# Add Payment Method

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:green;">WhatsApp</mark> charges you per <mark style="color:yellow;">conversation</mark>, not per individual <mark style="color:yellow;">message</mark>. Conversations are *24-hour message threads between you and your customers*. They are opened when messages you send to customers are delivered.

\
Each <mark style="color:green;">WhatsApp</mark> Business Account gets *1,000 free service* conversations each <mark style="color:yellow;">month</mark> across all of its business phone numbers. This number is *refreshed at the <mark style="color:yellow;">beginning of each month</mark>*, based on WhatsApp Business Account time zone.

**Please Note :** If your business <mark style="color:red;">doesn't</mark> have a <mark style="color:yellow;">payment method</mark> and has <mark style="color:red;">exceeded</mark> 1,000 messages <mark style="color:yellow;">per month</mark>, you will <mark style="color:red;">**NOT**</mark> be able to <mark style="color:red;">send or receive</mark> any <mark style="color:yellow;">messages</mark>.
