How it looks on WhatsApp

WhatsApp formatting cheat sheet

Bold: *text*. Use it for the offer or the one thing you want noticed.
Italic: _text_. Good for dates and small print.
Strikethrough: ~text~. Show the old price next to the new one.
Monospace: ```text```. Coupon codes and order IDs are easier to copy.
Inline code: `text`, lists: start a line with - or 1. , quote: start a line with > .

Writing messages customers actually read

Put the reason to read in the first line, because that's all the notification shows. Bold one thing, not everything. Keep it under about 60 words, end with a single clear action ("Reply YES", "Tap to order"), and only send offers to people who agreed to hear from you.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

How do I make text bold on WhatsApp?

Put an asterisk on both sides: *Diwali sale* shows as bold. Use underscores for italic (_today only_), tildes for strikethrough (~₹999~) and three backticks for monospace.

Does formatting work in WhatsApp Business API templates?

Yes. Meta templates support the same bold, italic, strikethrough and monospace markers in the message body.

Can I make bulleted or numbered lists?

Yes. Start a line with "- " or "* " for bullets, or "1. " for a numbered list. Start a line with "> " for a quote.
