Login unavailable when WhatsApp messages cannot be sent

Login via OTP requires automated WhatsApp message delivery. If your store is unable to send WhatsApp messages, login-related features will be unavailable.

When does this happen?

Login will not work in the following cases:

  • During the $1 trial

  • When you have no WhatsApp message quota after subscribing to a paid plan

  • On the Basic plan

What changes in your storefront?

When WhatsApp messages cannot be sent:

  • The login button will be hidden from your storefront

  • The feature "require login at checkout" will be unavailable

  • The login & earn rewards banner will be unavailable

Why this happens

Customers need to receive a WhatsApp OTP to log in. If messages cannot be delivered, login cannot be completed. To prevent a broken experience, login-related features are automatically disabled or hidden.

What you can do

To enable login features again:

  • Ensure your WhatsApp message quota is available

  • Upgrade to a plan that supports WhatsApp messaging (if applicable)
