstable and frequently lead to number bans by Meta, which we absolutely want to help you avoid.

Sticking to the official API ensures your WhatsApp channel remains compliant, stable, and reliable for your business long-term. Let me know if you have more questions!
