Questions, answered.
What is a WhatsApp CRM?
A WhatsApp CRM runs your customer relationships inside WhatsApp: every chat becomes a contact, a job and a payment trail. Lunchbox adds an AI agent on top, so enquiries get answered, booked and invoiced without you touching the phone.
What does Lunchbox cost to get started?
Lunchbox starts at R997 per month for the full AI agent, bookings, quotes and invoicing. Team (R1,699/mo) and Business (R3,697/mo) add more users, contacts and volume. Every plan starts with a 14-day trial: you add a card to start and are first billed on day 15.
How does the AI agent handle my customers?
The AI agent replies to new WhatsApp enquiries in seconds. It answers questions from your business's own knowledge, offers real appointment slots from your calendar, and books the job. In request mode, nothing is confirmed until you approve it.
Does Lunchbox work with Xero?
Yes. Lunchbox creates quotes and invoices in Xero directly from the WhatsApp conversation, and payment links via PayFast or Yoco can be sent in the same chat. You do not need Xero: Lunchbox can raise invoices on its own.
Do I need the WhatsApp Business API?
Yes, and Lunchbox sets it up for you. You connect your number through Meta's own signup, and you keep your existing number.
Which businesses is Lunchbox built for?
Lunchbox is built for small businesses that run their day on WhatsApp: trades and callouts, salons and studios, shops and retailers, estate agents and small service teams. If your customers message you, Lunchbox can answer, book, quote and take payment in the chat.
Is my customer data safe (POPIA)?
Yes. Lunchbox is built for South Africa's POPIA: your customer data is stored encrypted, never sold, and the details are in our privacy policy.
