# Product

> Send a single product from your catalog as an interactive message

## Request

Use `type` as `interactive` and set `interactive.type` to `product`.

A single-product message displays one product from your catalog. The recipient can view the product details, add it to their WhatsApp cart, and send the cart back as an order.

### Field types

* `to`: string (required)
* `type`: string = `interactive` (required)
* `interactive`: object (required)
* `interactive.type`: string = `product` (required)
* `interactive.body`: object (optional)
* `interactive.body.text`: string (optional)
* `interactive.footer`: object (optional)
* `interactive.footer.text`: string (optional)
* `interactive.action`: object (required)
* `interactive.action.catalog_id`: string (required)
* `interactive.action.product_retailer_id`: string (required)
* `tags`: array of strings (optional)
* `metadata`: object | string (optional)

### Field behavior and limits

* `interactive.action.catalog_id` is the ID of the Meta catalog connected to the WhatsApp Business account.
* `interactive.action.product_retailer_id` is the retailer ID (SKU) of the product within the catalog.
* `interactive.body.text` is optional, max 1024 characters.
* `interactive.footer.text` is optional, max 60 characters.
* Product data (image, name, price, stock) is fetched by WhatsApp at delivery time — the recipient always sees the latest catalog state.
* If the `product_retailer_id` does not exist in the catalog, the message is not delivered and an error is returned.
* Cannot be sent as a notification — only inside an existing conversation.
