Onboarding terms

So setup runs smoothly with no surprises, please note:

You own your Meta account

For security and compliance, your Meta Business Manager account must be owned by your company — you invite us as the integration developer. Meta bills its per-message fees directly to your card.

Message templates

Meta must approve business-initiated messages. Smart Automation and Custom Enterprise include up to 3 custom templates. Extra templates are R450 R335 each.

Account compliance audit

If your existing Meta/Facebook account is banned, restricted or misconfigured, a R2,000 R1,500 compliance audit & cleanup applies first. We resolve it with Meta before building.

Are there any hidden or monthly costs?

The Basic Chat Widget has no monthly platform fees. Smart Automation and Custom Enterprise need a third-party shared inbox provider (about R500–R1,400/month). Meta also charges a fraction of a cent per conversation directly to your card — but gives you 1,000 free service conversations every month.

Do you handle the Meta/Facebook approvals?

Yes. For Smart Automation and Custom Enterprise we manage the entire Meta Business verification. You just provide your company registration documents (CIPC) and a utility bill.

What happens if something breaks later?

Websites and APIs change constantly. Our support plans start at R750 R560/month to keep your message gateways online, templates approved and automated flows up to date as your business changes.

How pricing works

Fixed quotes

A “from” price is the starting point. After a free scoping chat you get a fixed quote — no surprise invoices.

Simple payment terms

50% deposit to start, balance on launch. Larger builds are split into milestones.

Third-party fees

Domains, Meta messaging, inbox tools and gateway fees are billed to you directly by those providers — we never mark them up.

You own it

Custom builds are handed over with code, data and accounts in your name.

What does a “from” price mean?

It’s the starting price for the smallest version of that service. After a free scoping chat we give you a fixed quote for your exact scope before any work starts.

Who owns the code and data?

You do. Custom builds are handed over with your code, data and accounts in your name. White-label products are licensed and branded as yours.

Can I combine services?

Yes — most clients do, e.g. a business website with Smart Automation and a Care plan. Tell us what you need and we’ll quote it as one package.

Not sure what you need?

Send us a WhatsApp message describing the problem you’re solving. We’ll recommend the right package and give you a fixed quote — usually the same day.
