Free WhatsApp Templates for South Africa: Bookings, Quotes, Reminders & Reviews

Why WhatsApp Templates Matter for SA Businesses

South African businesses use WhatsApp to connect with customers quickly, but messaging without structure risks errors, delays, and compliance issues. Templates streamline communication while ensuring POPIA-aligned consent and secure handling of personal data.

With pre-built templates, businesses can handle bookings, quotes, reminders, and reviews efficiently, saving time while improving customer experience.

2. Quote Templates

Streamline price quotes and approvals:

3. Reminder Templates

Reduce no-shows and missed deadlines:

Example: “Reminder: Your appointment with [Business] is at [Time]. Reply YES to confirm or NO to reschedule.”

4. Review Request Templates
