whatsapp.payment_required

HTTP status 422
Area WhatsApp (from Meta)
Problem type https://docs.nexafone.so/errors/whatsapp.payment_required

The detail explains the occurrence; it can read, for example:

  • WhatsApp calls need a valid payment method on the WhatsApp Business Account.
  • WhatsApp could not bill the business. Check the payment method in Meta Business Manager.

The request is well-formed but its values are not accepted; fix them before retrying.
