When to send it

Marketing templates promote something: an offer, a launch, a reminder to come back. They cost the marketing rate (Rs 0.8631 per message in India from April 2026), require the contact to have opted in, must include a clear way to opt out, and are subject to Meta's per-user frequency capping: if a customer has received several marketing messages from different businesses recently, Meta may hold or drop yours (error 131049). Send them to people who engage, at a sensible cadence.

Use case: Abandoned Cart Recovery. Send it as a broadcast to a segment that has opted in, or as a step in a drip sequence. VGraple CRM shows the estimated Meta cost and the live recipient count before you send.

Approval tips

  • Lead with the value in the first line; WhatsApp shows roughly the first 60 characters in the notification.
  • Include an opt-out instruction ("Reply STOP to unsubscribe"). VGraple CRM processes STOP in many languages and suppresses the contact automatically.
  • Attach a quick-reply button where a reply is the goal. Replies open a 24-hour service window in which follow-ups are free.
  • Meta needs a sample value for every variable at submission time. The gallery supplies realistic samples for this template, so approval is usually quick.
  • Template names must be lowercase with underscores; the gallery uses cosmetic_abandoned_cart as the base name and adds a suffix if you already have one.

Cost per message

Sent to Indian numbers, this template costs the marketing rate on Meta's April 2026 rate card: Rs 0.8631 per delivered message, billed by Meta directly. VGraple CRM adds no markup. Rates for other countries are on the WhatsApp API pricing pages.

Frequently asked questions

Is "Cosmetic Abandoned Cart" a utility or a marketing template?
Marketing. It promotes an offer or invites the customer back, so it costs the marketing rate, needs a prior opt-in, must carry an opt-out instruction and is subject to Meta frequency capping.
How do I use this template in VGraple CRM?
Open Templates, choose Gallery, filter by Cosmetic Store, and select "Cosmetic Abandoned Cart". The builder pre-fills the body, the variables and the sample values with your business name; submit it to Meta from the same screen. Approval usually takes minutes to a few hours.
Can I edit the wording before submitting?
Yes. Everything is editable in the builder. Keep the category honest: if you add promotional wording to a utility template, submit it as marketing, otherwise Meta will reclassify it and bill the higher rate.
