Send order details template message
Updated: Nov 4, 2025
Overview
Order details message template is a template with interactive components that extends the call-to-action button to support sending order details and provides a richer experience compared to templates with only text components.
Once your Order details message templates have been created and approved, you can use the approved template to send the template message with order or bill information to prompt customers to make a payment.
Before sending an order details template message, businesses need to create a template with an “order details” call-to-action button. See Create Message Templates for Your WhatsApp Business Account for more information on prerequisites and how to create a template.
