YCloud

What YCloud is

YCloud is a marketing, sales, and customer service platform for businesses that use WhatsApp. It handles verification, marketing, notification, and customer service messages, with campaign broadcasts and automated journeys to reach customers and schedule communications. A shared team inbox brings conversations together, and chatbot workflows with AI integration support customer service. Commerce tools include product catalogs, order confirmations, billing updates, WhatsApp Pay, interactive Flows, and click-to-WhatsApp ads. YCloud identifies itself as a Meta official, Premier level WhatsApp Business Solution Provider. Its REST API returns JSON, with examples in Java, Python, PHP, and JavaScript; Shopify integration is listed, with Shopify also available as a $5 /shop /mo add-on. Plans include a free tier and paid plans from $39/mo. WhatsApp message charges are separate from the subscription; YCloud says those fees follow Meta rates without added markup. The service is available on the web and through an API. YCloud is headquartered in Singapore, and its primary servers are there; personal data may be processed outside a user's jurisdiction.
