The platform has strong potential because WhatsApp is widely used by customers and can support direct business communication when the underlying systems work correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The support experience is operationally unacceptable. A deleted product catalogue remains attached to our WhatsApp Business Account in Meta’s backend, preventing us from connecting the correct Shopify catalogue. The system returns “WABA should have maximum one product catalog,” even though the incorrect catalogue has already been permanently deleted and cannot be disconnected through the interface.
Meta’s support system then traps business customers in an automated loop. The AI assistant repeats irrelevant instructions, directs us to a personal Facebook Support Inbox that does not contain the business case, and refuses to connect us with a human because an existing case is marked “active.” That active case produces no meaningful technical action or resolution. Even the “Request an update” function fails with a system error.
This is not a minor usability issue. A backend defect is blocking a core business integration, while Meta provides no functioning escalation path to an engineer capable of resetting the association. For a platform used by businesses for customer communication and commerce, this level of technical support is indefensible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
