FAQ
Is setup charge one time for branded keyword or need to pay every month?
Branded keyword setup charges are one time and you will not be billed monthly however you should have an active phone automation plan to configure a branded keyword.
Will the free session counts get debits from my existing phone automation plan?
No, you will be provided with a dedicated free interaction counts for a example if you are on a "Large" plan it offers 25,000 free interactions in a month so you will get 25,000 free interaction for the phone automation and WhatsApp Shared Number each i.e total 50,000 free interaction but both can't be clubbed together.

Please note in "Unlimited" plan free whatsapp shared number interaction is limited to 50,000 in a month 
How I will be billed for template messages ?
Irrespective of your plan you will be billed for all template messages based on the destination country, please refer the country wise template message charges i.e no free messaging quota available for template messages and your account should have enough balance to send templated messages.
How & When the Signature Works ? 
Signature works and append to the message only if one user is interacting with multiple keywords through a Single WhatsApp Shared number , for an example lets consider 2 business have following keywords and both of them are selling "mobile phones" 

#galaxy
#myphones
User 
#galaxy whats the price of iphone 6 32 gb ?
It costs you $499 

Do you have red color is stock ?
Sorry we dont have red color in stock as of now.
#myphones do you have iphone 6 32 gb red color in stock ?
Yes, we have iphone 32 red color in stock and it costs you $499
Now let's assume after few hours #galaxy business got the stock for red iphone 6 and sends the below message to the user 

Hey, Just now new stock arrived for Iphone 6 Red and it costs you $429. 

Here the WhatsApp Shared number context is set to the #myphones business which the user interacted last so the system will append the signature at the end of the message so that the end user can identify the message came from #galaxy business , so the user will see the message as below 
Hey, Just now new stock arrived for Iphone 6 Red and it costs you $429. 
Send by Galaxy Mobiles to reply send #galaxy followed by your message or Click the link 
The signature will append only if the existing context is not available to your business.
How Opt-Out Works ? 
User's can opt-out from a WhatsApp Shared number by simply sending #<your-keyword> <space>STOP like #picky stop and users will be opt-out from the WhatsApp Shared Number.
You can see all opt-out users under Settings->Black List->Opt-Out
Can I opt-out a user manually so that i don't get billed ?
Yes, you can manually opt-out a user by adding the mobile number along with country code without + or 0 , Settings -> Black List ->Opt-Out->Add Optout Number button
