WhatsApp gateway for SA business

Plug your business into WhatsApp.

Chatport connects your WhatsApp number to your systems — so you can send automated notifications, reply to customers and run chat workflows from one simple dashboard.

No setup fee Cancel anytime We set it up for you

WhatsApp is where your customers are. Using it properly is the hard part.

96% of South Africans are on WhatsApp — but most businesses still run it off one phone, by hand.

Messages get missed

One phone, one person, endless chats. Enquiries slip through and customers wait — or go elsewhere.

Everything is manual

Booking confirmations, reminders, "your order is ready" — all typed out one at a time, all day.

Your systems can't talk to it

Your website, CRM or booking system has no clean way to send a WhatsApp — so it never does.

How it works

One port between WhatsApp and your business

We handle the plumbing. You get a reliable connection and a dashboard — up and running fast.

1

Connect your number

We link your WhatsApp number to Chatport. No new number, no app to install — your customers see the same business chat.

2

Plug in your systems

Your website, CRM or booking tool talks to Chatport through one simple API — or we wire up the automations for you.

3

Send & automate

Notifications go out automatically, replies land in one place, and every message is logged. Set it once and it runs.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Plain and simple, built to run in the background and just work.

Automated notifications

Order updates, booking confirmations, reminders and receipts — sent the moment they happen.

Two-way messaging

Customers reply and it lands right where you need it — nothing lost, full history kept.

One simple API

A clean, documented endpoint any developer or tool can plug into. Send a message in one call.

Reliable delivery

Retries, signed webhooks and delivery tracking built in — the same engine that already runs our own tools.

Message templates

Reusable, personalised templates for the messages you send again and again. Set them once.

POPIA-friendly

Your data stays yours. Local, privacy-first and built with South African compliance in mind.

Simple, honest pricing

One plan. Everything included. No setup fee, no lock-in.

Questions, answered

Do I need a new phone number?

No. Chatport connects your existing business WhatsApp number, so your customers keep chatting to the same number they already know.

Do I need a developer?

Not to get going. We set up your connection and the automations you need. If you have a developer, they can plug straight into our simple API.

What can it connect to?

Your website, online store, booking system, CRM or spreadsheets — anything that can make a web request can send a WhatsApp through Chatport.

Is there a contract?

No lock-in. It's R299/month, billed monthly, and you can cancel whenever you like.
