# 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>.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://orimon.gitbook.io/docs/channels/whatsapp/add-payment-method.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
