Frequently Asked Questions About Switching
Why do Malaysian businesses switch from Wati to Chattalyst?
Wati is a solid global WhatsApp inbox, but many Malaysian SMEs hit USD subscription pricing, conversation-linked platform fees, and limited Bahasa Malaysia / Manglish AI depth. Chattalyst bills in MYR with 8% SST invoices, charges 0% markup on Meta conversation fees, and ships F&B, car workshop, and insurance playbooks built for local workflows.
Does Chattalyst support Malaysian payment methods and SST invoices?
Yes. Chattalyst accepts FPX online banking, DuitNow QR, and local cards in Malaysian Ringgit, and issues compliant 8% SST tax invoices for corporate deductions. You avoid FX spreads common with USD-billed tools.
How does Chattalyst's multilingual AI compare to Wati?
Chattalyst's agentic AI is tuned for Malaysian business chat—Bahasa Malaysia, English, Chinese, and Manglish mixes such as 'boleh booking slot esok?'. That reduces failed intents compared with English-centric automation templates.
Can I migrate contacts and keep my WhatsApp number when leaving Wati?
Yes. Export contacts as CSV from Wati, import into Chattalyst, and reconnect the same number on the Official Meta Cloud API with coexistence so your mobile WhatsApp Business app stays usable during migration.
